Florida voter has election fraud charges touted by DeSantis dismissed

A Florida man had his election fraud charges dismissed on Friday, making him the first of 20 people who Gov. Ron DeSantis announced had been charged with voter fraud in August, to beat his case.

The ruling by a Miami judge may now pave the way for similar motions and rulings in the other 19 election fraud cases, which garnered national attention and controversy when they were announced on Aug. 18. DeSantis said at the time that they were the "opening salvo" by Florida's newly funded Office of Election Crimes and Security to crack down on voter fraud.

Per the article:

But a judge found on Friday that the statewide prosecutor did not have jurisdiction over one case in Miami. Statewide prosecutors, which are an extension of the Attorney General's office, are prosecuting all of the election fraud cases that were brought in August.

In order for the statewide prosecutor to have jurisdiction, the crimes alleged must have occurred in at least two judicial circuits.

The judge agreed with the defense's argument that the alleged violations, applying to vote and voting while ineligible, only occurred in Miami-Dade County. Thus, the statewide prosecutor was found to not have jurisdiction.

It sounds as though the law creating the voter fraud attack force is flawed. Oops, another RW fail!
 
DeSantis is as much a piece of shit as is Trump.

The MAGA contingent has a knack for choosing chumps.

Yep. They want candidates/politicians who toe the TrumpParty line, who will toss any ethics and principles they might possess, and who will act as much like the orange shitgibbon as possible.
 
Nothingburger article. I do however find it both interesting and predictable that the left would cheer an election cheater getting off on a technicality. How very typical.
 
The left could actually care less that the person in question did actually commit,...you know,...ELECTION FRAUD. Yes.....interesting indeed. ;)
 
since no link was provided I looked it up.....

therefore, even though 19 people in 19 different localities committed the fraud, since each of them only did it in one voting precinct only the prosecutor in charge of that locality can bring charges.......its a blue city soft on crime fail........note to Flash.......do you see what I meant about state v local prosecutors?.......

obviously not a DeSantis fail.....

You might want to read up about what these people were charged for. They believed, as parolees, that their right to vote had been restored. Is it fraud if the voter didn't know he wasn't allowed to vote?

Defendants targeted in DeSantis’ voter fraud crackdown were told they could vote

Yes. Ever heard of ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law? These situations happen every day and people are prosecuted. Not the laws fault people are too lame to know it.

It's amazing how those on the right support malicious prosecutions that violate the law and then complain about searches that clearly follow the law.

It depends on the law. If the law requires that someone willingly or knowingly violate it then ignorance means the law was not broken. The Florida voting law that they are being charged with requires intent. If the state gave them a voting card then they have a defense that proves they didn't violate the letter of the law.
