Miami Herald reports on a absentee ballot fraud and voter fraud scheme in South Florida. When the dust settles and all the search warrants issued, the evidence will likely reveal the motive behind the plot was to scare potential Republican absentee voters away from requesting absentee ballots online. In Florida, Republicans and Cuban Republicans are more likely to vote absentee. By making thousands of fraudulent requests from an foreign IP address, the plot would unnecessarily raise public fears of a lack of online security.  Once the media reported on the alleged breach of security in requesting ballots, voters would shy away from making legitimate online absentee ballot requests.
