(34,189 posts)And there was no effort I saw to help voters check to see if their names had been purged or if the voters had the needed IDs so that they could vote.
Maybe it was because Florida had stopped purging voters after a lawsuit, but still, people need their photo ID to vote and have needed them since 2004 - and the Democratic Party has done NOTHING to change that law or to educate voters about getting their IDS.
I did miss the last week of the campaign since I was not in the state but from what I heard before I left and after Election Day not much was done here to get people to the polls. In this county, heavily Democratic with an excellent supervisor of elections that does his own GOTV efforts, maybe the Clinton campaign didn't think it was needed. (Leon County had over 75% turnout and went almost 60% for Clinton. http://enr.electionsfl.org/LEO/Summary/1601/)
