Statehouse Minority Leader Kionne McGhee is asking Florida's governor to work with the U.S. Postal Service to ensure mail-in voting works this fall.
WASHINGTON — Urgent action is needed to secure the integrity of mail-in voting in Florida ahead of the November election, especially given an expected surge in it this fall, the Democratic leader of the state’s House told NBC News on Thursday.
McGhee also sent a similar letter to Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and plans in a few weeks to hold a hearing on concerns about mail ballot bottlenecks, with a particular focus on Florida, a committee aide said. On Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said his greatest concern is that every American's vote is counted and said his “single greatest concern” is that “this president is going to try to steal this election.” McGhee’s comments offer more specificity about what Democrats fear in a critical swing state.
Florida already permits no-excuse absentee voting. But under state law, a mail-in ballot must be received by the supervisor of elections by 7:00 p.m. on the day of the general election, or it will not be counted. Voting rights advocates argue the law disenfranchises voters whose ballots are mailed on time but are delivered too late to meet the deadline.
McGhee has proposed adding a bar code to allow voters to track their ballots and ensure they were counted.
