Reply #3: Dyer is a Democrat. He is being accused by Republicans [View All]

[Orangepeel]

He hired a consultant (used by many of both parties) to run his get out the vote program in the African American community. His opponent in the last election is accusing that man (and by implication, Dyer) of absentee ballot fraud.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is accused of harrassing voters in their investigation. Dyer won by a large margin, but only got 51% of the vote (compared to about 25% by his largest competitor) so he narrowly avoided a runoff.

It's all bullshit, by the way because Mulvaney is a crybaby. No doubt there is fraud in absentee ballots, but the particular consultant used has a very good reputation for honesty. When the allegations first surfaced, most people in the Democratic party just waived it off because they were confident that he was on the up and up. But, the FDLE (which reports to Jeb ultimately) has kept pursuing it. Coincidentally, they started this investigation right after Dyer introduced future-President Kerry at an Orlando event.
