Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis calls for 'voting integrity unit' in Florida as Biden presses Congress
The Florida legislature must create a new law enforcement entity aimed at voter fraud and tighten voting laws, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida declared on Tuesday.
"To ensure that elections are conducted in accordance with the rule of law, I have proposed an election integrity unit whose sole focus will be the enforcement of Florida's election laws," DeSantis said during his 2022 State of the State Address before the legislature. "This will facilitate the faithful enforcement of election laws and will provide Floridians with the confidence that their vote will count.
His comments, which kick off the 60-day session for Florida lawmakers to pass a budget and pass new laws, came as President Joe Biden prepared to deliver a speech in Georgia to urge Democrats in Congress to abolish the filibuster so they could increase access to voting.
The comments are similar to those of many high-profile Republicans. DeSantis, who is up for re-election this year in Florida, is a favorite — if undeclared — 2024 Republican presidential candidate if former President Donald Trump doesn't run. DeSantis' proposals have often taken direct aim at the Biden administration.
