Last night, I trained to register voters in the Sunshine State and then signed an affidavit attesting to the accuracy of the personal identifying information I provided. The affidavit, a new Florida State requirement for people who want to register citizens so they can exercise their Constitutionally guaranteed right to vote, spells out the penalties if I mess up this process: big dollar fines and/or jail. While this is far from fighting in the Resistance during WWII, registering voters in Florida these days does produce a frisson of danger. Keep the bail money handy. I'm In!
