Florida enacts restrictive voter ID law as Trump’s Save Act flounders in US Senate

Florida is third state to pass proof-of-citizenship voting laws this year as red states enact provisions of federal bill

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida signed legislation Wednesday to require documented proof of citizenship to register to vote and to begin a process that will eventually unenroll voters who have not provided citizenship documentation.

Florida is now the third state to pass proof-of-citizenship laws for voting this year, after South Dakota and Utah’s governors each signed proof of citizenship bills into law in March.
