Florida’s Governor Makes Smart Proposal to Go After Election Crimes. So Corrupt Media Attacks Him.
The Daily Signal ^ | January 26, 2022 | Hans von Spakovsky

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a good idea with his budget proposal to create an “election crimes agency” that would “investigate election crimes and irregularities and make referrals for further legal action directly to a statewide prosecutor.”

Florida should implement it, and other states should follow. In fact, state legislators should make sure that a statewide prosecutor’s office has jurisdiction to prosecute all such election cases, especially when local prosecutors fail to act.

Ensuring the integrity of elections and protecting voters from fraud is simply too important to leave the investigation and prosecution of crimes that subvert elections to the whims of local prosecutors. All too often, they lack the training or aren’t interested in pursuing such cases.

This problem has gotten worse with the election of rogue prosecutors with funding from the radical left, such as Monique Worrell and predecessor Aramis Ayala in Florida’s Orange and Osceola counties. Such prosecutors aren’t interested in actively prosecuting many serious crimes, including election fraud.

It should come as no surprise that the DeSantis proposal is drawing ire from left-wing journalists and activists, who repeat their theme that election fraud isn’t a serious issue and doesn’t merit any sort of concentrated attention and mitigating effort.

During a November press conference, Florida’s Republican governor unveiled his proposal to allocate $5.7 million to operate an election crimes agency.

In his State of the State speech Jan. 11, DeSantis emphasized the importance of such an office to ensure “that our citizens have the ability to participate in elections that are secure and transparent.”

Vehement opposition to claims of election fraud led media outlets to generate a storm of articles decrying what they say is DeSantis’ ill-intentioned commitment to an imaginary issue.

DeSantis election task force: another reason to be glad I moved from Maryland to Florida. Hopefully, it will get past the RINOs leading the state House and Senate.

If you don’t prosecute election crimes you are a racist.

Two can play that game.

No one is questioning where the 800,000 votes went in Virginia. From The presidential election to the gubernatorial election, Virginia lost around 800,000 votes. Is anyone else curious?

left-wing journalists and activists, who repeat their theme that election fraud isn’t a serious issue and doesn’t merit any sort of concentrated attention."

So it's OK if the Republicans that probably have much better planning, coordination, IT and execution skills engage in election fraud as well?

How about defrauding the left-wing journalists and activists with phony leftist organizations that will take their money and secretly video them discussing THEIR election fraud?

Is that not a serious issue and doesn’t merit any sort of concentrated attention as well?

Because busting the progs at their own game would be AWESOME fun.

Nope! This would just create another bureaucratic Deep State layer. What is needed is to infiltrate moles into the RAT hierarchy to document election abuses ala Project Veritas.

Since the media is attacking him relentlessly, they should start ARRESTING PRESSTITUTES for Stalking, Trespassing, Disorderly Conduct,...every time a presstitutes vehicle is NOT parked Legally, just like everyone else has to, IMPOUND THE VEHICLE. ANY and every LAW they violate, you inflict Maximum Punishment

OUTLAW and ELIMINATE all Special Rights

Politicians and media should be gone after. No reason Americans should have to put up with daily lies and propaganda pumped into our homes. That’s the way you root out the communist. You arrest them.

Good for DeSantis... he's identified 'COMMIE/SOROS prosecutors' who work FOR CRIMINALS, FOR CRIME, AND FOR CHEATS.
