DeSantis: Fraudulent Petitions Used To Put Abortion Amendment On Ballot

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis addressed a brewing scandal in the sunshine state as law enforcement officials are going to thousands of people’s homes to see if they signed petitions to support putting a radical abortion amendment on the ballot.

Amendment 4 is so extreme and dangerous that the state of Florida has deployed resources to warn voters how the amendment actually puts women’s health and safety at risk.

DeSantis said at a press conference on Monday that law enforcement has launched an investigation after receiving a wide range of complaints about the group that submitted the petition for the amendment to appear on the ballot.

“And turns out they looked, this group submitted, dozens of petitions on behalf of dead people,” DeSantis said. “They saw those petitions being submitted. There are other, petitions that have actually been validated where the signatures do not match the voter file. So they were getting all of those complaints, and they’re doing what they’re supposed to do. They’re following the law, and they’re ensuring that anyone that broke the law is gonna be held accountable.”

““And turns out they looked, this group submitted, dozens of petitions on behalf of dead people,”

Well it’s all about ‘more dead people’, unborn.

Hope and pray:

1. The amendment fails.
2. Those who used fraudulent petitions are prosecuted.
