Fight unfair voting practices

The people's right to vote is being suppressed by unconscionable state laws and manipulated by moneyball gerrymandering.*

One way to fight back (from The Detail):

If you are already a registered Republican, show up on August 30th and vote. If you are not a registered Republican, register with the Republican Party by August 1st.  You can change your party affiliation back after August 30th if you choose.  Just mail in another registration form.  Local election information can be found at www.sarasotavotes.com. 

Here is the specific link for a Florida voter registration form:

Print it out and to fill it out with black ballpoint pen. You must be a US citizen and a Florida resident to register, and you must be 18 years old by August 30th to vote in the primary (you can preregister to vote at 16 or 17 years old, but you will not be able to vote until you are 18)

Mail the completed, signed form in to the Supervisor of Elections PO Box 4194 Sarasota FL 34230-4194, or
