It includes a requirement that in order to vote, all voters produce a valid, government issued, photo ID, such as Real ID card, a passport, or a military ID. All would require a photo AND a statement of birthplace, proving citizenship.

"As an organization committed to empowering voters and defending democracy, the League is outraged by the current administration’s actions against the American people. We are equally concerned about the inaction of our elected officials in Congress to exercise their constitutional authority and put a stop to this attack on democratic institutions, Americans, and the rule of law..." - LWV CEO Celina Stewart

This article by League member Sally Butzin appeared in the Tallahassee Democrat. For years, Sally and I have joked about the many choices of Cheerios. There are too many choices! The Florida Voucher System now takes about $3.9 billion from the public schools. We are asking our public schools to do more with less support. There may also be too many choices some of which may not be good ones. The average parent has no way to know because the rules differ for each choice.
