Florida County Officials Investigated for Registering Jail Inmates to Vote in 2020 Election

Election officials in Alachua County, Florida, are being investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for allegedly registering to vote inmates at the county jail for the 2020 presidential election.

This week, local media confirmed that officials at the Alachua County Supervisor of Election’s Office are under investigation for alleged voter fraud. The report indicates that election officials allegedly registered inmates at the Alachua County Jail to vote in the 2020 election.

Specifically, voting records for 18 inmates at the jail are being reviewed to see if Alachua County Supervisor of Election’s Office illegally registered them to vote.

A report by the Alachua Chronicle notes that the Ward Scott Files, a local podcast first started investigating the issue earlier this year:

The Ward Scott Files investigation found that of the 18 who voted from the jail, 10 had recent convictions before voting in the 2020 general election and were thus still serving their sentences at the time of the election, a clear violation of the law. 12 of the inmates who voted are now in state prison, and 4 are awaiting trial for battery, kidnapping, homicide, and murder. All 18 owe fines, fees, and/or restitution from cases that precede their registrations and/or ballots.
