Science Deniers’

Upcoming Events
The LADC Action Committee is asking for you to please contact your FL state Senators and ask them to vote against SB90.
- Eliminate the use of drop boxes
- Require individuals to request to vote by mail each election cycle, which would result in an estimated 6 million Floridians being purged from the VBM list. County election officials estimate this will also cost taxpayers an additional $12-$16 million for county outreach
- Makes it difficult for caregivers to return ballots for individuals that have physical disabilities, as the law would require that they be an immediate family member.
- Democrats now have a significant Vote By Mail advantage that will be wiped out if this bill passes.
