“Jury splits verdicts for former inmate charged with Florida voter fraud crimes”

Gainesville Sun:

Another Florida man has been sentenced for election-related voter fraud crimes following a fraud investigation in Alachua County.

After a day-long trial John Boyd Rivers was found guilty of willfully voting as an unqualified elector, but not guilty of the charge against him for registering to vote in the first place. He was sentenced to two years of supervised probation and 50 hours of community service. He is also ordered to pay off all his court fees.

Rivers was among the near two dozen inmates facing various voter fraud crimes related to the 2020 general election that followed a voter drive held by the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections Office at the county jail after the passage of Amendment 4.
