Florida and Mississippi have tightened voter citizenship rules after their governors signed the measures into law, prompting at least two lawsuits in Florida. The new rules will require voters to provide additional documentation of citizenship starting in the 2024 election cycle. This move is part of a wave of states imposing stricter voter verification requirements.
