The Florida House on March 9 approved a voting law package that, among other measures to ensure election integrity, would create a new state office dedicated to preventing, investigating, and solving election-related crimes.
The 76–41 House vote echoed the wishes of the Florida Senate, which voted in favor of the measure five days earlier. Now that 47-page bill, which has been inching its way through the Republican-controlled legislature, is one step closer to becoming law—as one of the first of its kind in the country.
