Florida elections supervisors say new law would make voting harder
Orlando Sentinel 5/3/2021 Steven Lemongello, Orlando Sentinel
The president of the Florida Supervisors of Elections called the election bill passed by the GOP-controlled Legislature late Thursday “unnecessary” and argued it would only make voting harder.
The bill, which would increase restrictions on drop boxes, require voters to sign up for mail-in ballots every year, and carry greater ID and signature restrictions, has been slightly watered down from the original proposed version, which would have banned all drop boxes. Gov. Ron DeSantis has said he would sign the bill.
Elections supervisors from both parties attacked it, with Republican Lake County supervisor Alan Hays telling legislators it was a “travesty” that would play “havoc with the lives of 1.5 million Floridians.”
