Ocala Sen. Dennis Baxley calls the bill guardrails against potential problems.
State Sen. Dennis Baxley amended his controversial elections bill – SB 90 – on Wednesday at a meeting of the Rules Committee.
It allows drop boxes now at some locations for limited hours and requires a pen-to-paper signature a so-called “wet” signature for voter verification. It also outlaws giving anything including food or water to people within 150 feet of a polling place.
The Ocala Republican presents the bill which also restricts vote-by-mail requests as a way to secure the ballot and build voter confidence following a successful election in 2020.
Baxley calls it “guardrails” against potential problems.
