Legal group finds hundreds of double voting cases, thousands of deceased voters on rolls in Palm Beach County
An election integrity watchdog has found 24,000 instances of irregularities among the voter rolls in Palm Beach County, Fla., according to a new report.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a group that litigates to protect election integrity, discovered double voting by the same registrants, double registrants across state lines, deceased voters on rolls, and apparent noncitizens previously registered to vote in Palm Beach County following a three-month investigation involving office visits, records inspections, and voter roll audits.
The findings raise concerns in the swing state one year out from the 2020 elections. It was Florida's election results that sent the 2000 presidential race between George W. Bush and Al Gore to the Supreme Court. Palm Beach County itself faced massive criticism as recently as the 2018 midterm elections when it could not finish three state-mandated recounts by imposed deadlines. The events led to the county's supervisor of elections, Susan Bucher, being ousted from her position and the implementation of a $15 million voting overhaul.
"Concerns ranged from apparent clerical errors memorialized in voter records to evidence of dead and double voting," PILF's report states. "Seemingly unlawful claims of business and government addresses were also found used as residential ones. Some individuals (unwillingly or otherwise) even demonstrated an ability to register multiple times under the same name, address, and date of birth thanks to human or computer system errors between the county elections office and Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles personnel. Perhaps most alarming of all, apparent noncitizens were documented registering to vote in Palm Beach County—sometimes while admitting their immigration status on voter applications."
The group ultimately discovered 225 instances of double voting by the same registrant in 2016 and/or 2018; 20,479 double registrations across state lines; 68 uses of nonresidential addresses as county residences; 2,203 deceased voters on the voter roll; 139 instances of records of deceased voters casting ballots; 413 names appearing more than once on the county's voter roll; and 68 apparent noncitizens previously registered to vote for a total average length of seven years.
A spokesman for the election integrity group said that the county needs to act on its voter rolls and has plenty of time to do so.
"If state sponsors of cyber attacks are targeting voter rolls like our intelligence services warn, then we need to take the year before 2020 to identify and resolve particular vulnerabilities like documented in Palm Beach County," Logan Churchwell, PILF's communications director, told the Washington Free Beacon. "Most of these are systemic concerns—but some are human. None are insurmountable with the time we currently have. PILF has found these types of problems across the country—this is not just a Florida problem."
"If you are dedicated to getting in the way of proper voter list maintenance by trying to scare the public about ‘purges,' then you are part of the problem," Churchwell said.
The findings were submitted to the county's new supervisor of elections, Wendy S. Link, for a "line-by-line review to discern necessary list maintenance efforts according to federal and Florida statutes."
Palm Beach County's supervisor of elections did not respond to request for comment on PILF's findings by press time.

If there is anything that Desantes can do about this before next year he’d better get crackin.
Alcee Hastings one of their reps.
They’ll say it happens everywhere to both parties and its been going on forever so it equals out so just enact that voter choice thingy and we’ll all be okay anyway you can’t get perfection and there will always be fraud blah blah blah so nothing to see here just keep moving along. Sheesh. When you’re nullifying an election ya gotta have some help from somewhere, ya know?
People have apparently violated one of our nation’s most sacred laws - the right to vote. WE THE PEOPLE demand JUSTICE!
Thought it would be Broward.
This will end quickly if the cheaters are brought to trial, a very high visibility trial and punished to the full extent of the law INCLUDING having the right to vote either suspended for several yrs or else ended.
Thanks for post and postings. GREAT information. So, who will do what? What was their 1st clue?

Snipes used every trick in the book to get Democrats elected.
In fact she was so good, she was amply rewarded...... gracefully retiring with two public pensions (gag).
Remember when Snipes fixed Fla Cong Debbie W/S's election?
There was so much voter fraud, Snipes destroyed ballots from Wasserman-Schultz and Republican Tim Canova's 2016 primary race.
No evidence---no proof---Debbie was in, again.
The Sun Sentinel explained Snipes’s direct involvement: "A vast caldera of public rage has rightfully been aimed at Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Brenda Snipes over the last few years. ......but Wasserman-Schultz and Snipes are merely the public faces of an extensive, deeply problematic system of corruption......... mechanisms that allowed corrupt figures like Wasserman-Schultz, Brenda Snipes, the Awan brothers, and others to go unprosecuted."
Long lines and vote counts that continued long after polls closed marred elections in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2012, 2016 and this year.
Among other issues:
-- A court ruled she had broken election law when she destroyed ballots from the 2016 election 12 months after it, instead of the 22 months required by federal law.
-- A medical marijuana amendment was left off some ballots in 2016.
-- Election results in the 2016 primary were posted on the elections office’s website before polls closed, another violation of election law.
-- In 2012, almost 1,000 uncounted ballots were discovered a week after the election
-- In 2004, some 58,000 mail-in ballots were not delivered to voters, leaving election officials to scramble to send new ones....[snip]
.... Republicans say she is incompetent at best, corrupt at worst, and that she needs to go.
Pres Trump tweeted, “In the 2016 Election I was winning by so much in Florida that Broward County, which was very late with vote tabulation and probably getting ready to do a ‘number,’ couldn’t do it because not enough people live in Broward for them to falsify a victory!”...
