Come to the "Free State of Florida where if you support an amendment Desantis opposes you will be visited by his new Gestapo! Truly disgusting, illegal and anti-democratic. Desantis doesn't want Trump to be America's dictator because he wants the chance himself.

No police force should have any access to ballots or petitions. I've called Desantis a Nazi before and I reiterate that accusation today! He is a God damned Nazi!

Cops have been showing up at the doors of people who signed the petition to get the measure on the ballot thanks to DeSantis.

This is what state sponsored election interference looks like:

DeSantis' election police questioned people who signed abortion petitions

Two residents of Lee County said they were questioned at their homes about the validity of petition signatures.

"DeSantis is deploying the weight and resources of the state to assert, without evidence, that there was fraud in obtaining petition signatures, all despite that the deadline to challenge signatures passed months ago. It's voter intimidation, pure and simple."

Think those cops looked over their cars for violations while they were there? You know they did.
