DeSantis touts efforts to crackdown on election crimes

cross-posted from: https://exploding-heads.com/post/197717

Last year, DeSantis signed a bill into law creating a division in the Department of State that will investigate election crimes and voter fraud in Florida.

The law also increased penalties for ballot collection, also known as ballot harvesting. Ballot harvesting is when people collect and turn in individual voters’ completed election ballots. Under the new law, ballot harvesting is a third degree penalty.

The law also requires the voter rolls be updated with accurate information every year.
