quentin kidd is a professor of political science at christopher newport university, in virginia.l set of electoral issues. florida is one of these states that is deadlocked when it comes to partisan politics. they're only slightly more republican than democrat, but yet there are more democratic registered voters. elections are so close and when you have really close elections, what happens is those mail in ballots and absentee votes matter. in a normal election, one person wins by enough that the absentee and mail in ballots don't make a difference but here you have a situation where it is so close on election day that those mail—in and absentee ballots might make a difference, and that's why this is controversial, because it doesn't happen very often. we've seen president trump talk about fraud happening in florida. senator rick scott has even said he is alluded to some sort of fraud. are they correct? no, in my mind that's a bunch of politics. what's going on here is florida has this law that some other states have that says that the signature that's on file with your voter reg
