Media Maligned This Florida Election-Integrity Task Force For Legally Challenging Shady Ballots

Orange County, Florida

  • A local election integrity task force was smeared by the Orlando Sentinel for challenging ballots in anticipation of Tuesday's primary
  • The Orange County Election Integrity Task Force is nonpartisan
  • Challenged 36 mail-in ballots over signature mismatch or other related issues leading to 20 ballot rejections
  • Despite the task force's nonpartisan status, the Sentinel labeled the group "Orange partisans" and part of the Orange County GOP

The Sentinel article is just one example of a broader trend among election officials and media partisans: intimidating grassroots organizations and preventing citizen oversight into local elections

  • A report by the AZMirror paints Republican poll-watcher training as a hotbed for misinformation and unfounded claims of election fraud
  • Grassroots citizen organizations do not intend to disrupt elections with grandiose claims of fraud, they want to ensure local elections are conducted freely and fairly
