State lawmakers in Florida are being slammed for a "downright authoritarian" bill introduced to the legislature that would ban the state's Democratic Party under the ostensible pretence of disenfranchising political parties that supported slavery in their national platforms.
The bill, called "The Ultimate Cancel Act," was filed on Tuesday by GOP state Senator Blaise Ingoglia, and would require the state's Division of Elections to "immediately cancel" any filings originating from a political party whose platform "previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude."
