The Voter & Citizenship Bill
Florida bill tightens voter ID and citizenship checks
Elections
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would make voters prove citizenship with more paperwork and let officials block registrations they think are invalid.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Every Floridian could face delays or denial to vote if their citizenship proof is questioned, so the bill could shrink the electorate and make it harder for new voters to register.
