WASHINGTON, DC -- Today, the Republican National Committee (RNC) and National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) moved to intervene in two ongoing lawsuits brought by left-wing Democrats against the State of Florida and the county supervisors of elections.
“Florida’s recent election reforms are aimed at a simple goal: making it easier to vote and harder to cheat,” said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. “Democrat attempts to dishonestly misrepresent these common-sense reforms are pure political theater, and Floridians see right through them. The RNC remains committed to protecting election integrity at every level of the process, no matter how many lies Democrats tell.”
“My goal has always been 100 percent participation and zero fraud,” said NRSC Chairman Rick Scott. “Since my time as Governor, Florida has enacted laws that maximize voter participation while protecting the integrity and transparency of our elections. The lawsuits being pushed by radical leftists in Florida have no basis in fact. They are part of the Democrats’ Big Lie – that any efforts to secure the integrity of our elections is racist. That is a lie and the NRSC is proud to stand with the RNC in my home state to defend this common sense law and fight back against the Democrats’ lies.”
Florida’s Senate Bill 90 was signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis in early May and includes prudent, common-sense reforms that make Florida elections more efficient. These reforms include solutions-based improvements to the voting process like more transparency on voting websites, preventing ballot harvesting, strengthening voter ID requirements, increasing security for vote-by-mail drop boxes, protecting voters from intimidation at the polls, and requiring third-party registration groups to provide voters with reasonable disclaimers. These initiatives make elections fairer and more transparent while benefiting all voters in the state.
In Florida and across the country, Republicans are united in our efforts to protect your ballot.
