Screenshot via Fox News/"Fox & Friends" Florida is the latest state to enact GOP-backed restrictions on mail voting. Many of these laws may appease Trump rather than help the GOP. Despite Trump's claims, there is no evidence that mail voting helped Democrats. Flanked by a smiling crowd of supporters at the Airport Hilton in West Palm Beach on Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the latest in a wave of Republican-backed bills restricting mail voting at an event that only Fox News was allowed to carry live. Between Fox News scoring an exclusive for the signing and the effusive praise from the "Fox & Friends'" hosts for DeSantis, the event was clearly made-for-Trump television.
