Florida’s Fraudulent Voting Witch Hunt Produces a “Shocking” Number of Cases — All Republican

Florida’s Fraudulent Voting Witch Hunt Produces a “Shocking” Number of Cases — All Republican
September 7, 2013 By Allen Clifton

The issue of voter fraud and new restrictive voter ID laws has taken this country by storm the last couple of years. Republican legislatures all across the country have taken “a stand against voter fraud” and passed highly restrictive new laws which they claim will reduce the possibility of fraudulent voting.

It just so happens that Florida, with their Republican Governor Rick Scott, is one of these states claiming strict voter ID laws are needed to prevent the possibility of rampant voter fraud.

Well, an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has concluded, and their findings are absolutely stunning.

Upon concluding their investigation, they reported a staggering—two cases of voter registration fraud.
Yes, after several months of investigation following the 2012 elections, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement found a whopping two cases of actual voter registration fraud.

In another inquiry, involving Strategic Allied Consulting, a vendor for the Republican Party of Florida, an arrest was made of a man who stole the identity of a former girlfriend's ex-husband. He admitted to fraudulently filling out two voter registration forms.


It doesn't say outright "The cases involved a Republican" but it does say he was involved with a firm under contract to the Republican Party of Fl.

with SAC (we know who THEY are). It almost sounds like SAC was doing the inquiry and turned the guy in. Most people don't even know who Strategic Allied Consulting is. SAC are the criminals who keep getting caught in voter/election fraud, then the change the name and are rehired by state repug parties across the country.

Lots of money, few actual cases found, witchhunt unsuccessful.

Don't worry, they'll be back next week. They don't let facts get in their way.
