  • Written Testimony Before the U.S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Elections of the Committee on House Administration
    Written Testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Elections of the Committee on House Administration Hearing Entitled “Voting Rights and Election Administration in Florida” Mayor Andrew D. Gillum Former Mayor, Tallahassee, Florida May 6, 2019 Chairwoman Fudge and distinguished Members, it is an honor to appear before you today at this important hearing on the basic principle which serves as the foundation for our entire Democracy—voting. I want to start by applauding the 116th Congress for passing HR1- a sweeping reform bill that works to increase access to voting and transparency in our process. In 2018, we saw a record number of Floridians use their voice at the ballot box. In a non- presidential election year, 8.2 million people cast their vote - almost 2 million more than projected. In 2018 African American voters increased their participation by almost 150% over 2014 and Hispanic voters increased by nearly 97% over 2014. Historic turnout. Florida voters also voted to pass Amendment 4 - restoring voting rights to formerly incarcerated citizens and making Florida a forgiving state, one that believes in second chances and does not judge its’ citizens by their worst day. We should all be proud of these victories, but the 2018 elections in Florida also displayed some inequities that still exist in our electoral system. Out of 8.2 million votes cast, 83,000, or 1%, were deemed “invalid”1. In a state where elections are often decided by 1% or less, this margin can change the outcome of an entire election. By way of background, the reasons for a ballot to be marked “invalid” include: • Vote by mail (VBM): ballots mailed well ahead of the Nov.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Florida State University Law Review by an authorized editor of Scholarship Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. THE FLORIDA ELECTION CAMPAIGN FINANCING ACT: A BOLD APPROACH TO PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTIONS CHRIS HAUGHEE* Florida's explosive population growth and the changing ways of life in this urban state have created problems in the political process just as troubling as the substantive problems of the envi- ronment, social services, and criminal justice. After all, these substantive issues can only be addressed by consensus solutions if the political process itself has integrity. In this Article, the author reviews the history of modern campaign reforms in Flor- ida and other jurisdictions, then examines the new system for public financing of statewide elections in Florida. He concludes that, despite the good intentions of the legislature, the utimate success or failure of the program will depend upon its accept- ance by all players in the electoral process.
