Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Signs Bill to Safeguard the Sanctity of Florida Elections

FL.Gov:

Florida Leads on Election Integrity and Transparency.

West Palm Beach, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law Senate Bill 90, Florida’s new election integrity bill, strengthening voter identification, prohibiting the mass mailing of ballots, banning ballot harvesting and prohibiting private money from administering elections in our state.

“Florida took action this legislative session to increase transparency and strengthen the security of our elections,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Floridians can rest assured that our state will remain a leader in ballot integrity. Elections should be free and fair, and these changes will ensure this continues to be the case in the Sunshine State. I’d like to thank our legislative leaders on this issue – Senate President Wilton Simpson, House Speaker Chris Sprowls, Senator Dennis Baxley, and Representative Blaise Ingoglia.”

“Florida leads the nation in election reforms because the Florida Legislature and Governor have taken a proactive approach to review and address any election issues,” said Senate President Wilton Simpson. “Safeguarding and maintaining the integrity of our elections is important to all of us. We all lose when people have no confidence in the integrity of an election. That’s what we want to avoid. We don’t want to backslide. Florida was a model for the nation in November, and that is something we can all take pride in. With this legislation, we are codifying provisions of the Governor’s executive order that were largely credited as a reason Florida’s 2020 general election went so smoothly, and why results were available much quicker in Florida than in many other states. I appreciate the Governor’s leadership on this important issue.”

“Floridians have more options to cast their ballot than ever before. With that variety must come assurance of security, accountability, and transparency,” said House Speaker Chris Sprowls. “The bill Governor DeSantis signed today will protect our election procedures and provide voters with confidence that our elections will remain accessible, efficient, and secure. The right to vote should never be taken for granted, and we must always strive to improve the processes that establish the foundation of our democracy.” more

  1. Hoping that State rights can make a difference in national government. Just because a state is okay it’s still screwed with Joey Cringe in illegitimate office.

  2. Federal DOJ will try to block this law for being racist. But they will wait until just before the midterms, get an Obama-appointed judge to issue an injunction, and it won’t see a courtroom until after the elections are over. I’ve seen this movie before.

  3. Just got Gov. Ron DeSantis “Florida Firewall” fundraising letter today. The future election machine is moving forward! I think Marco Rubio will need higher lifts on his heels to get into the running for 2024. Should be interesting with Kristi Noem taking the dance floor along with 2-ton Chris Christie, lightfoot Marco then Donald doing his Y-M-C-A rallies! Hold onto yer hats especially if its a big fur hat!

  4. I just can’t see the Trump/DeSantis ticket happening.

    I’d love it but I think DeSantis/???? 2024 is more likely.
    DeSantis gets re-elected governor in 2022, has until Jan 2025 to secure Florida for his Lt. Gov.

    Trump exposed the swamp and was like the first responder going into the burning building.
    He took on heavy fire and was wounded.
    DeSantis will learn from Trump, fire everyone on DAY 1 and go from there…
