A Duval County investigation is under way into whether 22 sex offenders illegally voted in the 2020 election, expanding a prior probe that resulted in the rare arrest of a Jacksonville man on voter fraud charges.
The only arrest so far from those complaints occurred in April when XXXXX XXXXXXX, was charged with three counts of voter fraud punishable by up to five years in prison for each count. Crump told authorities he did not realize he was ineligible to vote, according to a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrest report.
He’s a Taxpayer? Good. Then he should have a right to vote on How his money is used. End of story.
Any lawmaker who disagrees with this basic ‘common sense’ logic needs their heads re-examined.
One thing that I think that is completely wrong is stopping us from voting in the federal elections. If Florida wants me not to vote in their state elections then so be it. but they should not be able to stop voting in the national elections. Just saying!!
Article I, Section 4, Clause 1, contemplates the times, places, and manner of holding elections being “prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof,” subject to alteration by Congress.
Congress can change that.
I’ll go one further. I can’t vote because of some unknown reason? No problem.
I just won’t pay taxes. I seem to recall something about no taxation without representation somewhere………
Sorry guys, this idiot bears the full weight of this one. I absolutely agree that the voting rights for felons issue that leaves us out is BS but this guy did what he did and is trying to play stupid in my opinion.
We’re fighting HARD to get ourselves made whole in regards to the registry and civil rights restoration and something like this sets us back in a huge way.
We fight false or misleading information, data, statistics, you name it, on a daily basis. Our truth, our correct information and data, is constantly and easily dismissed by the politicians we seek change through. When we try to push forward and use the truth as a tool for change we are discredited and they use things EXACTLY like this event to say “See, we TOLD you that these deviants and monsters were dangerous liars and predators. Don’t worry, WE are here to save you”……….
We CAN NOT keep shooting ourselves in the foot like this.
Maybe these cases will put the spotlight on why ex-sex offenders can’t vote. There is no rational reason. Let’s hear the state try to justify the reason(s) why in open court. It’s only because the State of Floriduh doesn’t want us to.
I too am concerned not only with framing registrants with voter fraud, but with the whole magilla of ID theft.
Concerned: Well folks, I may be one of those 22 voters that voted in 2020,
when I filled out the form I’m sure I checked that I was a felon and I wasn’t sure if my “rights” had been restored! Soon after I received my
voter registration card in the mail. What should I do now, hire a good lawyer?
The article said that “… Anyone with felony record for murder and sexual offenses still must go through the state’s clemency process to regain the right to vote.”
But in 2018 a federal judge found that very clemency process unconstitutional.
So, why is it okay to violate the constitutional rights of former sex offenders and former murders (without any due process)???
…Just sayin’
This is a disgusting waste of Florida tax dollars to prosecute people for wanting to have say in government. Also, it is a disgusting waste of legislation to prohibit Registrants from voting.
Here’s my message to the state:
Dear Florida,
F#CK YOU and the self-righteous horse you rode on.
Love,
State of California
That’s it! I’m moving to California. HAHHAHAHAHA
@ Rick: I was convicted in FL, but moved to California after my incarceration release. I certainly can’t speak for all, but CA has been amazingly good to me!! Truly, I love the great State of California! 🥰👍🏻
“What are you doing time for?”
Inmate 1 – “Murder”
Inmate 2 – “Drugs/kidnapping”
Inmate 3 – “Robbing a bank”
Inmate 4 – “Voting”
Yep…….Good thing Florida is keeping the rest of humanity safe from those illegal voters
Thankfully I can voyte in Nebraska, just as I did in Ohio. “Free” State of FloriDUH, what a joke.
In case you don’t know who Mark Glaeser is, he’s a random loser who has no friends and needs a new hobby.
I’ve been voting for over 20 years as a registrant with withheld adjudication. Am I suddenly ineligible? And whom would I definitively ask to be sure?
My son is adjudication withheld as well. Since technically you are not convicted you are eligible to vote
It would be way easy to harvest ballots by using identifying information belonging to RSOs. After all, the state makes much of our personal information public. Easy for someone to take thst information and enter a ballot with it. Puts the RSO on the hook.
That is why there is usually signature verification between what is on file for the voter and the ballot being signed. They can discard the ballot if the signature is not remotely close to what is on file.
It’s easy to forge signatures, especially in a digital age. All of us are vulnerable to ID theft and arrest because the state publishes much of our personal information on the web (including our recent photos) for anyone in the world to use on a whim. That’s the point to my previous post.
TS, Go further in looking at the problem Just Sayin pointed out.
