Florida is the latest state to adopt voter integrity reform. Here are the facts. Jessica Anderson writes:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an election integrity bill into law Thursday morning to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat. Unfortunately, the mainstream media is helping to circulate misinformation about the law, known as SB 90. Here is what you need to separate myth from fact.
Myth: Florida is trying to suppress mail-in voting.
Fact: Florida’s reforms simply make the process more uniform by strengthening ID requirements for absentee voting that already apply to in-person voting.
- These reforms would enhance voter ID requirements for mail-in ballot requests.
- Two-thirds (66%) of voters agree that applying voter ID requirements to absentee ballots, as SB 90 does, is a good way to safeguard ballot integrity.
- Research shows that voter ID doesn’t actually negatively impact turnout, despite Democrats’ false claims of voter suppression.
