DeSantis signs sweeping elections bill revising Florida's rules for mail voting and drop boxes
CBSN
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Thursday morning signed a sweeping bill that makes several revisions to the state's election procedures, including new requirements for drop boxes and mail-in voting just months after the state saw a historic rise in voters casting their ballots by mail.
"Right now I have what we think is the strongest election integrity measures in the country," DeSantis told a cheering crowd in south Florida during a signing ceremony that aired live on Fox News. "We're proud of the strides that we've made. We're not resting on our laurels. And me signing this bill here says, 'Florida, your vote counts, your vote is going to be cast with integrity and transparency.'" The governor's office barred other media outlets from attending the signing, with a spokesperson for the governor calling it a "Fox exclusive." The event aired on "Fox & Friends," one of the most popular shows on the outlet and one frequently watched by former President Donald Trump.Billions of cicadas are emerging across about 16 states in the Southeast and Midwest. Periodical cicadas used to reliably emerge every 13 or 17 years, depending on their brood. But in a warming world where spring conditions arrive sooner, climate change is messing with the bugs' internal alarm clocks.
