Fla. GOP Pushes Controversial Voting Law Changes

Florida Republicans are moving to cut in half the amount of time allotted for early voting in the state, in an attempt to hurt the Democratic ticket in 2012. Over three quarters of Florida voters turned out in 2008 and there were long lines despite two weeks of early voting. These maneuverings clearly are an attempt to reduce turnout that might benefit Democrats, as higher voter participation did in 2008, and is being pushed by the state's conservative Governor Rick Scott.
