Update on 2016 Destroyed Ballots: Canova vs Wasserman Schultz

After our 2016 run against Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her corrupt political machine, a number of election integrity experts expressed serious concerns about the official results. Rather than ignoring their research, I decided to try to verify the vote by inspecting the ballots under Florida’s public records law.

All too often, election frauds are swept under the rug, especially when it’s establishment Democrats cheating progressive and grassroots Democrats. We saw this happen in state after state where Bernie Sanders and his campaign were cheated. In New York City alone, more than 200,000 citizens were purged from the voting rolls in the days prior to New York’s 2016 presidential primary. The New York City Board of Elections admitted to all this, and yet there’s been no real punishment for the massive fraud.

I was determined to shine a light on any corruption that may have rigged my own election results against Wasserman Schultz. I felt that I owed nothing less to the thousands of supporters who stepped up to make donations and volunteer their time to my campaign. So, when Dr. Brenda Snipes, the Broward Supervisor of Elections stonewalled our public records request, I filed a lawsuit last June to enforce our rights.

Incredibly, while the lawsuit was pending, the Supervisor destroyed all of our paper ballots in violation of federal law!

We must not let this scandal involving Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s own reelection be swept under the rug. Please click here to help us by donating what you can. I have invested thousands of dollars of my own money to seeing this lawsuit through. We need your help now more than ever. With your support, we will press the case forward and expose the full extend of this wrongdoing.

Earlier this week, we hand delivered a letter to the Florida Secretary of State, Ken Detzner, the state’s top elections official, informing him of the evidence uncovered in our lawsuit and urging him to conduct a full investigation into Dr. Snipes’ misconduct.

We also followed up with letters to hundreds of state and local elected officials and Democratic and Republican party leaders throughout Florida, urging them to join in our call for action.

We will not be silent or complicit in the frauds and riggings of our elections. This has not been easy. We have taken a lot of heat from the establishment and we have had to divert significant campaign resources to our lawsuit and inspection efforts. Meanwhile, Wasserman Schultz has quietly been raising hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporate interests. That’s why I need your help now. Please click here to chip in whatever you can to help us fight back and remove Wasserman Schultz from office!

We will continue to walk the walk when it comes to demanding a real democracy. When we see election corruption, we will demand election integrity!

With your help, we will not back down.
