Authorities in Seminole County announced the arrest of Alexander Dean Francis, 33, a Winter Springs man accused of submitting fraudulent petitions in support of Amendment 3, the ballot measure that sought to legalize recreational marijuana.
According to the Florida Attorney General's Office, Francis was working as a paid petition circulator when investigators discovered he had submitted hundreds of fraudulent signatures. Some of these petitions ended up in multiple Supervisor of Elections offices across the state, including in Flagler County, where Francis was eventually caught. This shocking revelation underscores how the Marijuana Bill Failure has left a trail of legal and political fallout far beyond Election Day.
