| FL Dems Cry Fowl Over Chick-fil-A Voter Registration Efforts |
| 2016-09-30 |
| It's okay for Facebook to do this, though... A controversy is clucking in Pinellas County over chicken sandwiches, sweet tea and voter registration cards. The Stonewall Democrats of Pinellas County are crying foul over Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Deborah Clark's decision to hold voter registration drives at nine Chick-fil-A locations. Chick-fil-A, the fast-food chain known for putting faith ahead of profits, supports conservative causes. And we simply can't have that, can we? Susan McGrath, leader of the Stonewall Democrats and head of the Pinellas Democratic Party, said the decision to use Chick-fil-A would be similar to a Democratic supervisor of elections holding the event at Planned Parenthood. McGrath said the group supports the effort to register more voters, But she called the move partisan to hold the event at Chick-fil-A and said it might be more transparent to hold the voter drives at the Republican Party headquarters. |

| #4 They should hold voter registration drives based in gun shops - that will make the progressives' heads explode. |

| #1 I don't think Chik-fil-A demands an ideological prerequisite in order to eat there. |
