South Florida seniors alarmed after political party was unknowingly changed to Republican

https://www.local10.com/news/local/2022/02/02/south-florida-seniors-alarmed-after-political-party-was-unknowingly-changed-to-republican/

Despite the security at Haley Sofge Towers, a Miami-Dade public housing building, people with clipboards and Republican Party of Florida caps were in the hallways, door knocking.

It made registered NPA Armando Selva suspicious.

“They said, “We’re doing the renewals on the voter registration, would you like to renew?” Selva recalled.

Resident Juan Carlos Salazar was not suspicious at the time.

“I didn’t do anything, but they changed the party,” Salazar said, adding he noticed, “when they sent me the new registration.”

He wasn’t the only elderly resident at the public housing to come forward and say the same thing happened to them.

The realizations came after a Local 10 News report in December about an 84-year-old lifelong Miami Democrat who was shocked to receive a new, changed voter identification card.

I recall a teacher getting in trouble because she brought registration forms to school and showed students how to fill them out.

I guess, like more and more things, IOKIYAR.
