(I think in practice, the "election police" will be used to intimidate minorities at the polls.)

(CNN)Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a sweeping voting overhaul bill that establishes a new election police force -- giving his administration a new way to probe election crimes.

With the GOP governor's signature, Florida has become one of the first states in the country with a unit focused on election fraud, an exceedingly rare problem that has become an animating issue for some Republican voters following former President Donald Trump's 2020 loss.

(When election fraud is exceptionally rare, one wonders what the real purpose of the "election police" really is.)
