Someone needs to thoroughly search for ties between DeSantis and other prominent Florida politicians (and anyone associated with Trump, or Trump himself) and Florida Voters in Charge.

Yeah … keep dreaming.

Is there a good news angle here, that S of S Lee did her job by the book?

The idea that our committee would purposely submit fraudulent petitions is ridiculous,” attorney Jim McKee told the paper. He added: “Every petition identifies the individual who collected it and we would encourage law enforcement to investigate any petitions of concern.”

Not so ridiculous if you’re paying folks by the number of signatures they get. And I’m sure the $49.5 doesn’t cover the cost of your bonus if you deliver enough signatures to get this on the ballot.

This isn’t Trump’s style. He saves his failed casino ventures for actual casinos, not proposals. But I can see where the fraud is throwing you off.

Problem is many of us were hoping Jan 6 might have been the penultimate episode only to find this particular reality show is being renewed for another season.

Classic mistake - they forgot to give the SOS a nice cut of the proceeds early in the process. Republicans do not tolerate being cut out of the action - they will get you every time.

Of course, this woman may be the most honest person in the Republican leadership in Florida.

Erika Alba is the Chair of Florida Voters in Charge. She represented DeSantis in a complaint filed by the FEC for what appears to be some very shady campaign dealings, specifically involving foreign nationals and voter suppression activities,. A complaint the FEC weirdly dismissed for very vague reasons, despite having a helluva lot of supporting evidence.

Well they better investigate it quickly because soon their questioning potential suspects might cause them discomfort and that will be illegal.

And don’t forget to confirm this:
Voter fraud by Dems - mostly non-existent but requires draconian laws to prevent.
Voter fraud by GQP - seems to happen quite a bit but isn’t a problem that needs fixing.

Not for something that doesn’t exist, such as forged and fake signatures. Nothing they paid for is real. Kind of over priced, actually, like paying $10 for a nothing burger.

Good news from the article, I’ve been reminded that Sheldon Adelson is dead.

Bad news from the article, his spirit lives on.

I think it became that when the first European set foot on its shores.
