Florida Election Fraud: Noncitizens and Felons Charged in Voting Crackdown
Officials say 16 noncitizens and four felons face third-degree felony charges after investigators reviewed voter records and federal immigration data.
- On Thursday, Governor Ron DeSantis and Attorney General James Uthmeier announced 20 arrests across Florida for illegal voting in the 2024 election, targeting individuals accused of registering and casting ballots despite being ineligible noncitizens or convicted felons.
- Florida created the Office of Election Crimes and Security in 2022 to investigate election offenses; DeSantis credits the office with more than 100 prosecutions since its inception. Investigators coordinated with federal databases and county supervisors of elections to identify ineligible voters.
- The 20 charged individuals include 16 noncitizens who claimed U.S. citizenship to register and four convicted felons who voted while on probation. These ballots represent 0.0000018% of the more than 11 million votes cast in Florida during the 2024 general election.
- Former Justice Department lawyer David Becker called the announcement "odd," saying it was improper for government agencies to "bring these kinds of claims" so close to the federal election arriving 40 days later. Critics including Florida Democratic House Leader Fentrice Driskell questioned the timing as potential voter intimidation.
- Statewide Prosecutor Brad McVay stated the investigation remains active and ongoing, with additional arrests expected in coming months. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services continues to assist state authorities in verifying citizenship status for registered voters across Florida.
