Support and Enhance SB 562 for Fair and Safe Elections

To: Rep. Duggan, Sen. Davis

From: A constituent in Jacksonville, FL

February 7

The proposed SB 562 bill, aiming to safeguard election workers from intimidation, threats, coercion, or harassment, is a crucial step towards ensuring a fair and safe electoral process. The bill's provision, which considers violation a third-degree felony, is a strong deterrent. However, it is essential to ensure that this law is enforced equitably, without disproportionately targeting marginalized communities. Therefore, request the inclusion of clear guidelines for law enforcement to prevent misuse. Additionally, consider implementing support systems for election workers who may be victims of such harassment. The bill's effectiveness will be significantly enhanced by these additions.
