Florida Democratic party under investigation for voter fraud

    We all watched with amazement as Florida totally botched the ballot counting a couple of weeks ago, but in addition to the incompetency we saw in Florida there were also some suspicious activities reported such as “finding” ballots that were not counted. But I think the most troubling story of all was the report that Florida officials altered ballots by changing the date until two days after the election hoping to get those votes counted when the recounts started.

  Now, according to this story, the Florida Democratic party is under investigation for election fraud because of this. Here is more:

Democrats conceded in the races for U.S. Senate and governor, but not before Florida asked federal authorities to investigate possible election fraud conducted by the party.

The U.S. Department of Justice declined, but the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Office of Statewide Prosecution say they have an opened a criminal investigation into the allegations.

Evidence reported to the Department of State suggests a possible effort by Democrats to have voters fix ballots after the state’s deadline in at least four counties.

Cure forms for mail ballots sent to voters by the party show the return date changed from the day before the election to two days afterwards.

Here is what Florida Republicans had to say:

Republicans point to the fact Democrats successfully sued to extend the deadline after the fact.

“It looks like they were just planning on a judge siding with them because of the bias towards trying to allow as many votes as possible to count that were legally cast,” said Eric Eggers, author of the book Fraud. “It’s the first evidence we have of systemic efforts to undercut or subvert election law as it was on the book.”

  The Democrats are claiming it was a simple mistake made by some young people which actually hurt the Democrats they were trying to help:

“Some 23-year-old staffer probably got two dates mixed up,” said Schale. “They put the date down for the provisional ballot cure, not the absentee ballot cure, and actually by doing it, all they did was make it harder for their own voters to vote.”

  This sounds like an eerily similar excuse in the IRS targeting scandal and of course we know the IRS finally admitted guilt. 

  But here is a question I would like to have answered, why did the Department of Justice decide not to investigate this story?
