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.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —
“This is just the first step. There are many more in the pipeline,” DeSantis said. “We are not just going to turn a blind eye to this. The days of that happening in Florida are over.” Florida Rising Executive Director Andrea Mercado said the announcement is a sign that his administration is undermining people’s access to voting, and noted a DeSantis’ drawn congressional redistricting map erased a North Florida congressional district that has long performed for Black voters.
During the press conference, DeSantis was flanked by police officers, Election Crimes and Security office director Pete Antonacci, Secretary of State Cord Byrd and Attorney General Ashley Moody.
