Florida woman charged with changing voters' registration information and party affiliations
A Florida woman might have filled out dozens of voter registration forms with false information, according to election officials. Cheryl A. Hall, 63, was charged on Thursday with putting false information into 10 voter registration forms while working for Florida First, a voter registration group with ties to the pro-Trump PAC America First Policies, according to the New York Times. Election officials suspect that Hall falsified parts of 109 other forms, as well. "It’s just really bizarre," Lake County, Florida, elections supervisor Alan Hays, said. "I don’t know what part of her imagination was convinced she could get away with this."
The 10 forms in question contained correct names, but other information — such as social security numbers, dates of birth, and party affiliation — was wrong. Hays tracked the forms back to Hall after receiving complaints from three voters that their party identification had been changed without their permission. "We don’t know what she was hoping to accomplish," said Lt. John Herrell of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. Herrell added that Hall appeared to have acted on her own and that Florida First was not suspected of wrongdoing. "Florida First will continue to work tirelessly to serve communities that may be underrepresented, and provide them access to voter registration services," Florida First’s State Director Elicia Babac said in a statement. Hall is due in court on March 30 and faces up to five years in prison or a $5,000 fine for each of the 10 counts of submitting false voter registration information she has been charged with.
