Fraudulent Signatures Cast Doubt on Abortion Amendment Validity

ORLANDO, FL – Florida voters filed a lawsuit to invalidate Amendment 4, an extreme and deceptive abortion amendment, after ongoing state criminal investigations have revealed high rates of fraudulent signatures were used across the state to help place the amendment on the November ballot. The pro-abortion group Floridians Protecting Freedom (FPF), backed by Planned Parenthood and the ACLU, sponsored the amendment and submitted 997,035 signatures, which was 11.8 percent more than required. However, the lawsuit uses data from state signature audits to claim that up to 16.4 percent of the signatures are fraudulent which would drop the number of valid signatures below the minimum threshold to legally be on the ballot.
