FDLE Joins Probe Into Suspicious Voter Registration Forms

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is now investigating  potential voter registration fraud after reports of false forms were  reported in several Florida counties including Escambia and Santa Rosa.

State election officials have called in the FDLE to investigate allegations that a Virginia-based voter registration gathering firm hired by the Republican Party of Florida may have faked or destroyed voter registration applications.

Chris Cate, spokesman for the Florida Department of State, said the agency has turned over a complaint filed by the RPOF against Strategic Allied Consultants, which had been gathering applications from would-be voters under a $1.3 million contract.

The suspicious voter registration forms were first reported in Palm Beach County. Late last week, Escambia County officials reported irregularities with a  “significant” number of suspicious voter registration forms.

“There was enough suspicion about several of these to warrant us looking into them further and ultimately asking the State Attorney’s Office to get involved,”said Escambia Supervisor of Elections David Stafford.

About 100 of the irregular forms were also reported in Santa Rosa County.

State Attorney Bill Eddins says they suspect a large number of the applications were turned in by Strategic Allied Consultants.

The state party cut ties to the company earlier this week when the allegations were exposed, according to RPOF’s Executive Director Mark Grissom. On Thursday, the Republican National Committee followed suit, cancelling contracts with the company that was doing work for the RNC in at least four more states.

The complaint has not been released, and an agency spokesman said it was being reviewed to determine what portions could be released to comply with Florida public records law.

“Some documents regarding this matter are exempt from public records disclosure at this time,” Cate said. “The department will review any responsive records within its possession and provide any non-exempt documents.”

Mike Huckabee Campaigns For Romney In Pensacola (With Photo Gallery)

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee brought the Republican message to Escambia County Saturday afternoon, campaigning for presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Huckabee spoke to several hundred energized Romney-Ryan supporters.

“One of the things we are trying with the Romney campaign is to make sure that voters understand there is a real difference between Mitt Romney and Barrack Obama as it relates to people of faith,” Huckabee said at the “Victory Meet and Greet” event at Marcus Pointe Baptist Church.

Man Becomes Trapped Between A Tractor And A Tree

A man is recovering today after his foot was partially crushed by a tractor Saturday near McDavid.

The man was working on a food plot off Roach Road when his small farm tractor slid into a tree, trapping the man’s foot between the running board of the tractor and the tree. First responders used a winch to pull the tractor away from the tree and off the man’s foot.

He was transported to an area hospital in good condition.
