Democrat from Lake Worth arrested

'Malicious purposes': Democrat elections volunteer arrested for stealing sensitive computer equipment ahead of race barely won by Democrat in Trump's home district

PALM BEACH, Florida – A Democrat elections volunteer in Palm Beach County has been arrested for allegedly stealing an encrypted access key and sensitive computer equipment ahead of last week's special election in which a Democrat won by 800 votes in the district including President Donald Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago.

John Panicci, 59, of Lake Worth, Florida, was taken into custody Saturday evening, accused of taking sensitive computer equipment and other supplies on March 19, just five days before the March 24 special election.

WPBF-TV in West Palm Beach reports: "Sheriff's office detectives determined that on March 19, the Supervisor of Elections Office conducted a training session for volunteers assisting with the election scheduled for March 24. During the session, Panicci stole an encrypted access key from a voter registration terminal.

Panicci is listed as a registered Democrat in Palm Beach County on state voter records, with an active registration dating to 2001.

Ways Republicans can help

What can YOU do NOW to help Republicans win?

Read what Jenniffer Lee, for State Committeewoman says--

There are many ways you can help NOW! Here are a few that I feel are important. Register to vote!

Register to vote.
Make sure you are STILL registered and STILL registered as a Republican.
They cleaned the voter rolls, so make sure you weren’t removed. Also, some data “glitches” switched many people’s party without their permission. Make sure you are not a victim to either of these scenarios by checking your status now. You can’t vote in the Republican Primary nor for Republican State Committeemen and State Committeewomen (like me) if you are not registered as a Republican!

Make sure you ARE registered AND registered as the right party.

Change your party affiliation.
Request your Vote by Mail (VBM) ballot.

Trip to the Supervisor of Elections Office

For the first time in my life, I applied for an absentee ballot as I will not have transportation to get to the polls on election day. After waiting two weeks and three calls to the Supervisor of Elections office and being told it's the post office's fault, I drove up there yesterday to claim my ballot for the August 23rd primary.

I was asked for my Driver's License and a short time later an employee came out with my ballot. I filled it in outside (by law you are not allowed to fill out your ballot in the interior) signed it, placed it in a sealed envelope and turned it in.

.The main room has been refurbished and looks fabulous!

I was told that a local school did all the new art work. I was happy to know that kids in at least one of our schools are being taught the importance of voting. Here is one photo--
