DeSantis: 20 People Charged with Voter Fraud

By Eric Lendrum – August 19, 2022 – amgreatness.com

On Thursday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) announced that at least 20 people who have already been disqualified from voting due to felony convictions are now facing charges of voter fraud.

Fox News reports that his announcement was made in a press conference at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale. In his remarks, DeSantis said that the accused are all from South Florida, and had previously been convicted of such crimes as murder and sexual assault, which bars them from voting ever again.

“This is against the law, and now they’re going to pay the price for it,” DeSantis said.

If any of them are convicted on the voter fraud charges, they could each face up to five years in prison. Their identities are being withheld for the time being.

The announcement of the 20 arrests marks one of the first major actions undertaken by Florida’s new Office of Election Crimes and Security, a special police unit that was created earlier this year specifically for the purpose of combating voter fraud and protecting election integrity.
