DuhSantis is the winner.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday approved the creation of a new stand-alone election police force designed to crack down on voter fraud in the nation’s third-largest state.
The Republican governor had proposed the creation of a special unit to tackle election crimes as he came under pressure from some Republicans to do a full-blown audit of the 2020 election even though former President Donald Trump had little trouble winning Florida.
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday announced that the state is in the process of arresting 20 ex-felons — mostly in South Florida — for voter fraud tied to the 2020 election, the first round of what he promises will be a wave of voter fraud arrests.
Or so it seemed at the time. In October, a Miami judge
tossed out a criminal case against a Floridian accused by DeSantis’ election fraud force. A month later, prosecutors in Tampa
dropped the case against another defendant. This week, a judge threw out a third case.
In fairness, it’s worth emphasizing that the governor’s operation did accept a plea nearly two weeks ago from another one of the defendants, and a local prosecutor
boasted soon after that his office was pleased to secure a “felony conviction on illegal voting.”
That was a charitable spin on what transpired: Tampa resident Romona Oliver pleaded no contest and received no punishment whatsoever: no jail time, no probation, and no financial penalties.
AND the dumbest thing a politician ever did to waste state taxpayer $$$.
Newly released documents shed even more light into the planning that went into sending a group of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, and what could be still to come.
The migrants, mostly from Venezuela, were just some of the people put on planes in September and left in Massachusetts, all paid for by Florida taxpayers.
We’re now getting a look at just how much those flights cost and the planning that went into them.
The newly released documents show the private jet company that shuttled the migrants quoted the State of Florida more than $153,000 for two flights from San Antonio, Texas to Bedford, Massachusetts.
