Ron DeSantis established an election integrity unit within the state’s law enforcement agency, which has actively pursued criminal fraud charges.
In Florida, where Governor Ron DeSantis takes election integrity seriously, state officials have started scrutinizing the signature-gathering for an abortion amendment amid widespread allegations of fraud.
But as DeSantis said last week, “Our tolerance in the state of Florida for any type of election-related fraud is zero.” Despite widespread complaints about election fraud among Republican voters, most red state governors have not acted as aggressively as DeSantis in deterring and combating illegal voting and electioneering.
Election integrity has been the top concern for many Republican voters, but despite their complaints, few Republicans have taken significant action.
In a letter to the FDLE’s special Election Integrity Unit, the deputy secretary of state reported that the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections found that several dozen paid petition circulators allegedly engaged in fraud.
While DeSantis strongly opposes the unlimited abortion provisions outlined in Amendment 4, the Florida Department of State’s criminal referral to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement highlights serious concerns of fraud.
Florida stands out.
