The state of Florida is holding a special election to fill vacancies in the U.S. House of Representatives, following cabinet nominations by President Donald Trump.</p> <p><strong>Why are these special elections important?</strong> Opponents of voting rights hold a 3 seat majority — 218 to 215 —  in the House. One media report after another tells the tale — Speaker Mike Johnson is having a hard time wrangling them all to vote for his priorities, and any dent made in that majority will make it harder for them to pass bills that harm voting rights this year or next.</p> <p>It all starts with the American Confidence in Elections (ACE) Act which would nationalize voter suppression and the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would add onerous voter ID requirements, potentially disenfranchising millions of married women who changed their last names. Those bills are just the tip of the suppressive iceberg, with many in Congress looking to follow the election lies to policies that disenfranchise voters and make Trump happy.</p> <p><strong>We can stop all that with huge voter turnout in these Florida specials.</strong> But we need your help to make voters in Florida aware of these special elections, when early voting starts, how to request a new mail-in ballot, and so much more.</p> <figure class="wp-block-table"> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><em>If you’ve saved your payment information with FastAction, your donation will go through
