Over 800,000 residents in Lee County. Two people were signature verified, maybe (you know the Tampa Tribune and their biases).
Why are democrats and their alias's so afraid of the verification process? I mean, they would never cheat, so what's the problem?

Two people were interviewed, but we don't know how many were--or will be--interviewed as the investigation is apparently just beginning:

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's administration has begun investigating thousands of verified signatures that helped to put a state constitutional amendment protecting the right to abortion on the ballot in November. The amendment would overturn Florida's current six-week abortion ban.

Petition organizers collected about 100,000 more signatures than they needed, surpassing the 900,000 that are required by the state and ensuring that their policy would be on the ballot. Now the Department of State's spokesperson Ryan Ash claims that his agency has "uncovered evidence of illegal conduct with fraudulent petitions."

Supervisors in Hillsborough, Orange, Palm Beach, Osceola, Alachua, and Broward counties have been requested to gather around 36,000 signatures for state review, according to the Tampa Bay Times. One supervisor with 16 years of experience told the Times that the state's request was entirely unprecedented. Not only had the state requested signatures that had already been verified, but they did so for a validated petition, not a rejected petition, which are typically the basis of fraud investigations.

The NR op-ed by Parker Molloy I posted is a first-rate analysis of how the MSM has been sanewashing Trump for years.

Fraud prevention or dirty tricks? Florida abortion amendment might be under attack again | Opinion

Only because you agree with the OPINION. It does not deal with facts, only claims. But I get it, you guys and gals will take any life raft in the storm and cling to it as seaworthy.

The article deals with the fact that the MSM sanewash Trump and gives recent examples of them doing just that, so it isn't a matter of a fact-free opinion that I agree with but a well-documented argument backed by examples that I can read and evaulte for myself. Molloy has identified and named a process that we have all been witnessing since Trump entered the presidential race in 2016. That process--and the pro-Trump bias inherent in it--is even more pronounced now that Trump, whose age-related confusion is increasing, is the oldest candidate in the race.

If George Soros didn't exist, it would be necessary for Republicans to invent him (video at link and with apologies to Voltaire):

Ron Desantis tonight claims that George Soros is behind FL's abortion rights ballot initiative, and says the all-Republican FL Supreme Court made a "horrendous decision" by allowing it to be on the ballot this November.
