Since the 2020 general election, voter and ballot fraud has been in the news quite a bit. Many states are doing nothing to change the rules that yielded a truly suspicious outcome nationwide. Florida is one exception.
The state legislature passed a bill meant to fight election fraud from a number of angles and on Tuesday, Governor Ron DeSantis signed it.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Monday creating a state police unit that will specialize in election-related crimes.
The law establishes the Office of Election Crimes and Security, which will have 15 members whose work will include preliminary investigations of election fraud. DeSantis must also appoint up to ten law enforcement officers to investigate election crimes with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
The law also makes ballot harvesting a felony instead of a misdemeanor and raises fines on organizations that violate election laws from $1,000 to $50,000.
Ballot harvesting being a misdemeanor is a scandal in and of itself and now that that has been rectified, the people of Florida should rejoice.
“Some of them may not care as much about the election stuff. I think it’s been mixed at how those reactions are going to be,” DeSantis said. “So we just want to make sure whatever laws are on the books, that those laws are enforced.”
The governor also touted Florida’s record in election security.
“I don’t think there is any other place in the country where you should have more confidence that your vote counts than in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said.
There are those who are unhappy about this move.
“DeSantis’ so-called election reform legislation is a continued attack by the Republican Party to generate public distrust in the integrity of our elections,” Democratic state representative Tracie Davis said in a statement.
Given all the video evidence of cheating in the 2020 election that made the rounds online, public distrust is pretty much gone at this point.

Florida is showing the rest of the world the way to true democracy. Now we have to see if the deep state can be corraled enough to implement the changes.
