The Florida Department of State is investigating evidence of fraudulent abortion amendment petition gathering, a department spokesman told The Daily Wire Friday.
“The Department of State has uncovered evidence of illegal conduct with fraudulent petitions,” the spokesman said. “We have a duty to seek justice for Florida citizens who were victimized by fraud and safeguard the integrity of Florida’s elections.”
“Our office will continue this investigation and make referrals to FDLE [Florida Department of Law Enforcement] as appropriate,” he added.
The news comes after The Tampa Bay Times suggested that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was engaging in “political interference” when his deputy secretary of state asked supervisors to review around 36,000 signatures gathered in Hillsborough, Orange, Palm Beach, and Osceola counties.
Activists working with the pro-abortion group Floridians Protecting Freedom have collected almost 1 million signatures as part of an effort to get Amendment 4 on the ballot in November. The radical measure would supersede Florida’s law protecting unborn babies with a heartbeat, and would establish a “constitutional right to abortion before fetal viability,” that is, before the baby can survive outside the womb.
