I worked in a major Florida elections office from 1974 until retirement in 2010 with just a few stops for having children. This is a bad bill and is designed to make the system non-trustworthy and non-transparent. Please don’t let this bill pass. Florida will regret it if it happens.

It’s just not a real audit. You have to have the paper ballots in front of you to do a proper audit. Did the machine correctly count the paper ballots? That can’t be done with images unless you audit the paper ballots with the images first and that would be dumb. Just leave the law alone.

Yes, it destroys proper chain of custody.

What can people OUTSIDE Florida do to speak out on SB 1414?

Share it on your social media. Florida is being held up as the Gold Standard, but in reality, I think they are using it ultimately attack and co-op the MAGA movement. Also study what they are trying to do because if not for working with the folks in Georgia, I would have never picked up on the legal sleight of hand. The states are trying to push us into a digital elections were all the artifacts can be digitally rigged.

Trump and Elon are calling for a return to hand count paper ballots for a reason. You can't fix this current system.

I sure hope you're in contact with Gov. Desantis and their Attorney General, etc!!!

Uh..DeSantis is probably behind this change. He is currently trying to run his wife for Gov. If they can keep the rigged elections in FL, he will probably use the election to get nominated for president in 2028 and possibly hi-jack the MAGA movement from the grass roots.

DeSantis is as conniving and sleazy as they come. And really, not that smart, his credit aside. You, Kris, are a prince among men! So glad we have you!
