Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proposal for
special police force dedicated to investigating voter fraudwhich is incredibly rare and has no significant impact on election outcomeswas approved Wednesday by state lawmakers.
Democrats say there is no need for the force and that it could be turned into a partisan weapon and weaken public confidence in election integrity.
What bills like this do is say theres a problem with our elections system that were trying to solve, said Rep. Fentrice Driskell said during the House debate, according to the Associated Press. It perpetuates this concept that they shouldnt be able to trust what happens in government. This is a monster that will eat us alive if we let it.
The Senate previously approved the bill, which now heads to DeSantis desk.
