Florida Election Police Question Voters Over Abortion Petition

Governor DeSantis defends the investigation as necessary to address fraud allegations, while critics claim it aims to intimidate voters.

Florida's election police are questioning residents about signatures on an abortion rights petition.
The petition seeks to place an amendment on the ballot to nullify a six-week abortion ban.
Critics argue the investigation is a tactic to discourage voter participation and protect restrictive abortion laws.
Governor DeSantis states the probe targets fraudulent petitions, including those signed by deceased individuals.
Florida's health agency also launched a website opposing the abortion amendment.
