DeSantis signed an executive order on Thursday that eases voting rules for about 1 million voters in Lee, Charlotte and Sarasota counties, all areas that Hurricane Ian hit hard and that all reliably vote Republican.


Meanwhile, Orange county, a Democratic-leaning area which experienced historic flooding from the storm, received no voting exceptions, reported the Washington Post.

The accommodations include extended early voting days and the ability for voters to send mail-in ballots from addresses not listed in voting records.


Voting rights groups had previously asked the governor to extend the statewide voting registration deadline, which ended on Tuesday, and to add more early voting days, as well as implement other accommodations.

DeSantis complied – but only for the three Republican counties.

“Tens of thousands of Floridians have been displaced, and today’s executive order fails to meet the moment and ensure voting access for all Florida voters,” said Jasmine Burney-Clark, founder of voter rights organization Equal Ground, in a statement. “Instead, Governor DeSantis is politicizing a natural disaster.”



Extended early voting hours

Mail in ballots with no verifiable addresses

But only in Republican counties

Imagine that

Large portions of Florida were affected by the hurricane last month, but only a few were really hit hard within a small geographic area.

Up in Clearwater Beach, for example, its business as usual at Hogan's Hangout.

mmm ... seems all the well practiced corrupt left wing voting advocates/organizations would like the opportunity to manufacture votes across all the counties in Florida.

I'd trust De Santis on this ...

Well folks, as most know Skews works hard to skew the facts.
“At the request of the Supervisors of Elections in Charlotte, Lee, and Sarasota counties, and at the recommendation of Secretary of State Cord Byrd, the Governor signed Executive Order 22-234, which will help ensure adequate access to Florida’s 2022 General Election ballot for the voters of Charlotte, Lee, and Sarasota counties.”

“Obstacles reported by the Supervisors of Elections in Charlotte, Lee, and Sarasota counties include, but are not limited to, damage to polling locations and early voting sites, extended utility and telecommunications service disruptions, poll worker unavailability, and displaced voters.”

Hello there.

Care to explain why Republicans are in favor of mail-in-ballots now, or would you rather just piss and moan about something else? I’m guessing the latter.

This is about- DeSantis signing an executive order for most damaged areas: Lee, Charlotte and Sarasota counties and the OP claiming it was political bias

Nothing I could say would matter, Trollboi.

Because of a category 4 hurricane that destroyed entire counties?
