Astrid Quintana arrest Florida voting

    par Flint: United States

    A noncitizen just got cuffed by Florida's election crimes unit for casting a ballot in the 2024 election. The arrest went down in Lee County, which is about as red as it gets. Astrid Quintana, originally from Mexico but based in Fort Myers, told authorities she was a citizen. She's now staring down a third-degree felony. If this slips through in a deep-red stronghold, imagine the scale of it in blue areas where oversight is looser. Election integrity isn't optional, it's the whole ballgame.
