Trump supporter convicted after DeSantis-formed office busted him for voter fraud

A supporter of former President Donald Trump has been convicted of criminal charges related to voter fraud after getting caught by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' Florida Office of Election Crimes and Security.

Click Orlando reports that 58-year-old Robert Rivernider, a resident of The Villages in Florida, was found guilty of signing his late father's name to a mail-in ballot in the 2020 presidential election.

Sumter County Elections Supervisor Bill Keen testified in the case that the signature on the ballot of Rivernider's father was notably different from past signatures.

What's more, the signature more closely resembled the signature of Rivernider.

Rivernider, whose website touts his past work on behalf of political campaigns ranging from Trump to former President George W. Bush to failed congressional candidate Laura Loomer, was found guilty of forgery to alter public records, fraud in connection with casting a vote, and passing a counterfeit instrument.

All of the charges faced by Rivernider were felony counts, which means he faces the prospect of several years in prison.

According to Click Orlando, The Villages have become something of a mini-haven for voter fraud in recent years.

"Several residents from The Villages have faced charges in the last few years for voter fraud related to the 2020 election," the website states. "At least four Villages residents were charged with voting twice in the election. All of them entered into a pre-trial intervention program to avoid potential prison time."
