Tavares, FL - Nov. 6, 2011 - Some of our readers have been asking how secure the voting system is in Lake County, and whether voter fraud can occur like that in Houston two years ago.
Well, I don't know about Lake County, but here is a case where the Madison County, FL Elections Supervisor AND a School Board members were arrested along with several others in a documented voter fraud scandal. We then found another article about absentee voter fraud in Daytona Beach, FL.
It appears they manipulated absentee ballots, and did a lot of work to order absentee ballots sent to third location addresses, had the ballots marked to favor the one candidate, then mailed them in.
The losing candidate filed a complaint due to the excess number of absentee ballots, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated, and got a bunch of people.
I have no knowledge whether the same manipulation of absentee voters is possible in Lake County.
HERE is the link to the SunshineStateNews.com article about the Madison County voter fraud case.
And, HERE is an older (about 1997) LONG article on Florida Voter Fraud from the Equal Justice Foundation.
Just search on "Florida Voter Fraud" on Google to read more...

Now, what is funny is that on that website, there was the following comment posted about Lake County - I have no evidence to know if it is correct, but it poses some questions...
