We'll see what happens in the courts on this. Unfortunately, this I think may be a challenging hurdle throughout the country as conservative governors try to ensure election integrity.

DeSantis signs Florida election bill limiting drop boxes, mail-in voting live on 'Fox & Friends'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a voting bill in the state into law on Thursday morning, making his state the latest GOP-leaning state to enact voting changes after the 2020 presidential election.

DeSantis, a Republican, said live on "Fox & Friends" that the new law would continue to keep things like mail voting accessible while also protecting election integrity.

"I have what we think is the strongest election integrity measures in the country," DeSantis said. "We're making sure we're enforcing voter ID… We're also banning ballot harvesting. We're not gonna let political operatives go and get satchels of votes to dump them in some drop box."

DeSantis added: "We're also prohibiting mass mailing of balloting. We've had absentee voting in Florida for a long time. You request the ballot. You get it. And you mail it in. But to just indiscriminately send them out is not a recipe for success."

The law was immediately challenged in court by Democrat lawyer Marc Elias. ............
