A prosecutor in Florida has charged at least five inmates with felony voter fraud after an investigation into a democrat led registration drive that was held inside the jail
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement had been investigating complaints about jail inmates who ware illegally voting since the middle of last year, those inmates allegedly registered as voters by the office of Kim A. Barton, the democrat Supervisor of Elections in Alachua County.
The registration drive was held in July of 2020 just months before the Presidential election, when the former Director of Communications and outreach for Barton, T.J. Pyche, visited the jail for roughly two hours, according to jail visitor logs. He resigned shortly after the state investigation began.
According to registration records the men charged had listed the county jail on their voter forms as their home address, . At least four voted in the 2020 elections.
“I just knew it was to good to be true and the guy told me it was OK to vote as a felon,” said one of the men, Henry Thomas Shuler III, 38, of Gainesville.
Alachua is one of 12 counties in Florida’s 67 counties that voted Democrat in that election.
Trump won Florida by almost 400,000 votes.
