According to local news sources, one of the suspects used vote-by-mail illegally in the process, as La Rocca reportedly voted in person for the primary election in Okaloosa County and then voted by mail in the general election.

This crackdown on election fraud is of great significance, especially as former President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that vote-by-mail was used to commit fraud during the 2020 presidential election. Governor DeSantis has made it a priority to address this issue, even signing bills focused on election security in the wake of the 2020 election.

With these recent arrests, it is clear that Florida is taking steps to ensure fair and honest elections for all its citizens.
