During a discussion in the Florida Senate last week on the controversial elections bill that, among its other features would reduce early voting in Florida from 14 days to eight, Bradenton Republican state Senator Mike Bennett said he was proud to make it harder for Floridians to vote.

The Senator said, "I have to tell you: I don't have a problem making it harder. I want people in Florida to want to vote as bad as that person in Africa who walks 200 miles across the desert. This should not be easy. This should be something you should do with passion."
