In a democracy undermined by voter suppression, we should not put too much faith in a broken electoral process or buy into the seductive illusion of voter choice.
This week the Florida Supreme Court made two significant rulings on abortion in the state.

In a separate ruling, the court granted Florida voters the opportunity to vote on a November referendum aimed at safeguarding access to abortion.
'Former President Donald Trump and other GOP leaders agree, and since the Supreme Court's ruling in Shelby County v. Holder that gutted the Voting Rights Act, we have seen conservative state governments throughout the country chipping away at voting rights through the strategy known as 'radical incrementalism'–the same strategic approach that was eventually successful in overturning Roe v. Wade.
