They Don’t Trust The Voters.

Have you noticed that the Republicans don’t trust the voters to vote the right way… the Republican Way.

• They gerrymandered the voting districts to make sure they win.
• They mandate voter ID that low income and minorities have a hard time getting.
• They are making it harder for absentee ballots to be used.
• They have shortened early voting.
• They have made it harder to vote in person, Georgia made it a crime to give water and food to voters waiting in line for hours.
• They have made it harder for people with felony convictions to vote.
• They have cut the number of voting districts to make it harder for low income voters to get to the polling places.

Now they are making it harder to pass ballot questions. They have increases the number of signatures to get a question on the ballot.  They are trying to increase the percentage a yes votes to pass a ballot question.

Florida, stop blocking voters from deciding on abortion | Opinion

The group working to ensure abortion access in Florida has nearly reached the number of signatures it needs under state law to put a proposed constitutional amendment on the 2024 ballot. As of last week, Floridians Protecting Freedom had almost 864,000 of the required 891,523 validated signatures. This is important news. The voters of Florida must have the chance to speak on this issue, rather than allowing the Florida Legislature, which passed an extreme, six-week abortion ban in May, to force its decision on the rest of us.

They are going over every minute detail of the question trying to prevents from getting on the ballot and checking the signatures with their voting card.

The ballot measure is not a done deal yet. The state is trying to block voters from having their say. Attorney General Ashley Moody has filed a court challenge regarding the wording of the summary that would appear on the ballot. Getting the signatures is a crucial step. The abortion-rights group has until Feb. 1 to submit all the signatures and meet other requirements, including that the signatures come from at last half of Florida’s congressional districts. The group has said it’s on track to submit 1.4 million signatures for validation by the state. That should be more than enough — almost half a million more than required — even allowing for some signatures to be tossed out as invalid.

And they are going to court to try to block the voters.

Moody’s brief, filed with the state Supreme Court, argues, essentially, that Floridians will be confused by the wording of the ballot summary. The amendment would prohibit any state law that delays or bans abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the health of the patient. It would protect abortion access in Florida until viability, estimated at around 24 weeks.

The Republicans know that every ballot questions in every state so far defeated the Republicans attempt to make abortion illegal.

Those pesky voter just can’t get it right.
