A new Florida bill paves the way for Ron DeSantis to run against Donald Trump without resigning, adds rules for third-party registration groups and adds rules to keep voter rolls up to date. Trump said this bill “guts everything,” but that’s wrong.
Trump, a Florida voter, suggested that his beef with the bill isn’t the provision that allows DeSantis to run for president without resigning. Trump said he"couldn’t care less" if DeSantis runs."Instead of getting tough, and doing what the people want this Bill guts everything," Trump said April 30 on, days after the bill passed both chambers of the Florida Legislature with Republican support.
DeSantis, who has touted his efforts to detect the rare instances of voter fraud, is expected to sign the 96-page elections bill,Although the bill does not deliver all of what Trump wants, we found no evidence that it removes existing laws that help Florida deliver secure elections. Trump’s post made it sound as if leaders removed protections the state has long had, such as requiring paper ballots and voter ID.
"This does not gut anything at all," said J.C. Planas, a Florida election lawyer and former Republican state legislator, who is now a Democrat.Florida already has many of the provisions Trump mentioned, and they were unaffected by the new law.Floridians requesting a mail ballot also must provideFloridians use
