Show Notes
Floridas new voting law, House Bill 991, mandates proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration, effective January 1, 2027. The bill also introduces paper ballots, lists legal status on drivers licenses, requires candidates to disclose dual citizenship and stock trading plans, and disallows student IDs at polls. Voting rights groups have filed a federal lawsuit, claiming it will disenfranchise eligible voters. Governor DeSantis defends the law, stating student IDs dont prove residency. Florida has been adjusting election laws annually since 2020, following fraud claims in the presidential race. Last year, they flagged 198 likely non-citizens out of 13 million voters. Meanwhile, President Trumps executive order for a national voter list and mail-in curbs adds to the ongoing election battles, with courts expected to play a significant role.
