The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Office of Statewide Prosecution say they’ve opened up a criminal investigation into allegations that the Florida Democrat Party carried out election fraud during the midterm elections.
Evidence sent to the Department of State shows a possible effort by Democrats to have voters fix ballots after the deadline in at least four counties, WFLA reported.
Forms for mail ballots sent to voters by Democrats show the return date was changed from the day before the election to two days after the election.
“They put the date down for the provisional ballot cure, not the absentee ballot cure thing and actually by doing it, all they did was make it harder for their own voters to vote,” he said.
State officials also said that “disseminating false information as to the date, timing or location of federal voting activity” is a violation of federal laws.
Under Florida law, it’s a third-degree felony to “make or use any false document, knowing the same to contain any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry” in connection to the Department of State, which oversees the elections.
“Upon receiving notice of the allegations that the form was incorrect, FDP took immediate steps, including hiring an independent investigator to review the issues at hand,” Herron told the Times. “As soon as we know the results of the investigation we will advise you.”
Democrats have conceded in both the race for the governor’s chair and Senate seat.
During the recount effort, Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican who was seeking the Senate seat, said there was “rampant fraud” going on.
President Donald Trump also tweeted similar claims.
