SB 90, Florida's voter suppression law, was passed by the Republican legislature, immediately signed by the Governor, and is currently being challenged in court. It requires an ID on the Vote By Mail request form, limits the hours when you can deposit your Vote By Mail ballot, and limits who can deposit your Vote By Mail ballot on your behalf. But it can't stop Democrats from voting. Vote By Mail is still the best option to ensure your vote counts. Sign up for Vote By Mail now and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same.
