With the election Overtime period in the Deep South coming to an end and Republicans protecting their victories in Georgia and Florida the details of the vote-finding madness are still coming to light. At least one investigation might already be taking shape. Florida officials have referred swamp state Democrats to federal prosecutors to look into evidence of an incorrect mail-in form.
If federal prosecutors accept the challenge, that would put the investigation of the Florida Democrats under the jurisdiction of acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker. The Florida Democratic Party, which nominated Andrew Gillum for governor, is now the subject of massive public scrutiny all over America.
After saying earlier in the week that the State officials were trying divert attention away from the Department of State, which is part of Gov. Rick Scotts administration, the Democrats on Friday took a different approach: They lawyered up.

I hope they prosecute and jail all the cheating democRATs. They need to make a statement on prosecuting cheating before 2020.

Dems depend on fraud to win. Lots of illegals/non-citizens voting. Interesting map.

They want to win, and can’t win much if they don’t cheat.

National Voter ID card will fix this.
Once the crimes of voter fraud are made public, people will want clean elections. Except of course the hardcore Dems, but they are in the minority.

Election fraud isn’t up to Congress to deal with, it’s the DOJ.

The DemocRATS are the ones that'll be going to PRISON !
Read
this from Florida :
Unaltered Document:
Altered Document:
Let's read the article AGAIN:
... The altered forms surfaced in Broward, Santa Rosa, Citrus and Okaloosa counties and were reported to federal prosecutors to review for possible election fraud as Florida counties completed a required recount in three top races.
But an email obtained by the USA TODAY NETWORK - Florida shows that Florida Democrats were organizing a broader statewide effort beyond those counties to give voters the altered forms to fix improper absentee ballots AFTER the Nov. 5 deadline.
Democratic party leaders provided staffers with copies of a form, known as a "cure affidavit," that had been modified to include an inaccurate Nov. 8 deadline.
One Palm Beach Democratic activist said in an interview the idea was to have voters fix and submit as many absentee ballots as possible with the altered forms
in hopes of later including them in vote totals if a judge ruled such ballots were allowed.
...
An email that Jennifer Kim, Florida Democratic Partys central deputy field director, sent Nov. 7 to party workers instructing them how to give voters an altered form to fix signature problems with their absentee ballots after the state deadline.
Kims email shows this is a statewide effort to give voters the altered form with the wrong deadline to return it.
The altered forms have turned up in several counties and have been turned over to federal prosecutors to review for possible election fraud.
... State Democratic Party Chair Terrie Rizzo wrote on a private Facebook page that efforts to fix ballots should be focused on provisional ballots, which were handled separately with a Nov. 8 deadline for voters to fix any issues.
"Hi all. Once again, to clarify: the activity taking place today is for provisional ballots.
Not absentee ballots," Rizzo's note read.
... It is not clear how many altered forms were sent across the state, but Kim's email outlined a step-by-step process for volunteers and staffers to follow
in order to get as many voters as possible to submit the altered form three days AFTER the deadline.
The voters MUST print out the form and sign it by hand, Kim wrote in the email that attached copies of the altered forms in both English and Spanish.
The email also included a sheet with the contact information of all election supervisors in the state.
The document Kim attached to her email was an altered state form to fix an absentee ballot with signature problems.
The altered form modified the original state document by replacing the deadline identified as
"no later than 5 p.m. on the day before the election"
with a new deadline "no later than 5 p.m. Thursday Nov. 8."
Kim's email instructed staff and volunteers to use the list of voters to contact about their signature problems on the absentee ballots,
to complete the form on the phone with the voter
and to email the completed form to the voter.
The voter was instructed to print the form and to sign it.
And Kim's email instructed the party workers to tell voters to deliver the signed form to their local election office.
Kim told staffers that voters should reply back to them AFTER they delivered the forms at the party's email, vote@floridadems.org.
That email was also included in documents Florida election officials referred to federal prosecutors in connection to the altered forms received by Broward and the other three counties.
If needed (party) staff or volunteer should go pick up their affidavit and deliver it for them if they are not able to deliver by 5 p.m. Thursday. (Each office should identify a runner that can do this.), her email states.
We will also follow with a tracking system for people who we send affidavits," Kim told staffers.
Pam Keith, a Palm Beach County Democratic activist, came under fire Wednesday after Republicans circulated a screenshot of a Nov. 7 deleted tweet she sent to about 22,000 of her Twitter followers,
encouraging people to fix their absentee ballots two days after the state-mandated deadline.
Keith told the USA TODAY NETWORK - Florida that she was aware the deadline to submit "cure affidavits" had expired
but she told people there was still time to fix their absentee ballots.
She then directed voters to email Katharine Priegues, a field organizer with the Florida Democratic Party,
with the subject line "I want to help" for instructions on what to do.
"I was trying to show that if given notice, voters would try to fix their ballots," Keith said.
"I was putting the word out because I was anticipating a challenge of that deadline (in court)."
... Federal law defines election fraud to include preventing voters from participating in a federal election "through such tactics as disseminating false information"
about the race, as outlined in an Oct. 25 letter to the state department by Assistant U.S. Attorney Harry C. Wallace in Miami.
Wallace, who is handling federal election complaints in Florida, declined to comment when contacted about an investigation into the altered forms.
Making or using an altered form is a criminal offense under Florida law, wrote Bradley McVay, the state departments lawyer, when he referred the altered forms circulated in Broward and three other counties to federal prosecutors.
More fundamentally, altering a form in a manner that provides the incorrect date for a voter to cure a defect (or an incorrect method as it related to provisional ballots)
imposes a burden on the voter significant enough to frustrate the voters ability to vote.
IF we really want to combat this FRAUD,
then we must prosecute these criminals,
and PUNISH THEM with fines and jail time
to the MAXIMUM EXTENT OF THE LAW !

Whitaker is a Trump loyalist.
Based on what exactly? He was sessions CoS, he has been part of the deep state and he has already told linda that does not see anything wrong with mueller or how he is conducting his investigation. I don't trust whitaker any more then sessions or comey.

With all these people coming in and being sent to RED states in time for 2020, I have little hope.

The congress and the DOJ are not doing anything. The only thing left is citizens arrest. The citizens can interrogate and get all necessary evidence. If DOJ does nothing then they are an accomplice and the citizens will have to deal with them too.

We may have turned a corner in American electoral politics - finally, an admission that vote fraud actually exists

This could be the foot in the door the Fed’s need to go over every aspect of the Broward county election results. Including checking every person in the registry to see if they are a legal voter.

Here's how left-wing lawyers work in the courtroom: Find something obscure and irrelevant to focus on, then rant on and on about it. Then find something else obscure and irrelevant; repeat. Object to everything the other side says, if they say the sky is blue.
Accuse everyone of lying while spewing out lies at 1,000 mph. Make a complete circus out of the court while the hapless judge looks like an idiot.
The only way a judge can stop it is to hammer down hard and jail the first 5 or 10 for contempt of court (the left have lots of lawyers in reserve to replace them.) But there are not many judges in the world that can handle left wing lawyers running at full blast.

How do you know that the DOJ is not doing anything? I’d appreciate a source for that statement.
Congress makes laws, it doesn’t enforce them or arrest law breakers.

Thanks for all that.
I am sure the DOJ is doing its job in this matter.
