THE GAPING HOLES IN THE WRITE-IN BALLOT RULES NEED TO BE CLOSED UP! Florida is just one of so many states that are ripe for voter fraud!

Two Haitian immigrant Florida politicians took extreme measures to make sure the people in the community voted for them. This is disturbing:

“Candidates watched over their shoulders, telling them who to vote for.”

A Palm Beach County commissioner and a state House member clinched their seats last year by stepping into voters’ homes and helping them fill out their mail-in ballots, a Palm Beach Post investigation has found.

Commissioner Mack Bernard and Rep. Al Jacquet, both Democrats running in the August primary, took advantage of gaping holes in Florida’s vote-by-mail laws to pressure and cajole voters in their living rooms.
