Andrew Gillum’s Family Under Investigation For Engaging In Voter Fraud
Less than a year before gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum publicly denounced President Donald Trump’s efforts to investigate the threat of voter fraud, Gillum’s brother, Marcus Gillum, voted in the 2016 general election in Tallahassee, Florida while a resident of Chicago, Illinois.
According to Florida law, you must be a legal resident in Florida to vote in elections. Casting an illegal vote in Florida is a third-degree felony.
Andrew Gillum and his brother Marcus are close. Media reports indicate they have traveled together and attended sporting events together. Also, Marcus Gillum has been caught up in the FBI investigation involving possible corruption in Tallahassee, Florida.
Leon County voting records show Marcus Gillum voted by absentee in the 2012 general election, absentee in the 2014 primary election, and early voted in the 2016 general election.
But the trouble is, months before he cast that 2016 ballot in Florida, Marcus Gillum, in an affidavit for an unrelated court case, swore under oath he was a resident of Chicago.
Also, according to records, Marcus Gillum is still currently registered to vote in Leon County at a home that his brother, gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, sold over three years ago. The Leon County Property Appraiser indicates that Andrew Gillum sold 5325 St. Ives Lane on February 27th, 2015.
Furthermore, Florida Department of Motor Vehicle records show that Marcus Gillum has not had a valid Florida drivers license since 2011.
Marcus Gillum has not returned repeated calls seeking comment.
This information was presented to Leon County Supervisor of Elections Mark Earley. “Based on this information I will initiate an investigation into potential voter ineligibility,” Earley said.
Earley also added that fraudulent voting is actually very difficult to prevent.
“It could be that (ineligible voters) consider Leon County to be their place of residence,” Earley said. “But the reality is until they notify us that...
‘Don’t Be A Baby’:Trump Fires Back at Reporter Pushing Him on ‘Criminal’ Caravan
Trump told reporters that some of the individuals making up the migrant caravan on its way to the United States through Mexico from Honduras were potentially dangerous.
“Some of these people are hard criminals,” Trump said. “Hardened criminals — not good people.”
“These are some bad people coming through,” he added. “These aren’t babies, these aren’t little angels coming into our country.”
Then things got really interesting. When New York Times reporter Emily Cochrane sought elaboration on that statement from the commander in chief, he fired back.
In 2017, The Hill reported about the crime problem some illegal aliens present: “Criminal aliens, both legal and illegal, make up 27 percent of all federal prisoners. Yet non-citizens are only about nine percent of the nation’s adult population.”Reporter: "What evidence do you have that these are hardened criminals that are coming to the United States?"— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) October 20, 2018

“Thus, judging by the numbers in federal prisons alone, non-citizens commit federal crimes at three times the rate of citizens,” The Hill calculated.
And it just gets worse, based on a review of “the criminal histories of 55,322 aliens in federal or state prisons and local jails who ‘entered the country illegally.’
“Those illegal aliens were arrested 459,614 times, an average of 8.3 arrests per illegal alien, and committed almost 700,000 criminal offenses, an average of...
MIDTERMS 2018 Upbeat Trump Predicts Lots of Republicans Winning November 6 at Nevada Rally...
“I like where we stand in the election,” Trump told those gathered at the latest of his signature Make America Great Again rallies. “You know I think that blue wave is being rapidly shattered. All the Democrats want is power and they’ve got this blue wave deal going, but it’s not looking like a blue wave.”
He said, “I think Dean Heller is going to win here. I think Martha McSally, she was great last night, I think she’s going to win. I just visited the great state of Big Sky … and I’ll tell you what, they’re going to win. They’re going to win in Montana. We’re going to win all over.”
He also added, “I think we’re going to win in Indiana. I think we’re going to win with Josh, I think we’re going to win in Missouri. I think Rick Scott is going to win in the great state of Florida. We’re going to have a great governor in Florida … you know who I’m talking about, Ron DeSantis … Just like Adam Laxalt is going to be a great governor for you.”
Trump was referring to Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.), whose re-election effort was all but given up as doomed only a few weeks ago, but now has a small lead over Rep. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), and Rep. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.), who appears to have a similarly razor-thin lead on Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz).
In Montana, Trump was referring to Republican State Auditor Matt Rosendale, who has battled Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) to a dead heat with two weeks to go. The president’s reference to “Josh” was to Republican Josh Hawley, who has a slight lead and a lot of momentum against Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.).
Florida Gov. Rick Scott has battled Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) to a dead heat, but acted decisively in preparing his state for the recent devastation left by Hurricane Michael. Similarly former Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) is in a dead heat against Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum (D).
And Adam Laxalt is the Republican candidate for governor in Nevada, who is in a tight race with Democrat Steve Sisolak, chairman of the Clark County Commission. Clark County is Nevada most populous county. Laxalt is the grandson of Sen. Paul Laxalt (R-Nev.).
The lengthy list of races in which he predicts GOP wins reflected Trump’s nearly non-stop pace of campaign rallies in recent weeks as he tries to boost Republican chances of maintaining majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives in 2019 and 2020.
The Elko speech also reflected Trump’s continuing theme of branding Democrats as the party of crime and...
