falls squarely on the department of state and the division of elections. guess who appointed the head of both of those agencies? it was ron desantis. those agencies have access to a database against which they are obligated again by state law to check for felonies convictions. they failed to do so for all 20 of the defendants who were arrested, some by swat teams at 6 am in the morning. now the governor has sent his police to go arrest and prosecute them even though the state of florida greenlight id their registration and then sent them cards saying congratulations, you are now a registered voter and you can participate in florida elections. so all 20 people were successfully registered in violation of the duty that was on state election officials appointed by ron desantis to actually check whether or not they were eligible?
