TALLAHASSEE When police went to arrest Tony Patterson outside his Tampa home in August, he couldnt believe the reason.
What is wrong with this state, man? Patterson protested as he was being escorted to a police car in handcuffs. Voter fraud? Yall said anybody with a felony could vote, man.
Body-worn camera footage recorded by local police captured the confusion and outrage of Hillsborough County residents who found themselves in handcuffs for casting a ballot following investigations by Gov. Ron DeSantis new Office of Election Crimes and Security.
The Aug. 18 arrests conducted hours before DeSantis called a news conference to tout his crackdown on alleged voter fraud were carried out by state police officers accompanied by local law enforcement.
The never-before-seen footage, obtained by the Times/Herald through public records requests, offers a personal glimpse of the effects of DeSantis efforts to root out perceived voter fraud.

Fascism in plain sight.
