Defendants targeted in DeSantis’ voter fraud crackdown were told they could vote

And you are seriously suggesting that someone would risk 5 years in prison by voting where their vote is one in several million votes and can not possibly offer them any financial return.

 

Names please of the election officials who told them they could vote or at least a document with names and dates. Why should anyone believe a convicted felon? I bet they claimed they were innocent as well.

 

We're not talking about smart people here. Who knows what they were thinking. Fact is they were not legally able to vote whether or not they knew that. Let a court figure it out as they do with all crimes.

 

The first case ended three days ago with the release of the voter, the rest soon expected to as well.

 

You realize that this forum isn't a courtroom and we're not defense counsel, right?

 

I don't have (or need) that information at this time.... each case will be dismissed as each voter presents their case with their story... Follow along as you will...

And you'd bigly lose your last bet... haven't seen one person make that claim....

 

That's the question that could be asked of almost all crime. And yet we have crime; a lot of it.

That is a question that you shouldn't be asking me, since I already answered it in #149. You should ask yourself why criminals will commit crime even though it's all downside and very little upside.

 

Saw this story about a Floridian who fought, won, then died against common sense

He went out as he wanted.... Free and Stupid



I really think at some point, this forum is going to have to remove the COVID Room and replace it with the Floriduh room... I cannot get on the Al Gore Interweb without finding something postable to laugh about down there...

 

Who verified and mailed out ballots to them?

 

Florida restored the rights of some felons to vote. What office is responsible for sending voter eligibility data to counties? Hint: It's the guy who paraded on television about arrested 20 confused voters for illegally voting.

 

How did they get their hands on ballots? Who gave it to them? Would a state give a ballot to someone who is ineligible to vote? Why did the governor's office not verify voter eligibility?

 

DMV does it here in California. All you have to do is check the box saying you are a legal voter. The Sec of State says they verify your eligibility.

 

So who dropped the ball in Florida? Does Florida just accept a checked box at face value?

Why is the governor parading on television when his officials dropped the ball and let felons vote?

 

Not that it takes any David Copperfield, to perform that "illusion."

 

The Orange County Supervisor of Elections, Bill Cowles, is a Democrat, so let's hope so.

A republican appointed by a republican dropped the ball and never notified the county. Should they be charged?

 

Perhaps you're suffering from a Fetterman-like disconnect. Your question was "Who approved the voter registration?" and the answer is the county supervisors of elections are responsible for that. It says so right here in Florida law:

source: Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine (state.fl.us)

Unsurprisingly, the Democrats in these counties are lax at this and let convicted felons (and probably other ineligible voters) register and vote, compromising the integrity of our elections. Your idea of having them arrested and charged sounds like a good one to me.

 

Supervisors get a list of felons who are ineligible from the secretary of state. Whoever didn't transmit that list to county supervisors should be arrested tomorrow and a televised announcement be made.

 

Whatever anyone else may have done or not done, it's the County Supervisor of Elections' duty to determine an applicant's eligibility to vote, a duty these Democrats failed at. If you want to arrest and charge a government official for violating the law here, you have one clear choice: the Democrat County Supervisors of Elections who are responsible, under the law. It does not surprise me that you're trying to brush aside the fact that Democrats broke the law to let felons vote, and by so doing "threatened our democracy".

 

The Supervisor bases eligibility information given to them by the secretary of state. I have cited the statute. If you want to ignore that, fine.

 

This you?

What about this?

and this?

Now that you've learned that the county supervisor of elections is a Democrat, you're scrambling to cover for him, trying to change your tune, to pull a complete 180. It's pathetic. You're embarrassing yourself and you should stop.

 

What I posted is true. The county does verify eligibility. However, they base eligibility on information provided to them by the state department, which I stated in previous posts which you did not quite. You can deflect all you want, but I have posted statutes that identifies who provides information to whom in order to verify eligibility.

 

Noted

 

I do and I never expected an answer because there probably isn't any proof. And without proof by the defendants who voted without getting permission will end up back in jail. If this is the case then stupid is as stupid does. If they actually do have the proof then drop the charges and make it clear the defendants are not authorized to vote. I'm guessing charges would have been dropped if the defendants had proof they could vote.

 

Go read the link. And the Governors office doesn't manage elections they are run by LOCAL OFFICIALS.
