Election Security Legislation Process

Defend Florida seeks to train volunteers to defend the Election Integrity bills and ensure they survive committees and finally are passed into law.

Once they are passed, continued work with staffers and bureaucrats is required to fulfill the bill's intent.

Team Framework - The right volunteer in the right position - essential if we are to defeat those who resist transparency and concerned Floridians
