GOP plans to create election police force in Florida, raising alarms among voting rights advocates
CBSN
As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and fellow Republicans propose the creation of a special police force to investigate election fraud, voting rights advocates are worried that the new unit could target minorities and confuse voters.
Cecile Scoon, who runs Florida's nonpartisan League of Women Voters, said the plan is designed to keep minorities from voting.
"Why should you make voting harder?" Scoon told CBS News' Senior White House and Political Correspondent Ed O'Keefe.

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
