2024 FL Senate race: on Government Reform


Debbie Mucarsel-Powell: Require independent, nonpartisan redistricting

Voting Rules: Make voting harder or easier?

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D): Easier. Supports the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to increase enforcement of voting rights. Also voted to expand access to voter registration and voting, limit removing voters from the rolls, and require independent, nonpartisan redistricting.

Rick Scott (R): Harder. Supports stricter nationwide requirements for registration, voter ID, and mail-in ballots. Same-day registration "does not allow election officials to verify" voter information's validity and accuracy. As governor, banned campus early-voting sites.
