Ron DeSantis’ new election security force this week accepted a plea deal that allows her to avoid any punishment. So far, none have received prison time. Last week, prosecutors dropped charges against one of them, while last month, a judge dismissed charges against another.

As someone convicted of a felony sexual offense, Patterson was not allowed to vote under state law. But in a new court filing, prosecutors wrote that they were dropping charges against him.

Ron DeSantis announced the arrests of 20 people for alleged voter fraud, his administration quietly made a change that some say could help the state go after more people. Starting in August, Floridians on probation have been required to sign an updated form placing the burden on them to determine if they’re eligible to vote.

Ron DeSantis has had his case dismissed by a Miami judge. Those arrested had voted in 2020, the first election cycle since the implementation of Amendment 4 that that allowed many felons to have their voting rights automatically restored, except for those convicted of murder and felony sexual assault.

Civil rights groups including the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition are demanding a statewide voter verification system, calling out officials’ “outrageous negligence” on the matter.
