Parolee Voting
SB 83 is an election reform bill that also would allow people on parole to vote.
SB 83 will be voted on in the full Senate tomorrow (Weds)
AND the PAROLEE VOTING PROVISION IS IN TROUBLE.
Due to pressure from some county clerks, three Democratic Senators
have changed their vote and are no longer supporting parolee voting,
despite the fact that they have voted twice in the past to support parolee voting.
All the Republican Senators have come out in opposition to parolee voting,
so losing these three Democratic Senators means that either SB 83 will die outright
or parolee voting will be stripped out of the bill so that the rest of election reforms will pass.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
Please contact the following Senators and let them know that giving people
on parole the right to vote is important and helps people to successfully re-integrate back into society.
