Greetings from Nazi Florida
The Nation, 9/11/2024
According to multiple reports, DeSantis has been using his Department of Election Crimes and Security—a task force he ordered the Florida legislature to create in 2022 to investigate the false and unfounded claims of voter fraud that Republicans like to make whenever people of color vote in ways that displease them—to accost Florida residents in their homes. The action that triggered DeSantis’s ire appears to be a petition these residents signed to add Amendment 4 to the November ballot. Amendment 4 would codify the right to an abortion in Florida’s Constitution. The amendment seeks to undo what DeSantis did when he signed a six-week abortion ban into law in Florida.
People who have been harassed report that state police officers have shown up at their homes and asked if they signed the petition—and then required them to show state identification before the officers would leave. In at least one case, a person was asked if a family member had signed the petition and warned that the relatives could be the “victim” of identity fraud.
