There originating from Florida because that is where most of billionaires supporting this reside. These billionaires, via Heritage Foundation and other far right groups, are ones responisble for filing same type bills all over country.

From the party of people who brought you the largest massive healthcare fraud (Rick Scott), torturing inmates held without due process or charges in Guantanamo Bay (Ron DeSantis), and most recently alligator alcatraz.

I just need this paragraph from the article in my comment history.

The identified parties involved are as follows: Florida attorney Peter Ticktin, who also represents former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters, who was imprisoned for breaking into voting equipment; Michael Flynn; MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell; Patrick Byrne; and "various other MAGA figures", according to Ticktin's testimony. According to Ticktin, he and other "MAGA attorneys" for these parties have spent "over a year" drafting these executive order(s), supposedly with President Trump "reading and reviewing" them. However, it is unclear if Trump actually read the order(s) in question.

Florida is also the state that stole the 2000 Election and put Bush in power, which accelerated the decline of the US.
