| | | Why did FL just change its law to prohibit the use of private funds to bankroll elections?
You need not be reminded, I'm sure, this change was made to the law in the state having the most effective voting operation in the country. By a mile.
"The new law requires each elections supervisor to provide live voter turnout data, updated at least once every hour, and making it available on the supervisor’s website and providing it to the Division of Elections. It also allows for each political party and candidate to identify a watcher who must be allowed to view, either directly or on a display screen, ballots that are being examined by the Board of Canvassers for signature matching or other purposes. It spells out procedures for candidates and parties to challenge damaged or under-counted ballots."
"No agency or state or local official responsible for conducting elections, including, but not limited to, a supervisor of elections, may solicit, accept, use, or dispose of any donation in the form of money, grants, property, or personal services from an individual or a nongovernmental entity for the purpose of funding election-related expenses or voter education, voter outreach, or registration programs," the legislation read. |
