Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed new voting reform legislation into law.

It includes limits on drop boxes and changes to how people sign up for vote-by-mail.

Opponents say it's aimed at making it harder for people to vote and will particularly impact minority voters. One group says it has plans to challenge the law in court.

DeSantis and supporters of the bill say the legislation makes sensible changes that will help restore confidence in the election system.
