Florida Secretary of State, Cord Byrd, joins Protecting Your Vote. He discusses Florida's election procedures that allow for the state to report its election results in a timely fashion on election night.

He, also, discusses how election crime referrals were gathering dust in county prosecutors' offices. PILF's report Safe Harbor uncovered 156 election crime referrals by supervisors of elections where nothing had been done by county prosecutors. Governor Ron DeSantis saw this problem and created a statewide election crimes prosecutor to ensure that election crimes are being prosecuted.
