Organizations are being forced to shift their strategies but say they aren't backing off registration efforts.
The rematch between President Biden and former President Trump — along with control of the Senate — could hinge on a small number of votes, making turnout critical, especially in swing states.
Florida has cracked down on canvassers over where and when they can register new voters, often issuing fines against organizations, says Frankie Miranda, the Hispanic Federation's president and CEO. "This is not a normal time. This is a new way of doing voter registration and civic engagement, and we are as an organization being nimble and flexible, because we cannot be outsmarted by those who want to make sure that our community cannot get to the polls," Miranda says.In Florida, the Hispanic Federation and other groups last year sued against a new law that would increase fines for mistakes made on registration forms and ban noncitizens from registering new voters.
