The Florida Republican Assembly, which is duly chartered by the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, announced it discovered over 27,000 duplicate mail-in ballot requests to be mailed out statewide, including hundreds in Orange County. “This is a serious concern and needs to be addressed immediately,” the Republican group said.
The Florida Republican Assembly (FRA) stated the group is steadfast in its commitment to election integrity regardless of party affiliation. “The integrity of our elections is vital to the future of our Republic,” they said in a press release.
“In most cases, we saw 2 Vote by Mail Ballot requests in 2 different counties, but in some cases, there are as high as 4 distinct Vote By Mail Ballot Requests for the same Voter. Some of the duplicates we cancelled, but not all,” the FRA stated.
“FRA has notified all Supervisors of Elections via email so they can see the state-wide analysis to show there are serious issues with what appears to be auto-generating Vote By Mail Ballot Requests for Voters who have moved to a different county or even out-of-state,” the statement continued. “Based on our 2020 Election Analysis and Governor DeSantis’s August 18th announcement, there were duplicate votes recorded for the same voters in the 2020 election and this was most likely how it was allowed to happen.”
Per FRA counts, provided in the chart below, the group said the following top 25 Florida counties had duplicated mail ballot requests:
| County | Duplicates | |
| 1 | Hillsborough | 2,581 |
| 2 | Manatee | 2,374 |

“The FRA is concerned there may be numerous voter integrity violations associated with this finding and indicates a significant material weakness in the process such as mail-in ballot fraud, identity fraud, communication fraud, mail fraud, oath of office violation, neglect of duty, RICO Violation or a clerical error involved. Whatever the case may be, your support is vital in ensuring the issue is resolved immediately,” a press release from FRA said.
“Again, the FRA is steadfast in its commitment to election integrity and holding elected and appointed officials who fail to honor their oath of office accountable,” the group said.
The group says President Ronald Reagan identified it as the conscience of the Republican Party. In the press release, the FRA said all affiliated local chapters of the Florida Republican Assembly remain steadfast in their support for the “rule of law” and “due process” and affirm unanimous support for this statement.
“The FRA says”? Will no one in the organization take accountability for what is being said? That leads me to believe The “facts” being presented most likely are not true.
