No governor can remove your voting rights. People didn't die in vain for this basic American right. It didn't work for George Wallace, and it won't work for Rick Scott.

Scott is stripping people off the roles - using arbitrary discriminatory indicators such as race, voting party, address - then demanding they prove they are citizens to get back on. That's illegal. They are already legally registered voters.

He is doing it within 60 days of an election. That is also illegal.

The Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Acts were passed in 1964 and 1965, and they still stand as the law of this country. No matter how much somebody hates brown people.
