DeSantis Signs Bill into Law Creating Election Police Force

On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) signed a bill into law that mandates the creation of a new election police force, with the intention of patrolling voting locations to more effectively crack down on fraudulent practices.

As reported by Politico, the bill implements an idea that was first suggested by DeSantis himself, in the aftermath of widespread voter fraud in numerous key swing states during the 2020 election, which may have been enough to swing the results away from President Donald Trump and in favor of Joe Biden.

“I don’t think there’s any other place in the country that you should have more confidence that your vote counts than in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said at the signing of the bill, which took place at a sports bar outside Tampa Bay.

The law will see the creation of a new “Office of Election Crimes and Security” within the Florida Department of State, which is authorized to use additional investigators in the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The bill allocates $2.6 million for the creation of the task force, and sets aside 25 new positions within the two agencies for this purpose. In addition, the bill makes ballot-harvesting – the process of third parties collecting and returning someone else’s ballot – a felony. It also mandates that election supervisors screen voter rolls on an annual basis in order to continuously remove voters who are ineligible or who have moved to another location.

The bill was proposed even despite the fact that Florida was a rare example of a major swing state where little to no fraud took place in 2020, thus leading to Trump winning the state by a sizable margin of nearly 4 percent. Democrats cited this as an excuse to oppose the bill,

When governors Scott and DeSantis fumigated a few south Florida counties and fired election officials the voting in the state straightened out.

“I heard someone on the radio call DeSantis a little satan”

That was probly Nikki freed.....she thinks she’s gonna oust the supergovernor in the next election.

I heard she had a rally a few days ago and 10 people showed up.

As far as moving to Fla goes you better be aware of the following:

Besides the man eating sharks and alligators there are water moccasins, rattle snakes, mosquitoes, roaches that are commonly referred to as “palmetto bugs” that can get as big as at least the size of your thumb, mandatory professional termite tratments for homeowners, 90+ degree heat with 90% humidity much of the year, hurricanes, and the tornadoes that the hurricanes spawn, tropical storms and tropical depressions which can also spawn tornadoes.....these are just MOST of the things people should seriously consider before coming here...much less moving here.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention the lightning...Florida is the #1 state for lightning strikes in the U.S.

If you do the research you’ll find all this Information is accurate.

Best of luck to you if you decide to move here.

Every State should prevent fraudulent elections but nearly half of the States support fraudulent elections
