Guess Who The Florida Vote Fraud Squad Wants To Arrest?

A Florida man shocked he being arrested for voting.

Vote.

Ignore the noise.

Vote to save democracy.

Gov. Karen DeSantis is a controversial figure in Florida politics. He is running for reelection and is likely to beat Charlie Crist. If we don't get our asses out there to vote, you'll get four more years of noise and his profile risen as a 2024 potential.

Florida went to Washed Up 45. 

However, the former president complained that he didn't win areas that never voted for him. So the Republicans believe areas that never vote for them are committing voting fraud.

There were Republicans allegedly voting more than once.

20 people were arrested by the Office of Election Crimes and Security fraud appeared to have no idea why they were being arrested and seemed to be unaware that they were being accused of violating state law when they voted, according to police body camera footage shared with CBS News. 

Florida felons were restored voting rights. However, it left out felons who had committed murder and sexual crimes. The law left voters confused.

The footage was first reported by the Tampa Bay Times and was provided by the Tampa Police Department. It shows the arrests of three of the twenty people who allegedly broke the state's election laws on felon voting rights: Tony Patterson, 43, Byron Leanord Smith, 65, and Romona Oliver, 55. 

All are listed as residents of Tampa and were previously convicted of either murder or a sex offense. They all also voted in 2020, according to voting records provided by Hillsborough County. 

In mid-August, DeSantis announced that his election police department had arrested 20 former convicts who had voted, despite the fact that their full voting rights had not been restored. He said that "Amendment 4," a ballot measure that overwhelmingly passed in 2018 that restores voting rights to felons, did not apply to them because felons convicted of murder or a sex offense cannot vote, even if their sentence has been served. 

If convicted of voter fraud, defendants may be fined up to $5,000 and face a prison term of up to 5 years.
