Miami’s ABC News affiliate reports:
Miami-Dade Elections Department 2021-22 records show more than 5,000 registered Democrats switched their party affiliation to Republican. The increase comes just as more victims of third-party registrations are coming forward to report that their voter registration was altered without their permission.
All of the victims were older than 65 years old, live in Miami-Dade County, and all of them were outraged when they learned they were registered as Republicans. “People are being taken advantage of,” Sen. Annette Taddeo said. “Lots of these people don’t speak English or are elderly.”
The Miami Herald reports:
Sometime in early December, Juan A. Salazar, a 77-year-old Dominican living in Little Havana, exited the elevator of his building tower in his electric wheelchair to get some fresh air in the parking lot out front, as he usually does.
But he recalls that on that particular day, a group of three canvassers wearing red caps and t-shirts that said “Republican Party of Florida” approached him.
According to Salazar, the three workers asked him if he wanted to fill out an application to get his new voter ID card. He told the canvassers there was no need — he knew he got one automatically in the mail before every general election. But the canvassers insisted. “You will get it faster,” Salazar recalled them saying.
Several Miami residents, many of whom are Hispanic and over 60 years old, are now coming forward with their own claims about having their party affiliation changed from Democrat to Republican after interacting with canvassers. https://t.co/JFwLvfw40F

Last Nov, Florida Republican voter registration surpassed Democrats by @ 4,000 votes.
Included in that- >5,000 Miami Dade Democrats recorded as “switched”.
Now more senior voters are telling us- they didn’t know their party affiliations changed.

Trump supporters have been arrested in The Villages, FL for casting multiple ballots.
Florida GOP operatives are tricking elderly residents into “renewing” their voter registration only to change their party affiliation to Republican.
Florida Republicans are brazenly corrupt.
