Legislature gives DeSantis new election police to target voter fraud in Florida
Florida Republicans handed Gov. Ron DeSantis another legislative victory on Wednesday when they approved creating a stand-alone election police force designed to crack down on voter fraud.
DeSantis proposed the special unit to tackle election crimes as he came under pressure from some Republicans to do a full-blown audit of the 2020 election even though former President Donald Trump had little trouble winning Florida and there were no widespread issues with fraudulent voting.
"We're very excited and thank the legislature for delivering on Governor DeSantis’ election security initiative. The legislature carried out our goal of making it easier to vote and harder to cheat," said Taryn Fenske, a spokesperson for DeSantis.
Lawmakers watered down the final bill — which cleared the House and Senate largely along party lines and heads next to the governor’s desk — from its initial incarnation after local election officials called it a “recipe for disaster.”
