DeSantis accused of siccing his ‘election police’ on abortion rights supporters
Democrats are exploring legal options to block the governor from what they have called a voter intimidation scheme designed to suppress support for Amendment 4

A widely derided election crimes dragnet from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appears to be targeting voters who signed a petition to get an abortion rights amendment on state ballots this fall, a measure that the Republican governor and his anti-abortion allies strongly oppose.
DeSantis’s administration has previously deployed law enforcement officers to the homes of formerly incarcerated people who were accused of illegally voting. Most of those charges were eventually dropped.
Now, officers appear to be visiting the homes of citizens who signed a petition that successfully put Amendment 4 on November’s ballots, which would enshrine the right to abortion care in the state’s constitution — and overturn state law signed by DeSantis that bans abortion at six weeks of pregnancy, before most people know they are pregnant.
Is this what sending it back to the states entails ?
Apparentlyy meatball is furious that Florida is looking to dump his authoritarian nonsense.
I suspect this is what America will look like under Project 2025.
