The Florida Department of State is investigating evidence of fraudulent abortion amendment petition gathering, a department spokesman told The Daily Wire Friday.
“The Department of State has uncovered evidence of illegal conduct with fraudulent petitions,” the spokesman said. “We have a duty to seek justice for Florida citizens who were victimized by fraud and safeguard the integrity of Florida’s elections.”
