Elections fraud complaint filed against top Florida health official over abortion fight
https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/10/14/abortion-fight-florida-official-hit-with-elections-fraud-complaint/75672580007/A Palm Beach County attorney has filed an elections fraud complaint against a top Florida health official, alleging he has illegally used his position to try to tank the state's abortion access ballot measure.
Jason Weida, secretary of the Agency for Health Care Administration, was accused by Adam Richardson of violating a state law that prevents state officials from using their "official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with an election or a nomination of office or coercing or influencing another person’s vote or affecting the result."
Weida's team created a state webpage bashing Amendment 4, which would ensure abortion access in Florida if at least 60% of Floridians approve it. The state has paid for television advertisements that direct watchers to the webpage.
"To combat the lies and disinformation surrounding Florida’s abortion laws, (AHCA) has launched an improved transparency page," Weida, who was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, wrote in a social media post.
