Charlie Crist Camp Fires Back Over UF Voting Controversy

Submitted by Anonymous on February 14, 2014 - 11:45am

Former Gov. Charlie Crist has a new campaign ad -- this time, talking about "voter suppression" at the University of Florida.

Over the last few weeks, Democrats have been accusing Gov. Rick Scott's administration of voter suppression because his elections agency ruled that the University of Florida student union does not fit the legal definition of an early voting site.

"I don't understand really what's happening here with Rick Scott's administration and why they're not letting you vote on campus," said Crist to a group of students. "It seems to me that in a democracy, people ought to have the right to vote."

In the ad, Crist poses for photos with students and urges them to "call [Gov. Scott] out on [the controversy.]"
