Florida Governor Signs Bill Restricting Voting Rights
HuffPost
Republican Ron DeSantis signed into law legislation that significantly restricts voter access to mail-in ballots and drop boxes.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday signed into law a set of provisions that follows Georgia’s lead in restricting voting rights. The new law comes after the Republican-led Florida Legislature passed SB90, which includes several voter suppression initiatives. The state Senate voted mostly along party lines to approve the bill, and the House then passed its amended version, also along party lines. The final version of the bill was then sent to the Republican governor, who advocated for the legislation before it even arrived on his desk. The bill criminalizes giving food and water to voters in line, requires voters to show identification before casting their ballot and allows partisan poll-watchers during ballot counting to challenge every ballot to which they have a “reasonable objection.”
