You can tell that we're making progress in Florida, John, because the MAGA crew just pulled back Congresswoman Elise Stefanik's nomination to be the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. -- worried that it might cost them the House.
As a reminder: Florida is holding a special election on Tuesday to fill vacancies in the U.S. House of Representatives, following cabinet nominations by President Donald Trump. And they're worried about opponents of voting rights losing elections in districts Trump won by 30 points last fall.
What else makes these special elections important? Opponents of voting rights hold a 3 seat majority -- 218 to 215 -- in the House. One media report after another tells the tale -- Speaker Mike Johnson is having a hard time wrangling them all to vote for his priorities, and any dent made in that majority will make it harder for them to pass bills that harm voting rights this year or next.
It all starts with the American Confidence in Elections (ACE) Act which would nationalize voter suppression and the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would add onerous voter ID requirements, potentially disenfranchising millions of married women who changed their last names. Those bills are just the tip of the suppressive iceberg, with many in Congress looking to follow the election lies to policies that disenfranchise voters and make Trump happy.
We can stop all that with huge voter turnout in these Florida specials. But we need your help to make sure every voter in Florida is aware of these special elections, when early voting starts, how to request a new mail-in ballot, and so much more.
John: Fuel our work to spread the word and turn out every pro-democracy voter with $25 or whatever you can right now to stop attacks on voting rights in the House >>
