Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.
On April 29, the Florida Legislature passed SB 228 Committee Substitute, which lets individuals register to vote on-line.
The process is entirely electronic for applicants who already have a Florida drivers license or state I.D. card.
If the individual does not, then the system prompts the applicant to print out a form, sign it, and mail it in. This is the part I disagree with. They should be required to go to their DMV and get their photo taken.
The Secretary of State, Ken Detzler, is opposed to the bill. Detzler is appointed by the Governor, Rick Scott. It is not known if the Governor will sign the bill. The bill passed overwhelmingly in both houses of the legislature.
