DeSantis Axes Villages GOP Pols After Perjury Arrests
Two county commissioners in central Florida were suspended from office Thursday, several weeks after being arrested and charged with lying during an investigation of possible Sunshine Law violations.
Governor Ron DeSantis issued two executive orders to remove Sumter County commissioners Oren Miller and Gary Search from their elected offices until their criminal cases are resolved, in accordance with state law. Miller and Search were arrested December 15th and charged with perjury.
DeSantis, Miller, and Search are all Republicans. Miller and Search are both residents of The Villages, a massive retirement community where four residents have now been charged with casting multiple ballots in the 2020 general election for Donald Trump.
The Villages USPS Worker Stole 4,000 Pieces of Mail
In a criminal complaint filed on January 4th, U.S. postal inspector David Keith detailed how he found Miranda Farleigh, a 25-year-old former employee of the U.S. Postal Service, had committed theft when she rifled through approximately 4,000 pieces of mail, all of which appeared to hold a holiday and/or greeting card.
Farleigh's parents also played a role in the investigation, as both are also letter carriers. They found tubs of rifled mail in their daughter's bedroom and car, and reported it to the local Postmaster in late November last year. A few days later, Farleigh admitted to opening mail containing greeting cards in order to steal money and gift cards.
Keith's complaint says that Farleigh went as far as admitting that she specifically targeted mail that was intended for a retirement community called The Villages, blaming a heroin addiction as the cause of her criminal behavior.
Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
I'm sure he'll change his mind when Trump becomes beneficial to his election prospects again. The GOP seem to have adopted a different set of Marxist ideals.

There's really two options for him now, be ostracized by the Trump GOP like Cheney and Kinsinger are, or as Jaden said, reverse himself when politically convenient.
Trump's already attacked him, setting his the dogs lose and called him a "jerk".
Hidden Camera Shows WI GOP Rep Telling Cultists to Cheat in Coming Elections
A newly minted Republican lawmaker told a group of visitors to his Capitol office that Republicans need to "cheat like the Democrats or bend the rules" to win upcoming elections, according to a hidden camera video posted online.
Representative Elijah Behnke also calls Assembly Speaker Robin Vos a "swamp creature" and threatens to punch Democratic Governor Tony Evers in a wide-ranging 27-minute video posted Thursday in which he appears to be speaking with people espousing debunked election conspiracies.
One of the visitors appears to be discreetly taking the video and it does not appear Behnke knows he is on camera.
GOP Operatives Change Party Affiliation of Florida Seniors
Despite the security at Haley Sofge Towers, a Miami-Dade public housing building, people with clipboards and Republican Party of Florida caps were in the hallways, door knocking.
It made registered NPA Armando Selva suspicious. "They said, 'We're doing the renewals on the voter registration, would you like to renew?" Selva recalled.
Resident Juan Carlos Salazar was not suspicious at the time. "I didn't do anything, but they changed the party," Salazar said, adding he noticed, "when they sent me the new registration." He wasn't the only elderly resident at the public housing to come forward and say the same thing happened to them.
Miami-Dade Elections Department 2021–22 records show more than 5,000 registered Democrats had their party affiliation switched to Republican. The increase comes just as more victims of third-party registrations are coming forward to report that their voter registration was altered without their permission.
All of the victims were older than 65 years old, live in Miami-Dade County, and all of them were outraged when they learned they were registered as Republicans. "People are being taken advantage of," Senator Annette Taddeo said. "Lots of these people don’t speak English or are elderly."
The State Bureau of Investigation is looking into allegations that a former Trump aide who once represented North Carolina in Congress may have committed voter fraud.
Nazneen Ahmed, spokeswoman for Attorney General Josh Stein's office, confirmed the investigation into Donald Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows after the New Yorker first reported that the former congressman registered to vote in September 2020 using an address of a mobile home he had never visited.
Meadows has been a proponent of voter fraud conspiracy theories and has helped spread false claims that the 2020 election of President Joe Biden was stolen.
Mark and Debra Meadows submitted voter registration forms that listed as their home a mobile home with a rusted metal roof that sold for $105,000 in 2021, even though they had never lived there. North Carolina officials announced last week that Mark Meadows is under investigation for potential voter fraud.
Reporting shows that in 2020 Debra Meadows signed three forms—a voter registration form, an absentee ballot request for her husband, and the one-stop application—that warned of legal consequences if falsely completed and signed.
She also cast a ballot in a 2020 primary runoff using an address that was no longer valid for voting.
A former Trump administration official now running for Congress in New Hampshire voted twice during the 2016 primary election season, violating federal voting law and leaving him at odds with the Republican Party's intense focus on "election integrity."
Matt Mowers, a leading Republican primary candidate looking to unseat Democratic Representative Chris Pappas, cast an absentee ballot in New Hampshire's 2016 presidential primary, voting records show. At the time, Mowers served as the director of former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's presidential campaign.
Four months later, after Christie's bid fizzled, Mowers cast another ballot in New Jersey's Republican presidential primary, using his parents' address to re-register in his home state, documents obtained through a public records request show.
Two men were caught trying to vote more than once in the race for County Clerk at the Salt Lake County GOP Convention Saturday, and the chair of the party says it may take legal action against them.
"We're going to probably send this to the Attorney General, we may actually prosecute," said Salt Lake GOP Chairman Chris Null. "That's a serious issue in our system."
This happened during the vote counting in the GOP race for Salt Lake County Clerk between Nancy Lord and Goud Maragani. Both men were then stripped of their delegate titles in a vote from the body of delegates, one of the men was a local precinct chair.
Until last week, Mark Meadows was simultaneously registered to vote in three different states: North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The overlap lasted about three weeks, and it might have continued if revelations about Meadows's voting record had not attracted scrutiny in North Carolina. Meadows is still registered in Virginia and South Carolina.
C.J. Parker, 24, and Shamus O’Donnell, 27, were both sacked after sending dozens of ballots to a P.O. box associated with a Republican political action committee known as the Republican Registration Coalition.
The PAC's chairman, Billy Lanzilotti, said that he had intended to hand deliver the ballots to voters himself. The incident is just the latest in a series of GOP-related voting scandals in recent months.
Ballot harvesting, which involves having a third-party collect or distribute ballots on behalf of voters, is strictly banned in Pennsylvania except to assist voters with disabilities.
