Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis approved the establishment of a police force to crack down on election fraud.
“I don’t think there’s any other place in the country that you should have more confidence that your vote counts than in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said Monday during the bill signing, Just the News reports.
Indeed, the bill establishes an “Office of Election Crimes and Security” within Florida’s Department of State and will make use of an additional team of investigators from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
The bill will also make ballot harvesting a felony and mandate that election overseers conduct annual screens of voter rolls every year to look for voters who are no longer eligible to vote.
