DeSantis Busted In Huge Lie About Abortion Petitions

September 12, 2024 Politics, Republicans

Axios reports:

Fraudulent petition signatures cited by the DeSantis administration as justification for its probe of Florida’s abortion rights referendum had already been rejected, according to a local elections supervisor.

That means those signatures never counted toward the total required to put the measure before voters, Palm Beach County supervisor of elections Wendy Link, a Gov. Ron DeSantis appointee, tells Axios.

The administration has not produced evidence that fraudulent signatures helped get Amendment 4, which would enshrine abortion access in the Florida Constitution, on the ballot.

The Meidas Touch reports:

Desantis sent out teams of investigators from his “election crimes” police force to knock on doors to question whether voters who signed petitions to get the amendment on the ballot committed fraud. These investigators were sent to heavily populated Democratic areas.

Since the Amendment has been approved, this state public health website has been turned into a Desantis propaganda machine against Amendment 4. The site began running this ad against the Amendment along with other materials on the website.

This action taken by Desantis appears to clearly violate Florida Statute 104.31, which prohibits any state employee, elected official or appointee from using taxpayer funds for political advocacy.
