A 20-year-old Florida man was arrested Oct. 27 for allegedly altering Gov. Ron DeSantis’s primary residence in the state’s voter database and thereby changing his voting location.

DeSantis, a Republican, alerted police after he went to cast his ballot and was told by a poll worker that his address didn’t match the one in the statewide voter registration system. His new address, according to the system, was in West Palm Beach, where the governor doesn’t maintain a residence.
