DeSantis’s office has expressed ‘serious concerns’

With less than a week to go before the official kickoff of Floridaโ€™s 2022 primary election cycle, documents obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times expose how one supervisor of elections has repeatedly overstepped his authority to implement COVID-19 mandates and voting procedures that appear to challenge numerous Florida laws.

Early voting in Florida runs between Aug. 13 to 20, and โ€œEach county Supervisor of Elections may offer more days of early voting from one or more of the following days: August 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 21.โ€ Floridaโ€™s Primary Election day is Aug. 23.

In a letter dated Nov. 4, 2021, Paul Stamoulis, Supervisor of Elections for Floridaโ€™s Charlotte County informed โ€œall applicants interested in serving as a Poll Workerโ€ that they were โ€œrequired to complete an enclosed Certification form,โ€ verifying that they had โ€œbeen inoculated for the COVID-19 virus.โ€

Applicants were told they had to identify the type of vaccine they received and the dates the vaccine was administered. By signing the form, applicants were also acknowledging that they understood they would be required to wear a mask or a face shield, covering their nose and mouth, โ€œat all times.โ€ Applicants who could not โ€œcomply with this new policyโ€ for โ€œwhatever reason,โ€ were told they were โ€œineligible to work the 2022 Elections.โ€

On April 2, 2021, seven months before Stamoulis mailed his letters, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Executive Order 21-81 (pdf), banning vaccine mandates and โ€œso-called COVID-19 vaccine passports,โ€ saying it โ€œwould create two classes of citizens based on vaccination.โ€

On May 3, 2021, six months before Stamoulis mailed his letters, DeSantis issued Executive Order 21-101 (pdf), which suspended all local COVID-19 restrictions and mandates on individuals and businesses, and further stated that โ€œno county or municipality may renew or enact an emergency order or ordinance, using a local state of emergency โ€ฆ that imposes restrictions or mandates upon businesses or individuals due to the COVID-19 emergency.โ€

The order was effective immediately. The same day, DeSantis signed Executive Order 21-102 (pdf) suspending all remaining states of emergency effective July 1, 2021, four months before Stamoulis mailed his letters.

Due to immediate backlash,ย Stamoulis rescinded this vaccine mandate policy.
