Bodycam footage reveals that several of the 20 people arrested in Florida for allegedly voting illegally in 2020 were unaware they had committed a crime. The arrests followed Governor Ron DeSantis’ crackdown on voter fraud, targeting those with felony murder or sex offense convictions, who are ineligible under state law,
Many had registered and voted after receiving voter cards, believing they were eligible. Critics argue Florida lacks a proper voter verification system, and the arrests could discourage other eligible felons from voting. Advocacy groups are assisting those charged with legal support.
