Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered an investigation while criticizing the state’s head of law enforcement for inaction on multiple instances of what Bondi called “clearly documented irregularities in the conduct of election officials in Broward and Palm Beach counties in the 2018 election.”
“I am directing you to take the necessary steps to promote public safety and to assure that our state will guarantee integrity in our elections process,” she said in a Nov. 11 letter to Rick Swearingen, Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) commissioner.
