Rep. Byron Donalds: Florida Election Law ‘Makes the Process Cleaner’

‘We’ve been the leader when it comes to election practices in this country’

EXCERPT:

DONALDS: "No, I disagree with that. What it does is it actually makes our process cleaner. One of the big things that happens is it gets rid of dollars going to these outside groups to basically create infrastructure around voting apparatuses. We already have infrastructure around voting apparatuses. That’s what our polling locations are, that’s what our supervisors of elections do. The other thing it does, it ends ballot harvesting, something that, frankly, shouldn’t be happening anywhere in the United States, let alone the great state of Florida. And it further improves on our voter ID practices in our state, where we’ve been a leader. The last thing is, you have to understand, in our state minorities have not had anybody who stopped them from voting, or decreased their ability to vote. Actually, the opposite has occurred. The share of the black vote in the state of Florida has been amongst the highest across the United States. So I don’t listen to what Common Cause and some of these outside groups say, we’ve been the leader when it comes to election practices in this country and we're going to continue to do so."
