Election Law Is Troubling

League of Women Voters

The governor's signature on the comprehensive elections bill signals yet another attempt at establishing trouble-free elections in Florida.

The new election law mandates a paper trail to verify voters' intent -something the Florida League of Women Voters believes will go a long way in restoring voter confidence.

However, League President Dianne Wheatley-Giliotti is troubled by the other measures in the law. The league is calling on the governor to appoint a panel to review the reforms just passed.
