A sudden and sweeping bill revamping much of Florida’s election rules pops up in the legislature. Valerie Crowder was at the measure’s first – and so far only – committee stop.

Two Florida Democratic leaders were arrested Monday with a group of protesters outside city hall. Regan McCarthy reports the group was advocating for abortion access after a proposed six-week ban passed in the Senate earlier in the day.
