Trump won Florida in 2020, but that hasn't stopped Republicans from pursuing a spate of election-related bills. Many of the bills under consideration target mail voting and drop boxes, a longstanding method for voters to return ballots that the former president attacked without evidence as inherently fraudulent. Florida Gov.
is 44 pages long and contains a number of other election restrictions. It would require voters to request mail ballots more frequently, add more identification requirements for mail voting, and limit how drop boxes are used. Introducing the bill last week, Ingoglia said that Florida's 2020 election was a success but that the system could still be improved.
“We should never rest on our laurels and we should never pass up an opportunity to make a good thing better,” he said.
NO states should be able to prevent human kindness. Looking at YOU NYSBOE.
People need to read, political parties can't give it out. Get the facts straight. Plus multiple voting days available you should not be waiting for the last minute to vote and if so bring a drink. Hello it's called common sense people. Get over the race card we are all Americans.
The final, desperate attempts of a fatally wounded political party which has been hijacked by their toxic factions. Racists, fascists and bigots will no longer shape the future of this country.
Hateful.
It should be a crime, if you have to stand in line for over an hour to vote in America.
Can they also make it illegal for anyone who ever supported Donald Trump to be anywhere near a voting center!
I hope they do! Please stir US up, motivate US, to get out and vote the GOP out of office!
Beware! The Republican Party is trying to turn the United States into a Dictatorship!!!!!
I will be happy to bring anyone food or water to those doing their Democratic duty even if this law passes. Rep or Dem. Remember who you’re voting for in Florida Nov-8-2022. Remember who voted you in !GovRonDeSantis FLSenate SmithForFL7 FlaDems FLGOPMajority
Republicans are UnAmerican, anti-democracy and the enemy of the constitution
Why?
As always this water stuff is always meant to hide the more destructive parts of the bill
So called Republicans are getting desperate
Well I guess no voters would turn out
This whole country is insane.
How about democratic KoolAid?
So what?
Good. Bribes are illegal.
Even Lindsey Graham said this is weird. And it is
101 feet is ok
America's biggest problem is the Republicans. The easiest way to fix this problem is by terminating the Republicans. No Republicans is how you make America great again.
Vote out every republican, every office, every time
How ridiculous can these people be? And how obvious? F'ing rednecks!!
In my Lifetime I never heard of a Politician in America trying to take away our democracy! That is what the Republicans are trying to do Today all across the Country!
Then get the damn lines down and stop closing polling stations in sections of the voting areas where people of color vote. Get rid of the filibuster and all this bs goes away
ashtonpittman Hard to see how these bills would survive the courts.
The states doing this are opening themselves up to lawsuits that they will indeed lose.
Sick people. Vote them out!!
This is really sick. I thought the Republicans didn’t believe in government control ? It’s a crime to offer water. I live in Arizona. I carry extra sealed bottles for other. Anti Christian, communist for sure. Putin’s party
What about Air , are they allowed to breathe?
Pathetic Florida.....
When you know ur People are hungry, but still look for ways to deny Them food. We just sit back, and let THIS happen
PrestonWilson44 Seriously what are they thinking?
Note: GOP has created situations where Blacks face longest waiting times to vote. Banning food & water makes their broader strategy work. unpatriotic racist GOP
No worries next time it will not be delivered. It is going to be part of the voting site, all types of goodies for you to get an ulcer getting mad about it and since we know the GOP love our tacos and beans soup cheap we will have some to go.
You don't go to eat at polling areas. If you know you have low blood sugar, carry something. If you can't stay without water for a few hours, CARRY SOME. Leftists use this pretense of food and water to influence voting.
So provide the food 152 feet from the polling places.
VoteOutEveryRepublican
I think it is more efficient to have only the Republicans vote .. sure win
Maybe they should make it a crime to be a Republican.
If they fix things to make sure people don’t have to wait that long to vote, the voters won’t need the fucking water. I mean, is it a democracy or not?
Eat and drink before going to the polls and carry your own water bottle. Simple as that. You won't die that easily
Then do it a 150’ you idiots. Why is it important to have a vaccine card but voterID is wrong. C’Mon Man as JoeBiden lies to say. VoterIDNow
This is craziness vote all of them out!!!
Half of americans are idiots
The BIGGEST Lie of 2021! This story is a total joke. Really, if I were informed, I’d still be insulted that anyone would believe this. Shame
Soon, voters will be required to walk across burning coals in order to vote.
Of course
This is how I feel about Florida at this point we gotta cut them loose!!!!
This is ridiculous. Some of these lines are as long as amusement park ride lines. Even they have concessions at some point so that people don't suffer. And this is 2021 and they are still trying to suppress people.
Election Day should be a national holiday!
Why not make Florida voters crawl the last 150 feet to prove how badly they want to vote?
Of course they are....
Good
Another deflection,while introducing further voter restrictions.
There’s way too much stupid going around
stevelackmeyer We will be there with water: 152 feet away...
These bills sound like the work of far right ALEC.
wolfjon4 Ok so let’s mark a line 151 ft from the entrance. From past pics I’ve seen the lines are way longer. Everyone gets a water at the 152 foot mark.
Jim Crow South on the advance. Disgusting.
BoycottGeorgia BoycottFlorida
My wife and I wait 3 hours in line to vote. Why would giving water be a problem?
I don’t get political often but I honestly don’t hate this. The campaign people on all sides were hella annoying and pushy this election. I just wanna vote in peace and not be harassed
Of course, why make it easy for minorities to vote?
You don’t get food or water when you go to the DMV or state office for food stamps. Why should politicians be able to hand out favors at voting stations? If you need provisions, BRING YOUR OWN!
I think that's the way it should be!!!!!
I missed the outrage of the lack of water provided to those waiting in line for the Covid vaccine. If folks can stand in line, have ID ready for vaccine, then they could do the same for voting. Get real folks.
Mike Bloomberg, Bill Gates maybe you all can help giving out fanny pack coolers with water 200 feet away from voting areas with expected long lines. Add a cool slogan: Democrats for refreshment!
Its funny because PA republicans did all they could to try to stack things against DEM voters, and it bit them in the ass. Every voting cycle they over react and get tripped up.
Could Florida get any worse?
JoshMankiewicz Who thinks of this nonsense?
So Florida hasn't adopted gun laws in wake of Parkland Shooting in school but they pushing for voting laws in wake of fake election fraud not proven by court? Is that correct?
I genuinely no longer understand why anyone with a heart would call themselves a Republican anymore.
No American should receive an inducement to Vote KeepAmericaAmerica
Then make people wait for more than an hour. Diabetes and seniors with no food or water isn’t going to end well
I CANNOT WAIT- to see the tail gate BBQ buffets lined up outside polling stations for miles and miles. Humanity is clearly better than both its politicians and their laws!
Then, there’s Australia who is way ahead of the game in life.
Go ahead jerks we will make sure this is your last attack on the voters. We will turn this state Blue.
But bet they can open carry a gun, right?
Florida Republicans can fuck off...there , i said it.
So vaccine passports are bad but this is fine? Republicans are satanic. Also I'd rather have neither.
Are we that soft that we need food/water while in line to vote-we shouldn’t be Should it be a crime to give voters food/drink-No Aren’t there more important crimes that need attention? Yes!
I am just going to keep posting this one
Florida Republicans are suppressing our rights to vote. Florida Republicans are complicit in the 35,715. COVID 19 deaths & over 2 million cases!
Why do you need food or water given to you? Are you not adults that know how to bring something with you if line is long? Funny how these voter id laws are racist but anything else that takes a id isnt racist.
Lol
Why the hell is this a thing? I never saw anything like this anytime I voted!
They're pathetic
you know, the 'crime' is that we continue to let these mf's be 'in charge' of us
MiamiHerald America has to fear the threat. It's not communism or socialism, it the Republicans.
I'm ashamed to tell people here in California I was born and educated in FL. I add that I have been here in Cali 34 years.... but it is sad what has happened to FL.
So wait Georgia takes a ridiculous stand against democracy and then Florida says 'hold my beer', really? I can't even imagine how stupid the US looks to the rest of the free world at this point...
'I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink.'* - Matthew 25:35 *Offer not valid in Georgia.
What an absolute waste of time - No one is campaigning they are just trying to be good people
These laws can't possibly pass legal muster!
KKK feeling themselves right now. Phuck them all.
Air conditioning is next 🤣
It’s time to replace this with DC. Like if you agree.
Hydrated voters are the reason trump lost?
That will stop people from voting.😉Remember Republicans have to vote too, idiots!
Total State Boycott!
Sick.
What is wrong with these Red states? 🤦♀️
Why not
Ok folks...We have to figure out how the hell we can distance ourselves from the GOP Oh, that’s right... VOTE.
WTF? This is total BS! This racist, anti-democratic, anti-American bullish** must STOP! VOTER suppression is anti-American!
Is it allowed to BYO
Republicans getting too old and should all be retired. Time for them to go. They’re not lending wisdom and effect anymore, they’re only holding on to old malodorous ideas and influence.
The New Jim Crow! (Because whites don't actually eat or drink)
Running scared again.
Stop voters suppression and Republicans from stopping people freedom to eat food . Is this Russia? Voters rights are being attacked and people need to strike no teachers no garbage pick up close factories. Strike for right to vote with more options not less.
Man the desperation of the GOP (grand obstructionist party)
part of the reason for these inhumane laws must be to force more people to vote by mail so dejoy can sabotage and destroy the dem ballots...
This just in: Democrats spin ElectionIntegrity laws designed to prohibit any gifts to sway votes as 'votersuppression'. Let's not forget QuidProQuoJoe BeijingBiden with his KKK senator friend, YouAintBlackIfYouVoteForTrump dems' JimCrow & Segregation laws, civil slavery
What? Are they afraid pizza sauce might get on the ballots? How stupid.
It’s as good as done😡😡😡
Let make having to wait in a line to vote illegal instead.
Don't Republican lawmakers consider that Republican voters are also affected by these draconian laws and may avoid voting or go home because it's too difficult? And these laws are opposed by most Republicans according to polls.
..these redneck states are becoming more and more communistic..come next election vote all these Commies out of office and get our democracy back..EVERY VOTE MATTERS!..
Can a person bring something to drink with them?
As soon as someone dies of heat exhaustion in line, there will be a lawsuit. It will eventually go to the Supreme Court, where they will rule in favor of the deceased and the law will be changed.
I didn't know mama Africa will be an example to uncle Sam. Si ni laifu lakini?
I don’t understand who votes for these Republicans. They are horrible people.
Time to make a an entertainment zone 151 feet away...call it Club 151!
Typical career politician. You people voted for your taxes going up....bunch of idiots. 'Biden to lay out tax-increase plan to fund infrastructure bill this week, The president could propose as much as $3 trillion in new tax hikes this week'
Why are Republican Americans so in love with fascism? History shows us hiding behind bully boys never ends well. The whole world saw an American citizen executed in the street just like Naxi Germany.
What is wrong with people! That is ridiculous! Voter is fine. I have always had to show my I’d
Arizona up next, watch. This is RIDICULOUS. This is nothing but to deter voters from going out waiting in line to vote, period. votersuppression
Dumbasses ! If I had the transportation I would gladly go to Florida and go to jail giving out the water and food.
Then just hand out water and food 160 feet from the polling place. Stupid law.
I hate Disney anyway!
DeathSantis is more than likely doing this. RemoveRon
The GOP way to win......voter suppression and cruelty.
NurseNinaPA This must be stopped! Florida, you agree this must be stopped, right?
Even Republicans are overwhelmingly against this draconian law. Republican voters are affected also since they need water and food when stranded in long voting lines.
As a Florida resident I am surprised the legislature just didn’t suggest being a Democrat punishable by death. This is the mentality of Florida Republicans in power!
Ok. It's quickly becoming obvious that if you vote Republican you are and endorse racism. Period. I've never seen any party so quickly and obviously fall. And they will fall. I predict the next decade to be very much run by Democrats.
Just stay 160 feet away and it’s legal
