Florida’s new laws echo the controversial ones enacted in Georgia.

On Thursday, Florida state legislators passed a new bill amending the rules and laws that govern the voting process in the state. These new laws, while not quite as severe, bear multiple similarities to ones recently passed in Georgia.

According to the new laws, tighter restrictions have been placed on who is permitted to use a ballot drop box, as well as where drop boxes are permitted to be placed. Drop boxes cannot be moved from where they have been placed if it is within 30 days of an election, and an election official must be present when the box is opened to retrieve the ballots. This law is a less severe version that was reached after amending the previous version, which sought to do away with drop boxes entirely.

Additionally, vote by mail requests will need to be filed by voters more frequently in order to be utilized, election observers will have greater oversight over the ballot counting process and cannot be paid with private funds. Florida’s governor will also have the authority to appoint officials to local offices in the event those offices are vacated by officials looking to run for state offices.

These new laws have drawn similar criticisms to the ones passed in Georgia and decried by multiple major officials. Florida Democratic Rep. Omari Hardy called the laws “the revival of Jim Crow in this state, whether the sponsors admit it or not.”

“I take some issue with the fact that we’re trying to somehow restrict the vote. There are more ways to vote in Florida and a longer opportunity than just about any state in the nation,” Republican state Rep. Ralph Massullo said.
