I dug around a little; the Sheriff & DWS are definitely close and appear to have campaigned together. In passing one anon notes that the info on Cruz was passed right to the alphabets who “passed” along with Broward County. Also ironic is that in various local FLA news articles, Sheriff Israel was sworn in by a circuit court judge, Ilona Holmes, and she had a run-in with (others in) the Sheriff’s office at some time which reportedly got a little dicey when Holmes pulled her gun! (the horror! she must have been under the control of the NRA)
