Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
Every State, Every Vote: Federal Court Strikes Down Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Pay-To-Vote Law
On Sunday, a federal judge struck down GOP Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ voting restrictions which required felons to repay all outstanding court costs before they could register to vote. In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle called the pay-to-vote law “unconstitutional” and said it served no purpose “other than perhaps to discourage felons from registering.”
Every State, Every Vote Co-Chair Oregon Gov. Kate Brown released the following statement:
“I applaud Judge Hinkle’s ruling striking down Gov. Ron DeSantis’ blatant attempt to dismantle re-enfranchisement efforts. Florida voters overwhelmingly agreed to grant former felons their fundamental right to vote – without any barriers. Gov. DeSantis’ attempt to undermine democracy is shameful and unconstitutional. Governors should be working to protect voting rights, not tearing them down.”
