Florida has as many as 85,000 illegal voters registered in the state, election official testifies
May 5, 2020 | Jon Dougherty
In the modern era, Florida has become the country’s premier presidential “battleground†state, where razor-thin victories by candidates can and have decided outcomes.
That’s the best reason why the state should have impeccable voter registration rolls. But, according to state officials, it doesn’t.
In fact, according to Politico, Florida’s Division of Election director Maria Matthews testified in federal court Monday that there could be as many as 85,000 illegal voters registered in the state, and worse, they’re not likely to all be removed in time for the 2020 presidential contest.
Matthews said state elections officials have flagged thousands of voters who’ve been convicted of felonies. Some may now be actually serving their prison sentences, while others have served time for murder or sex offenses — both of which make them ineligible to vote under Amendment 4, which ends Florida’s lifetime ban on voting for most who have been convicted of felonies.
