Florida examining abortion amendment petitions for potential fraud
An investigation by the state into ballot petition fraud throughout Florida is reaching right into Palm Beach County. In an email sent to supervisor of elections Wendy Sartory Link, the Department of State is asking to gather and review more than 17,000 signatures of petition circulators suspected of committing fraud. The signatures are for the petition to get Amendment 4 — the abortion amendment— on the November ballot. The amendment would protect abortion access and undo the state’s six-week abortion ban.
