Following another fierce campaign season, Florida’s election supervisor has renewed more protection for the conspiracy -oriented voting president, intimidated, and humilized public polls. 。
The supervisor presented a package of changes recommended by the Senate ethics and the election committee on Tuesday.
Lake County’s election supervisor, Alan Hayes, was a former Republican Senator, and in the county of the GOP, he told a panel that his staff was regularly abused.
“We literally had a case where they saw the election workers, they were shooting people when they were out of the office, and photographed car license plates. These are all intimidating people. Heizes, “said Heiz.
“System security” in the crisis
He added, “It is necessary to provide this kind of privacy to workers for the security of the system.”
Travis Heart, a supervisor of Lafayette County, and the state chairman of the State Supervisory, said the fear of harassment has been hurt.
In the Lake County in Heiz, the data provided to the committee has been added to the supervisor office since 2016, but the county lost about 150 election seasons. It indicates what it is.
President Trump’s name was not called at a hearing on Tuesday, but the election results and the distrust of the voting system clearly form a part of the reaction.
Florida also won 13 new election supervisors last November. A considerable number of officials have pointed out the long -standing decision -making decisions for RID laughing and false accusations.
A strong Trump county supervisor speaks
Home County Lafayette voted for Holming County’s second highest Trump, which was called “political atmosphere in the past decade”, causing election officials to become “vulnerable.”
Heart said it would be dangerous to allow public polls to access their home addresses. “If you win one, you will get the whole family,” he said.
The supervisor made the same request in 2023. This was rejected by Congress managed by Florida Republican Party.
Similar resistance seemed to surround the latest proposals -R -vero Beach member Erin Grall, doubt whether the exemption of election workers from public recorded information on Tuesday will be cloudy. I am looking at it.
“How about your reaction to the potential deficiency that exists when the average citizen cannot find a person who is transporting voting?” Do you just trust the supervisor and trust the process? “She asked.
Hayes said that voters knew the supervisor and said that it was important to “thoroughly trust the system full of checks and balanced systems.”
Hayes said that the already powerful security of the system should focus on voters, rather than looking for the name of the employee. He pointed out that despite the growing population of Florida, the registration roll of voters is decreasing.
“It’s counterproductive to what we are trying to do to encourage everyone who is qualified to vote,” he added.
Trump’s suspicious claim claims a member of the power GOP.
In the 2022 State Congress, which was prompted by Trump’s unfounded claims for the 2020 election results, voting has made a more difficult change. However, the supervisor asks a member of the parliament to dial a part of the overhaul.
The requirement that voters will renew the request for postal voting after the general election are many voters who have no hope for the January preliminary elections in the Pan Handle and the East Coast of Congress districts, from Jackson Building to Day Naving. is.
In these cases, Hayes said that voters who had not demanded another post -voting after the November election had been calling the supervisor. Instead, the supervisor has requested a member of the Diet to restore the checkbox of a voting envelope, which is simply required to be stored in a list of those who want to vote.
The parliament was more difficult to vote in Florida after Trump tried to trust the system before the 2020 election.
Trump and Republican voters voted for each voting in 2024, and 3 million Floridans voted that way. Nevertheless, almost 5.4 million states voted in early 2024. This is the most popular election in which almost 79 % of registered voters participated.
Desantis hinders the voting plan … Desantis’s proposal will derail Florida citizens’ initiative. What do lawmakers do?
Threats, etc. … Florida election officials harassed and said, “threatened in incorrect accusations of fraud,” said the US House of Representatives.
The supervisor also calls the members of the Diet to make the setup of early voting sites more flexible. In recent years, GOP has been pushing hard to limit places that can establish such places.
Another recommended change from the supervisor is that US citizens have recently updated driver license information within 30 days. This helps the supervisor maintains accurate voter list and generally reduce incorrect complaints about unwritten residents casting voting.
“Many of what we are doing is based on awareness,” said Heart. “If you can clean it, it will be useful.”
