Ron DeSantis has been a huge supporter of Trump’s unhinged claims of a stolen 2020 election and has supported numerous measures to carry forward the Republican Party’s anti-democratic agenda, including setting up his own election police force that will investigate claims of election fraud and that answers directly to his office.

In his ruling against Senate Bill 90, Judge Walker acknowledged that the legislation “unduly burdening disabled voters, and intentionally targeting minority voters — all to improve the electoral prospects of the party in power.”

The decision has triggered Florida Republicans, with State Senate President Wilton Simpson calling it “unbecoming of an officer of the court.”

What is actually unbecoming of anything is opportunistic and cynical lawmakers attacking our right to vote and the democratic process because of the temper tantrums of Donald Trump, a disgraced reality TV star and insurrection enthusiast, who simply can’t accept that a majority of Americans rejected his bid to be reelected as president.
