Politico: "Florida could ban voting drop boxes just months after an election where they proved immensely popular with voters amid the pandemic. Sen. Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala), the chair of the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee, on Tuesday released a revamped elections proposal that would completely ban drop boxes for ballots. It will be considered by a Senate committee on Wednesday. Baxley contended that he was pushing for the change due to concerns 'due to a real security concern' and that boxes were being left unsupervised."
"'I just want to maintain that chain of evidence from the time they vote to the time until they get counted so we don't have a mishap,' said Baxley, who could not name any specific incidents that sparked the legislation. Baxley added 'you can mail it or bring it to the office. That's it.' But the move immediately drew fire from local election supervisors. 'I'm at a loss for words,' said Pasco County Supervisor of Election Brian Corley, a Republican. 'It's a solution looking for a problem.'"
