Gov. Rick Scott signed into law on Thursday pernicious election changes designed to benefit Republicans and suppress voting by minorities, college students and low-wage workers.
By shortening early voting from two weeks to eight days, the new law makes it harder for low-income working people who don't have flexible hours to vote. And early voting is barred three days before Election Day, ensuring that the weekend before the election, when casual voters are most engaged and most able to vote, there will be no opportunity.
In another craven move by Republicans, voters who change their residences a lot such as renters, college students and the poor will now to be handed provisional ballots at the polls, which may or may not be counted.

Rick "the Dick" Scott has been pushing for big changes in Florida. For one thing he wants to drug test welfare recipients.
That issue aside his wife owns Solantic, (because he signed it over to her) a chain walk-in clinic, that also specializes in drug testing.

Good!! Anyone receiving government aid SHOULD be drug tested. By the way, he sold his family shares of Solantic on April 29th to a private equity firm.

Drug testing disciminates against marijauna users who are no more a threat to the work force than alcoholics.
This is because marijuana can stay in the system for up to 30 days while most hard drugs are no longer detectable after a couple of days. It's unfair to the "peaceful pothead".

I bet it's his wife's private equity firm.
No it discriminates against people who live off the system and spend their money or gov paid for meds to buy drugs..............

One day, a person who wears a pressed suit to work and a person who wears greasy overalls to work will meet in the street, and understand that they have always had more in common with each other than with the ultra-elites exploiting both of them for profit. And on that day, the revolution will begin.
