Support House Bill 537 and pass a "clean" voting reform bill

In the next few days, the Florida legislature will decide if our flawed electronic voting systems will be backed up by a paper record - or if we'll let another election be tarnished by unreliable results.
What good is the right to vote if your vote is lost or miscounted?  
We need your help.

We need you to call you legislator today - the session ends on Friday.  

Click here to find the contact information for your legislators.  

Tell them to support House Bill 537 and pass a "clean" voting reform bill that gives Floridians paper ballots and doesn't include the Senate amendments that will undermine the bill.

The House bill was passed by the Senate last Friday and is now awaiting action by the Florida House again. The bill provides funding to replace the touchscreen electronic voting machines in Florida with optical scan machines capable of producing a paper, voter verifiable ballot.

But Senators have also added a number of bad amendments that would weaken the enforcement of election laws in Florida, restrict third party voter registration efforts and make it more difficult for citizens to use the initiative process to propose needed reforms.

Please call your legislators today and tell them to pass a strong voting reform bill.

Tell your legislators to oppose efforts to:
  • Make it harder for citizens to file complaints alleging a violation of the state's election laws. 
  • Place burdens on the petition gathering process.
  • Create harassment of voters who have signed petitions by allowing moneyed interests to pressure them to revoke their signatures. 
  • Put a band-aid on the unconstitutional third party voter registration law passed in 2005.
