Investigative news site Just The News obtained a statement from the OECS, confirming the department’s investigation:
“The Florida Department of State, Office of Election Crimes and Security (OECS) was made aware of this issue around September 1, 2022,” the department said. “After further inquiry, OECS received additional information related to the allegation on October 17, 2022, and performed a preliminary investigation.Just The News reports that the OECS investigation was launched after Cynthia Harris, a former candidate for Orange County Commissioner, filed a sworn affidavit with the Florida Secretary of State’s office. In her affidavit, Harris described a long-standing, systemic ballot-harvesting operation in the Orlando area’s African-American communities. On Wednesday night, Harris appeared on Just the News, No Noise to discuss the electoral exploitation of black communities that she says has been going on for years.
“Since OECS is an investigative entity and does not [have] authority to make arrests, the office forwarded the complaint to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for possible violation of section 104.0616, Florida Statutes,” it added.
“So what happens is, in our community, when absentee ballots are mailed, you, the candidate, or any political party can find out when the absentee ballots are mailed and to whom. What happens is these ballot harvesters, they know which batch has gone out, they go to the door and they ask you for your absentee ballot,” said Harris. “Well, in communities that don’t look like me [aka white communities], no one does this,” noted Harris, who is black. “But in our community, it’s kind of like an accepted practice that the man is coming by to pick up my absentee ballot, or the lady is coming to pick up my absentee ballot.”
Just The News reports that Harris “even recorded a ballot broker coming to her home in 2017 to collect her ballot, and obtained the script that harvester was given by her bosses to make the pitch for a voter to turn over their ballot.” Harris, a Democrat, alleges that the entire operation is funded by progressive organizations:
[Harris] filed a sworn affidavit in late August with the Secretary of State’s office alleging that illegal operations to collect third-party ballots have been going on for years in the Orlando area where voting activists are paid $10 for each ballot they collect.There is so much more in the report from Just The News that at this point I’m just going to send you there if you want to keep reading. But suffice it to say that, in her affidavit, Harris served up plenty of what sure sounds like actionable information and evidence.
She described an intricate system funded by liberal leaning organizations that dispatch ballot brokers into black communities to pressure voters to turn over their ballots. The $10 fee per ballot is divvied up among the parties who help complete the harvesting.
Harris had long been frustrated with the alleged underhanded system in place in her community, but her motivation to finally come forward likely stems from her own experience with wonky ballot counting last summer. Harris ran in the primary for Orange County Commissioner and came in second place on election night, pleased to have made it to the runoff stage. But during a recount, Harris told Just The News, her tally dropped by 14 votes, and she was declared the third-place winner. Her experience parallels what Republicans across the country have...

If we send our young men into battle to die, supposedly to preserve our way of life, why isn't election fraud a death penalty crime?
This is how it's done nationwide. The methods have changed over time. Back in the late 80s in Portland, OR, on personal knowledge, there were groups of young leftist ideologues who trolled homeless shelters with absentee ballots. In exchange for a few cigarettes, the ballot would be completed and the address for the homeless shelter listed. The harvester would turn in the ballots and get paid 5$ for each. There was more than one shelter and people moved around. All it was was a variation of absentee ballot collection that existed, as in the article, for decades. This stuff isn't secret. It's literally how people think voting actually works in many areas. The churches and unions lead them. The media, politicians, and police have always known it. Everyone just pretends otherwise.
The Demon-Crap dope running for secretary of the state in Kommiecticut is all in for the voting methods open to cheating. Right now there is NO mail in voting statewide, but she is pushing it. It is nothing more than a foolproof method of cheating, just like written about here. The last couple of close gubernatorial elections miraculously swung Demon-Crap in the wee hours of the morning in... GASP... Bridgeport!
The other thing she supports is "counting every vote." Yup... even those of the dead. Because if there is a ballot, by God... IT MUST BE COUNTED!!!
@oldvet1950
not just the harvesters, but more particularly, the people/foundations(?) who provide the money for this type of operation will make fine decorations for lampposts
Well, oldvet1950, if you figure out who is FUNDING this, you have your answer!
#9 Spot on! GA is still using faulty Dominion counting machines. The results will be whatever the election official wants it to be. My county is reported by the liberal TV network to be 58% Dem but the Newsmax poll has it at 66% republican. We are screwed in GA.
