Voter Fraud Report

Arthur Leonard Lang, of Alachua County, was charged by the state with two felony counts of false swearing or submission of false voter registration information and one felony count of unqualified elector willfully voting after registering to vote and voting as a felon in the 2020 election. Lang registered to vote during a prison voter registration drive organized by Alachua County Supervisor of Elections Kim Barton, but under Florida law, he was ineligible as a convicted felon whose right to vote had not been restored. Lang pleaded no contest to all counts. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison for each count (to run concurrently with each other and with the sentence from a prior conviction) with credit for 14 days served. He was also assessed $671 in court costs.
