Florida Claims Abortion Petition Signatures Are Invalid

The Tallahassee Democrat reports:

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ latest attempt to defeat the abortion rights ballot measure, known as Amendment 4, emerged in a report from the office of his elections chief, alleging a host of violations involving the campaign’s petition signature-gathering.

The 348-page report comes from the office of Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd, a Republican former state House member appointed by DeSantis to the elections post two years ago. It includes allegations of fraudulent signatures and petition-gatherers being paid illegally per signature.

Ron Desantis’s Office of Election Crimes produced a report today claiming that the signatures used to get the abortion rights amendment on the ballot next month in FL are invalid. https://t.co/7Ult4DrDnQ
