RNC is Seeking Poll
Workers and Poll Watchers as Part of Florida Election Integrity
Efforts
The
Republican National Committee has been working diligently since
shortly after the 2020 election to ensure that our elections are safe
and secure. In Florida, we have passed laws to make it easy to vote
but hard to cheat.
However,
the laws need monitoring at all levels. The RNC, coordinating with the
RPOF, is supplementing what our Florida county parties are doing to
help with that.

AG Moody and Law Enforcement Agencies Bust Gang Members and
Seize Enough Fentanyl to Kill Half of Florida’s
Population
Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Office of
Statewide Prosecution and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement
shut down a major drug trafficking organization this week operated by
gang members affiliated with Mexican drug cartels.
Attorney
General Moody’s Statewide Prosecutors are charging 25 defendants,
including SUR-13 gang members, with multiple felony counts related to
drug trafficking, violent criminal acts and conspiracy. Authorities
seized more than 50 pounds, or 23 kilograms, of fentanyl — enough to
kill more than 11 million Floridians, approximately half the state’s
population.
“In just a
few months’ time, authorities have seized enough fentanyl to wipe out
the combined populations of 66 of Florida’s 67 counties—more than 19
million people! The prevalence of this dangerous substance poses a
critical threat not only to the wellbeing of the citizens of our state
but also our nation.”

Jimmy Patronis Sounds Alarm on Dangerous Mix of Electric
Cars and Storm Surge
In the wake
of Hurricane Ian, Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis is raising
the alarm over electric vehicles’ dangerous mix of lithium batteries
and storm surge.
Patronis,
who is also Florida’s Fire Marshal, said Congress needs to assess fire
risks associated with saltwater on electric vehicles, adding that fire
teams need more resources to deal with an “inevitable” increase in
fires associated with electric-powered automobiles.
“I joined
North Collier Fire Rescue to assess response activities related to
Hurricane Ian and saw with my own eyes an EV continuously ignite, and
continually reignite, as fireteams doused the vehicle with
tens-of-thousands of gallons of water,” CFO Patronis said.
“Subsequently, I was informed by the fire department that the vehicle,
once again reignited when it was loaded onto the tow truck. Based on
my conversations with area firefighters, this is not an isolated
incident.”
