Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' administration has initiated actions through its election police to question the validity of signatures on abortion petitions related to an amendment. Residents who signed the petitions to overturn Florida's 6-week abortion ban reported feeling shaken after being approached by the election crime police. The administration has also requested at least 37,000 verified, signed ballots from local supervisors. Critics have labeled these actions as state-authorized election interference.
