I just got off the air with CNN. Here’s what I said, John:
Beginning in December, my office started to receive calls from elderly residents in Miami-Dade County who found that their lifelong status as registered Democrats had been changed to “Republican” without their knowledge by a third-party “voter outreach” organization. The pictures provided by some of the victims show the identification of the third-party organization as the Republican Party of Florida.
Based on the calls we received, including more of them TODAY, there appears to be a widespread and possibly ongoing effort to fraudulently disenfranchise elderly, Hispanic Floridians. Since December, I have been asking for a formal investigation into these shocking allegations.
Now I need your help to raise the public pressure on this issue so Florida Republicans can’t just sweep it under the rug. So please take my words to CNN tonight and share them with your friends and neighbors.
This is a grassroots campaign, John. And grassroots campaigns are won one voter at a time.
Thank you for being a part of this one.
