Dear Governor DeSantis,<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDear Governor DeSantis,\r\n \r\nThank you for signing the recent Election Integrity bill into law.\r\n \r\nWe know that the Florida Division of Elections Director, Maria Matthews, was in direct contact with the Center for Tech and Civic Life non-profit Mark Zuckerberg funded with $350 million dollars to affect the 2020 General Election. \r\n \r\nZuckerberg spent at least $15,000,000 in eleven Florida counties, which were contacted through an email Matthews sent to Supervisors of Elections making them aware of the available money.\r\n \r\nSome Florida experts have speculated that the money may have been used for a targeted "Get Out The Vote" effort. \r\n \r\nIt is staggering to consider a public servant would use her office to wield such power. The People of Florida have had enough!\r\n \r\nWe are calling on you to fire her for failing to protect the integrity of voter turnout and denying people in Florida their right to a free and fair election. We want her OUT NOW. \r\n \r\nEvery Floridian needs to have confidence in the election process.\r\n \r\nPlease fire Maria Matthews. <\/textarea><div id='dk_speakout_markdown'>You can add formatting
