A Florida teenager and her mother stand accused of rigging a homecoming election last fall. Both will be prosecuted as adults, local prosecutors told the media on Tuesday.
Emily Rose Grover, 18, was still a minor when she and her mother, Laura Rose Carroll, 50, allegedly hacked into the Escambia County School District’s internal computer system in order to game the outcome of an October 2020 homecoming court vote.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) began investigating the incident in November 2020 after the school district reported unauthorized access into hundreds of student accounts.
The district flagged hundreds of votes as suspicious after noticing that 117 votes had been cast from the same IP address during a short time period. Grover allegedly cast those 117 votes for herself through by way of an online voting system called Election Runner.
In total, FDLE investigators said they discovered that some 246 votes had been cast by the mother-daughter duo to secure the win.
Grover’s allegedly fraudulent ascension to Tate High School homecoming queen was aided by her mother’s employment within the school district as an assistant principal at nearby Bellview Elementary School, authorities said.
Hell yes, put every resource you have to go after that. But the president of U.S.A. election can be fought the opposite way. Put all resources to make sure it is illegal. Very sad. If these people are facing time the crime family of damorat’s should be buried under the gray bar hotel. They would be under every hotel in the country.

That’s the difference between Florida and Washington DC.
Why have a queen? I thought in today’s confused society that everyone is the same. Their all winners, all get a trophy. Look at how many hurt children there will be if they have one queen. Lol
They caught on quick, didn’t they?
They are training to be future democrat election officials.
Damn, are they crazy?
Can’t make this stuff up!
Hey, if this young lady (or mom) has hacking skills – sign them up to one of the alphabet agencies!!!! Don’t teach them a lesson by jail time while WE (taxpayers) foot the bill!
Put them to work or send the youngin into the military!
Salisbury has a bunch of “Queens” and our Mayor even promotes a parade for them!!!
But when it’s a presidential election there’s a huge coverup
This is a parable. Think 2020 election.
