On the Road: Florida
By: Elisabeth MacNamaraIt was a quick trip to Florida, but an important one – I was there for the last two days of voter registration in the state. A court decision rejecting efforts by politicians to limit organizations like the League from registering voters unleashed a flurry of activity over the summer. Due to the strict new voter registration rules, the Leagues in Florida did not hold voter registration drive, therefore there was a lot of ground to make up when they began registering again. League members around the state registered thousands of new voters and helped others update their registration.
