Fact check: Here's what Florida's new elections law actually does
CNN
On Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an elections bill that makes it more difficult to vote.
The Florida law is part of a cross-country Republican effort -- in the wake of President Donald Trump's lies about the integrity of the 2020 election -- to impose new restrictions on voter access. DeSantis said Thursday that the new law will make Florida elections more secure. But Florida elections were already highly secure: DeSantis boasted in November about how well the 2020 general election had gone, saying Florida was now being seen as "the state that did it right and that other states should emulate," while Republican Secretary of State Laurel Lee, a DeSantis appointee, said in December that her department had "successfully administered three safe, secure and orderly elections" in 2020.The US began pulling military equipment and additional personnel out of Niger on Friday after waiting months for the ruling military junta to approve US military flights into the country, two sources familiar with the matter said Saturday, ahead of a September 15 withdrawal deadline agreed to by the two countries.
The judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in New York on Friday informed the former president’s defense team and prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office that a comment was posted on the New York State Unified Court Systems’ public Facebook page last week by a poster who claimed to be a cousin of a juror, saying that Trump would be convicted.
