G. K. Butterfield: “Once again, the administration has shown how out of touch it is with most Americans.”

The ability to cast a ballot free of undue burden and discrimination is the cornerstone of our participatory democracy.

We took the case into Federal court, and the lower Federal courts ruled in our favor and ruled that the State legislature engaged in partisan gerrymandering and that it was a violation of the Federal Constitution.

Floridians deserve free and fair elections, not more restrictions on access to the ballot.

Unfortunately, the High Court decided that political gerrymandering is not protected by the Federal Constitution.
