Fake Voter Guide Sparks Political Shake-up | Jacksonville News

Two St. Johns County commissioners face criminal charges after a fraudulent voter guide falsely claimed GOP endorsements, allegedly swaying a close election — prompting a state rep to call for their removal and replacement by the August 18 winner of Arnold’s seat. The rep, also targeted by the misleading mailers, says the governor should act if legal proceedings suspend the commissioners — while rival Ann-Marie Evans, who lost to Whitehurst, is pushing for her appointment. The probe, now led by Florida Law Enforcement after the Sheriff recused himself, also targets a political consultant for evidence tampering — and another rep condemns the scheme, recalling his own past support for laws banning unauthorized party-backed guides.
