Florida lawmakers showed their willingness to crack down on third-party organizations who break the law when registering voters — and in response, the groups have significantly slimmed down their operations in the Sunshine State, according to a report from WUSF.
Florida’s legislature passed SB 7050 in 2023. The law increased fines on third-party voter registration groups who deliver a registration application after the deadline, return incorrectly filled out registration forms, alter a voter’s registration form, or deliver applications to the wrong counties. The law also prohibited third-party groups from pre-filling registration forms and harvesting voters’ data from their registration forms. Additionally, it barred illegal aliens and other foreign citizens from collecting voter registration forms, though that portion of the law was struck down in March by an Obama-appointee.
Fines are capped at $250,000 per year.
Since the legislation went into effect, counties have seen a “dramatic reduction” in the number of registrations returned, according to WUSF. Left-leaning Leon County saw voter registration applications go from 10,000 in 2021 and 2022 to just six since last year, according to the report.

Imagine that.
10,000 down to 6. Definitely not a productive year for the cheaters in Florida.
And Biden’s handler’s had him claim that Florida is in play. Doesn’t sound like they can muster enough fraud this year.
That won’t stop them.
I beg to disagree. Consequences are an effective deterent.
The only consequences that have been upped is in Florida. There’s many more states they’ll cheat in.
Excellent. Why haven’t all states enacted the same measures?
Well, we all know why democrat controlled states have not, but what about other Republican controlled states?
“Consequences are an effective deterrent.”
Yep. It’s something that’s sorely lacking in today’s world.
I wish more states would follow Florida’s lead.
All it takes is a good state legislature and a Guv who will sign the bill. Too few and far between the two nowadays apparently.
Every red state - and especially swing states - needs similar legislation.
And suddenly, these groups aren’t willing to put themselves at risk by submitting fraudulent voter registrations and ballots. Who would have thought?

Women and minorities hurt hardest...
Florida just got redder.
Kudos to Florida’s governor and state legislature. I like Desantis.
Florida is a red state.
In Texas the drunk RINO Dade Phelan prevented the AG from doing his job.
