Florida Republicans Push Strict Proof-of-Citizenship Voting Bill Forward to Governor DeSantis' Desk

Florida Republicans have sent a voting bill to Gov. Ron DeSantis' desk that requires voters to provide proof of citizenship at the polls, mirroring the federal SAVE America Act championed by President Donald Trump. The measure is part of a broader elections overhaul aimed at increasing voter verification and reducing election fraud concerns. Backers say the change will protect against ineligible voting, while critics warn it could disenfranchise eligible citizens. The bill has sparked controversy in Florida politics with some Democrats opposing the strict ID requirements.
