Corrine Brown and her Democrat co-complainers are not simply outraged that Florida voters will have “only” 10 early voting days instead of the previous 15 days (16 states don’t have any early voting at all, nor did Florida before 2004), Brown claims that African-American voters specifically will be MORE “disenfranchised” by the changes than any other voters: While offering no supporting evidence, Brown said, “Early voting has worked extremely well for all Floridians and especially for African American voters. In fact, more than any other racial or ethnic group, African Americans have come to rely on early voting.” Anything to gin up the base in a swing state. More here.
