Ron DeSantis’ election police arrested 20 former felons for unknowingly casting improper ballots, but as stevebenen writes, a GOP state attorney in a GOP part of the state passed on prosecuting effectively identical cases.
A Republican state attorney last May declined to prosecute six voter fraud cases that involved circumstances strikingly similar to the cases later brought against 20 ex-felons by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ election police unit and statewide prosecutors.
And why is it, pray tell, that the local Republican prosecutor’s office passed on these fraud cases? According to the Sentinel’s, Gladson and his staff concluded that the fraud wasn’t deliberate — and therefore couldn’t be prosecuted. At first blush, this wouldn’t be especially notable. Six former felons were caught casting ballots they weren’t supposed to cast, but these Floridians were under the mistaken impression that they could legally vote. Indeed, they were even given voter-ID cards by state agencies.break the law, so their Republican state attorney didn’t feel the need to file charges.
