Quote of the Day - Voter Suppression or Florida law?

Democrats are going nuts and now have another decision to distort--

The Reitz Union is a structure designed for, and affiliated with, a specific educational institution ...The terms 'convention center' and 'government-owned community center' cannot be construed so broadly as to include the Reitz Union."

~ Division of Elections director Maria Matthews with the State of Florida, regarding early voting being disallowed at the UofF Reitz Student Union Hall.

The Reitz Union is government-owned, as the University of Florida is a public institution founded and funded by the state of Florida. The Reitz Union is also (a) community center, obviously. There is no ambiguity in the statute, nor is there any in the public nature or purpose of the Reitz Union. The statute is crystal clear, straightforward and with no room for misinterpretation. As a member of the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee that formulated this bill, I ask that you immediately re-evaluate your unlawful decision to not allow voting at the Reitz Union..."
