Fla. Election Supervisor: Eliminating the Use of Drop Boxes for Mail-In Ballots ‘Would Be a Total, Total Mistake’

EXCERPT:

HAYES: "Well, Alisyn, the bill, as it sits right now, is just that. Several things in it that are very unkind to the voter. It creates a tremendous burden on us, the administrators of the elections. And, you know, it’s a time like this when my legislative experience does come in handy, because I realize that it’s not time to push the panic button. Let’s just everybody stay calm and recognize that while their intentions are probably good, their methods need some guidance. They need some adult supervision, if you will, from the elections professionals. And our 67 election supervisors in this state did a tremendous job last year, and so we need to have the legislators come sit down and listen to how things should be done correctly. But for us to eliminate the use of drop boxes is a total, total mistake."
