The Republican Party Switched The Voter Registrations Of Democrats

The state Republican Party of Florida changed the voter registration of hundreds of low-income voters to Republican without their consent.

The Republican Party Switched The Voter Registrations Of Democrats

An investigation by the Miami Herald found:

"SNIP......

The pattern was repeated in low-income housing complexes throughout Hialeah and Little Havana, a Herald investigation found. A team of reporters visited eight locations where voter registration data showed unusually high numbers of voters switching from one party to another last year.

The reporters knocked on every door where someone’s party affiliation had changed. Four out of every five voters who spoke to the Herald — 141 in total — said that their party affiliation had been changed without their knowledge. In all but six cases, records show they were registered as Republicans by canvassers from the Republican Party of Florida. (Four of the others had recently moved and their registrations were sent through the DMV. And the remaining two were registered as Republicans, but by Democratic Party canvassers, records show.)

Republicans Are Committing Widespread Fraud In Florida

Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) wrote to Attorney General Garland and requested a Department of Justice investigation after it was reported that the same fraud was perpetrated against senior citizens in Miami-Dade County.

The Herald has advanced the story and provided a key piece of evidence by confirming that the voter registrations in Little Havana were changed by people who were working for the state Republican Party.

1. Let the crossing of t's and dotting of i's commence!

[LymphocyteLover]

23. what does that mean? Referring to Garland?

[Scrivener7]

28. Yes.

[KPN]

2. Seems like really good fodder for some kind of clkass action lawsuiut? Wreak havoc on those evil

bastards' personal finances. I would gladly contribute to funding that lawsuit.

[ShazzieB]

30. Just what I was going to say!

Unleash the lawyers and sue their asses off!

[onecaliberal]

3. But how can we know they meant to do it?

[LymphocyteLover]

24. Right... it was just an "accident"

[onecaliberal]

39. I mean, who among us hasn't been guilty of stealing super top secret government documents?

Just in case.

[bringthePaine]

4. they're a clear minority in a 2 party game - they hate minorities, and have no other hope

[rockfordfile]

5. I agree DOJ should investigate

[onecaliberal]

40. A LOT of things.

[SheltieLover]

6. Kicking for visability

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Thought DeSantis put together an election crimes unit. Or are they ones doing the switching?

[geardaddy]

21. Sounds like the Election Crimes unit

is doing fine by committing election crimes.

[XacerbatedDem]

44. Just what they were hired to do.

[Diraven]

8. Some nobody will be made the scapegoat

They will just say it was some subcontractor of a subcontractor who did it without their knowledge. There will be so much blame deflection that at most one or two canvassers making less than minimum wage will be forced to take the blame because they can't afford lawyers then we'll all forget about it.

9. You realize this could be fun

Florida Democrats: Everyone switch to the Republican Party. When the primaries come, advance a slate of seriously beatable candidates at all levels from Dogcatcher to Senator. Turn that state bluer than the ocean. And when the Democrats take office, let their first act be making party switching a 50-year felony.

[ancianita]

27. I thought of that.

Then I realized their Republican AG could indict us all for election fraud. They don't play down here.

Now that I have to establish residency, I'm afraid to even register as a Democrat. I'm going to, but I don't trust Florida record keeping or vote counting.

Besides, that is exactly how the Republicans have behaved, and I just can't.

[calimary]

29. I thought of that too.

Wouldn’t that make it hard to purge you from the voter lists?

Then you could write in all Democrats’ names for the primary, and then check the Democrat in the general.

[jmowreader]

34. We'd probably need to leave 10 percent of us on the Democratic rolls

Maybe we could decide on our one candidate at Democratic meetings before the primary.

[XacerbatedDem]

45. Or...

Maybe they could just refer all questions to their new surgeon general Dr. Ladapo. Yeah, I know, but he's got a non-answer for everything and nobody seems to care.

[monkeyman1]

10. this should be plastered everywhere in floriduh & nullify every republican in the state !!

[PufPuf23]

11. Just about every wrong and illegal act by the GOP is projected on the Democrats.

The pattern is tiring BS in my World.

GOP is not acting with fair intent but means to game our politics.

[liberal N proud]

13. republicans know about election fraud

Because republicans commit election fraud

[NewHendoLib]

14. Why of course they did. If Rs don't cheat, they don't win

[SunSeeker]

15. K & R for exposure.

[Ford_Prefect]

16. This is what we KNOW about. I don't like to think what they're getting up to behind closed doors.

We can expect this to be repeated in other GOP dominated states as well. It's what they do.

[RussBLib]

19. indeed

it seems there is nothing they won't do

still waiting for moderating voices to rise on the right

[Ford_Prefect]

26. I think we can expect no moderation from anyone in charge at the GOP. The Money won't allow it.

Likewise there seem to be few if any Republicans left who can say NO to Rovian dirty tricks. Their excuse is the "stolen election".

In North Carolina the state GOP leaders KNEW about this kind of thing going on because they were paying for it being done.

[getagrip_already]

17. to what end?

All they could do is mess up primaries, if florida is a party locked state that is.

They didn't unregister them. Why switch parties? Have they lost so much base they don't want people to notice?

[Aristus]

18. I didn't need anymore convincing that Florida is a shithole.

But thanks anyway...

[dlilafae]

20. applegrove, I do believe...

... that this is exactly why AG Garland needs to set a precident, and charge someone.

Metaphorically, hoist that person up on a flagpole, if you will - to let the rest of the nut jobs know, that enough, is enough!!!

[Bird Lady]

22. this is not the first time I've seen this report.

My question is, does it matter. When I go to vote I vote D. If I lived in Florida and they had changed my registration, does that preclude me from voting D? How can that happen?

[Ford_Prefect]

31. I doubt they'd waste time on it if there were not at least 3 effects which could be meaningful.

1. it supports the meme that elections are corrupt in some way. The fact it was their own party that did it doesn't matter in the larger scheme of GOP propaganda.
2. It generates a false set of registration numbers during the runup to the election. It creates the false expectation that some Democrats are changing parties supposedly due to dissatisfaction with Biden and Dems in Congress.
3. It lays the ground for later challenges of registered voters during the main event and in the processing of mail-in ballots.

It will matter as it always has in the past. You may feel your registration and right to vote is secure. Perhaps that is true in your precinct. It has been at issue for some time in other districts and precincts. ANYTHING the GOP does to shave off votes is to our detriment. They do it because it works often enough to make a difference.

[FakeNoose]

32. It means they can't vote in the Democratic primary

...and you're correct they would still be able to vote for any candidate in the general election. A lot of D's never bother with primary voting (in other states too) so this might not even be a serious issue.

It's just further proof what assholes the Repukes are.

[Stuart G]

25. Thank You for posting...K and R.

[turbinetree]

33. Hey John Roberts, Sinema, and Manchin, now what do you think....

think that filibuster is still worth it.....and I know that this is state issue in some respects but it is also a federal issue...

[madville]

35. Sounds Odd

Wonder how a door-to-door canvaser allegedly changed that many peoples' party affiliation. In FL to use the online tool or to successfully submit the paper voter application you generally need the person's FL DL/ID card # and the last 4 digits of their SS#. Seems strange they would get that many people to give them that info in such a specific area.

Like others have said, not sure what the ultimate point would be, they could still vote in the general elections regardless, the only impact would be they would be restricted to voting in that particular party's primary races.

[SledDriver]

36. Say it with me...

[liberalla]

37. Damn these people! Thank God it was discovered!

I am SO mad!

[Yellowdog88]

38. As others have said: to what end

Nothing happens in that cesspool of corruption without a very good reason. 4 out of every 5 of these voters claimed it was without their knowledge?

So why? Yes, it prevents them from voting in a primary that was already decided.

Could it be that they now had access to information that could get them their ballot or return it for them? harvesting? Harass them? Was the language barrier an important feature of this operation? Who did these people vote for?

This was an area that swung WILDLY in favor of Bum45. Why?

If there is a dirtball way to siphon votes, they'll do it. See Kanye West operations run by known republican rat fuckers. The challenged ballots thrown out for "signature matching" and voter purges.

Get Greg Palast on this YESTERDAY!! It had to affect the final Florida counts. They missed the polling by A LOT, if I recall correctly.

[lefthandedskyhook]

41. The criminals are commiting crimes?

Whodathunkit?

[hippywife]

42. Proving once again...

that since they know they can't win fairly in the battle of ideas, they cheat.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

43. I notice they switched the votes of low income

People,the least able to follow up on thier applications.
