Fake Voter Guide Scandal Rocks St. Johns | Jacksonville News

Three St. Johns County officials face misdemeanor charges for orchestrating a fake voter guide that misled voters ahead of the last election. County Commissioners Christian Whitehurst and Sarah Arnold, plus former mayor Dylan Rumrell, are accused of conspiring to pass off a counterfeit Republican Party endorsement — complete with a reversed color scheme and missing disclaimers — to sway voters. The operation, allegedly run from a rented campaign house and mailed from multiple cities to obscure its origin, exploited a party split that favored newcomers over incumbents. Campaign strategist Brianna Jordan, facing a separate felony charge for tampering with evidence, is central to the plot, as are her employee and intern. The fallout has ignited debate over election integrity, with defeated candidates blaming the guide for their losses — while the defendants’ attorneys say they’re ready to see the case resolved.
