In the latest development in Gov. Ron DeSantis' war against a "radical" Florida abortion amendment, the Department of State announced Thursday that they've discovered evidence of fraudulent abortion petitions that helped secure the measure's spot on the November ballot.

First broken by the Tampa Bay Times, DeSantis' elections police have questioned some people who signed petitions to put Amendment 4 on the ballot, which would enshrine abortion access until fetal viability—around 24 weeks—in the state constitution. It would also overturn the state's six-week abortion ban, which was a DeSantis priority greenlit by the state Supreme Court earlier this year.

DeSantis worries that some of the nearly one million signatures on the abortion petition—approved by local supervisors of elections almost seven months ago—were fraudulently signed, some of which he says were submitted "on behalf of dead people."

The Florida Department of State agrees.
