Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But next year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
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.”
