Chuck Schumer’s 3 Falsehoods In One Tweet Concerning FL Voting
“Every single Florida voter, whether they mailed in their ballot, whether they showed up at the polls, no matter for whom they legally cast their vote—must have their vote counted.”

Three Falsehoods in his statement,
-
By Federal law 52 USC Chapters 101 and 103, registered voters must be "citizens of the United States." If a Florida voter does not meet that requirement their vote should not count. Examples are green card and temporary visa holders do not meet that requirement as they are not yet naturalized citizens or are foreign nationals. It is illegal to fraudulently register to vote under 52 USC Ch 103, Sec 10307.
-
Florida voters must have established residency in the precinct where they voted (or use appropriate provisional ballot method if voting elsewhere) per 42 USC Chapter 146 and 52 USC Chapter 105. It is illegal to fraudulently register to vote under 52 USC Ch 103, Sec 10307. Likely Florida also has state election laws concerning residency and polling location. Persons not meeting this basic requirement should not have their vote counted.
-
Florida likely has a postmark deadline for when mail-in ballots are accepted. Florida likely has laws stipulating when and where poll, provisional and mail-in ballots must be turned for counting. If these requirements have not been the met then the ballot should not be counted.
