Are the laws submitted by Desantis "voter suppression" or common sense?

1 Answer

Answer :

“1. This bill “would ban vote-by-mail ballots from being sent out to all residents, making it so only voters who request a ballot would receive one.” Th bill would require a voter request each year, which, I think is a bit onerous.” – Is it “all residents” or all voters? – Seems to me they should be sent to all registered voters, without needing to request each one. “2. Another bill requires that “residents should either mail their absentee ballot or drop it off at an election office.”, instead of using a ballot box.” – Seems to me that’s designed to make it harder to vote. Other states have managed to put ballot boxes in convenient conspicuous places with no reason not to do that. I don’t know the details of point 3, which seems unclearly worded.
