In the battle over voting rights, an idea is starting to move around in Republican circles: designated police forces designed to hunt down voter fraud. On the basis of available evidence, this is a solution in search of a problem. It is another example of what comes from former president Donald Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has put a proposal for such a force in his new budget. In Georgia, former U.S. senator David Perdue, who is running as a Trumpian candidate in the GOP primary for governor against incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R), says he wants something like it to assure that only legal votes are counted.
DeSantis’s new budget calls for $5.7 million for his Office of Election Crimes and Security. The money would pay for 52 staffers, including 20 sworn law enforcement officers and 25 non-sworn investigators, with field offices around the state. The team would go after “election crimes and irregularities” and have the power to refer findings to a statewide prosecutor.
DeSantis’s office provided background material that noted that the governor does not have law enforcement responsibilities and that the governor would not direct the team to pursue specific allegations.
“The governor simply wants to ensure that Floridians will have a clear, straightforward way to report suspected voter fraud, and that a dedicated team of law enforcement personnel can address it in accordance with the law,” Christina Pushaw, DeSantis’s press secretary, said in an email.
The unit would be housed in the office of the Florida secretary of state, where the incumbent is Laurel M. Lee. The secretary of state in Florida is appointed by the governor, not elected independently.

In college people used to vote ‘back home’ and also at college, since they lived in both places and thus were affected by who ran both places.
When I asked one of them about getting caught, they said they didn’t worry because they lived out of state and they didn’t check, at least back then. As to double voting for the president and Congress, their only response was that they would do ANYTHING to prevent ‘Fascism’ from taking hold - which means preventing a Republican from winning.
Failed English majors like Dan have problems with math and numbers.
Can you hear the angst in Balz's editorial voice here, lamenting the fact that the Soros Foundation can't buy the office of the Florida Secretary of State, unlike in other third-world Blue states like Minnesota, Colorado, Arizona or Michigan?
A good tune-up, then a proper hanging, to “encourage the others”.
Which means it's a great idea.
Add random fake names to voter rolls in swing states to see if any of the non-existent citizena 'voted'.
Hire Brinks to pick up ballots from all precincts BY A SET TIME. Fraud is done AFTER people know how many votes are needed to" 'not be obvious', to NOT trigger a c a 'recount' or to not add so few there's a loss. This isn't rocket science.
Place cameras outside voting stations to count the number of citizens voting at every precinct.
$10,000 reward for turning in a person doing voter fraud of over 30 votes if there's a conviction.
And last but not least, do a random mail survey of citizens who 'voted' to see if in fact they did vote.

I like it.
DeSantis needs to call this a ‘VOTER RIGHTS BILL’ - because this act will preserve the sanctity of the vote for ALL citizens.
And we're all against theft, right Dan Balz ...
Thanks GOPJ.
