School board members all of the sudden in 2022 responsible for school shooting in 2018 when a state review showed the police were a problem. Supposedly these board members were supposed to forsee and make the school safe from active shooters before it happened.

Tallahassee, Fla. Today, Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Nikki Fried, an independently-elected member of the Florida Cabinet and the Florida Board of Executive Clemency, called for an investigation into the Florida Office of Election Crimes and Securitys decision toarrest 20 individuals for illegally voting even though the state had approved their voter registration applications as well as the failure of the Florida Department of States Division of Elections to identify the applicants as ineligible.
The letter reads in part: While under current law, these individuals were not eligible to vote, the persecution of this predominantly Black group of Floridians who broke the law without intent is not only disproportionate punishment but cruel. That cruelty is even more so as it becomes evident that what should have been investigated was how and why the state provided ineligible voters with registrations and that their traumatic arrests appear to have been done for pure publicity purposes, stoking fear and discouraging others who are eligible from exercising their rights to vote in the future.

It's NOT paranoid to doubt election integrity when a GOV is taking dark money and covering it up.
