“The allegations included reports of paid FPF petition circulators signing petitions on behalf of deceased individuals, forging or misrepresenting elector signatures of petitions, using electors’ personal identifying information without consent, and perjury/false swearing,” the report claims, noting that “more than 20” of the 911,000 signatures were from now-deceased Floridians.
If I'm reading this data right more than 730 Floridians die every day of the year, and considering these petitions usually have to be have the signatures collected and filed months before the ballot, even assuming that whole process only took 2 months, that would mean 43,800 Floridians had died in that time. It would actually surprise me if the number of dead signatories to the ballot measure were as low as 20.
Yes, the assholes making the claim know this, and think they can cause enough confusion to try and shut this vote down for another two years. DOJ needs to get involved immediately.
Yeah that laundry list of excuses reads like "throw everything against the wall and see what sticks" instead of legitimate concerns for the electoral process.
Frankly, the way Desantis is fighting this, I wouldn't be surprised if he'd killed a few of the signers himself.

Judging from his COVID policies allowing it to run rampant, he did kill many of his own voters.
885,397 signatures are needed for a ballot measure this election (8% of votes cast in the last presidential election, as per Florida law). Meaning there would need to be more than 25,000 of these "fraudulent" signatures for it matter. Fuck off DeSantis
