Florida's Republican-controlled legislature has passed HB 991, a sweeping election bill requiring citizenship verification for all voters and eliminating student IDs and several other forms of identification at the polls. The bill, which passed along party lines and now heads to Governor DeSantis for his expected signature, won't take effect until January 2027 but has already drawn promises of legal challenges from voting rights advocates who warn it could disenfranchise over a million eligible citizens.
