In what he called an apparent statewide effort to suppress Republican voter turnout, Palm Beach Town Councilman Bill Diamond said he received a letter questioning his eligibility as a registered voter.
The official-looking letter came with Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher’s name emblazoned at the top, Diamond said. The envelope – mailed with a first-class stamp – bears a Seattle, Wash., postmark. Diamond’s housekeeper and five family members, all of whom reside in Lake Worth, also received the letter.
Diamond said that when he contacted Bucher, she assured him there were only about 14 people in the county who have eligibility issues, and he was not one of them. She said the letters were not from her office.
“There is no question that this is an attempt — and a strong attempt — to discourage Republicans from voting,” Diamond told BizPac Review. “This is a travesty of American justice, mail fraud and election fraud.”
Included with the letter is a “Voter Eligibility Form,” which requests personal information such as a Social Security number, Florida driver’s license number or an ID card number. The letter states in bold print that “failure to submit the form within 15 days will result in the removal of your name from the voter registration rolls and you will no longer be eligible to vote.” It also threatens arrest and imprisonment for voting when not registered.
The matter has been turned over to the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office, and the Florida Division of Elections is also investigating.
Biz Pac Review reported earlier today that letters have surfaced in Orange and Collier Counties. Anyone receiving a letter should contact local officials immediately.

I hate to say it but another possibility for this is low tech phishing if it asks for SS numbers. a VERY good time of year for this fraud as well as the voter suppression and voting fraud the Dems are so well practiced at. Coming from Washington I would say in all likelihood it is a two-fer for them Two-fer-one, they stop a Republican from voting, and possibly get to empty their bank accounts as well.
The Obama campaign and his government are the most corrupt people on earth. They will stop at nothing to win, they are a disgrace for America, hope the law gets them in time before the election. If Obama gets in it will be the worst down fall for America. Do not let this happen! God Bless America and our Troops! against this evil that is Obama and his liberal followers.
This information needs to be placed on radio and national news (Fox News) to inform -especially elderly voters – of this fraudulent letter. This could throw the election for Obama in close races. Who will bring this to individual voters? It’s urgent.
Why isn’t the FBI investigating?/ This must be a federal crime since it affects a federal election..
You mean those gangs of thugs hired by the Greedy Oligarchy Party to remove all the Dems election signs? Is that a federal election crime?
Most of the signs I have seen that were damaged or destroyed were those running for a Republican seat in the election, our Republicans do not stoop to this sort of Criminal Mischief.
Dems always accuse their opponents of exactly what they are doing –it is their only defense. The Dem party is thooughly corrupt. It starts with the Attny Gen’l Holder who is suing states that require photo id to vote (how obvious is that?) and even our state (Fla) when we wanted to clean up the voter rolls by removing the deceased and the illegals. Voter fraud is what they depend on for the margin of victory as they did with Franken in MN and numerous other documented cases. Even at the county level they stoop to stealing signs going so far as to pay people to steal them! No honor among “progressives.” .
Are you guys kidding me?!!!!!! Republican complaining about voter suppression? That is the most hypocritical thing I have heard in a long time!! You guys have passed voter suppression laws all over the country plus the governor of our State tried to get almost 200,000 people thrown off the rolls.
Please don’t insult the people of this State!
Too late! The people of Florida are already insulted by the current legislature, especially Gov. felon Rick Scott, the most unpopular politician in America – and with good reason.
Jayne, please ask Susan to explain how 26,000 absentee ballots in Palm Beach County need to be redone because the scanner are unable to read them. Oops, you will not ask her because she is a Democrat and part of the fraud.
A Democrat supervisor at a Florida government job telling subordinates: “If you are smart, you better vote Democrat and start with Obama.” I have to ask to stop indoctrinating people during work hours, especially gullible students!
The Governor did have those Illegals removed from the voting roles.
nO ILLEGALS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE , THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO GET THERE CITZENSHIP PAPERS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE COMING TO THE usA, AND iD SHOULD ASKED FOR.
Find out who this is and for Gods sake lock their ass up in prison.

The FL Sec of State is investigating these letters, which is kinda odd, since there seems to be a connection between the Reps and his office and these scam letters. Let’s not forget the other Reps currently being held for voter registration fraud.
Unbelievable for Susan to deny she sent the letter since the telephone number and the email goes directly to her. Someone better verify this before November 6; otherwise Obama will get away manipulating voting right with his orchestrated fraud.
Two things:
1. This does look like a legitimate letter sent by Bucher of which Sid Dinerstein the GOP chair still has his full confidence in her that she is doing a good job. WTF? At what point will someone take this serious and run against her? Come on Jack Furnari you must know someone that will be better. I am shocked and dismayed that both the GOP and Furnari couldn’t find a legitimate candidate to run against her and throw money behind them (Please do not read that as a mean gesture just as a question). Remember the 2000 election where our PBC decided on Bush with only 400+/- votes. Now she has over 60,000 thanks to the absentee ballot screw up that has to know be hand counted. huh 1 for Romney 2 for Obama, you guys better know what your doing and have plenty of eyes and ears on that hand counting floor!
2. The second sheet attached to the letter looks like it was filled out please tell me Diamond didn’t actually fill it out!?
PLEA, Please find someone in 2016 to run against this Partisan Hack! I will help you in whatever way I can! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Anyone with a computer can obtain the Tel. # and e-mail address for Susan Bucher at the SOE office. What does a “legitimate” letter look like ? Have you not seen or received e-mails from banks, credit card companies and other entities, all looking very “official and legitimate” phishing for personal data so that it can be used for nefarious purposes. It’s not too dificult armed with your computer to obtain Names and addresses and party affiliations for folks in Palm Beach County. How do you think all Politicrap mailers that have invaded our mail boxes from both sides have managed to arrive on a daily basis ? How does Jack Furnari get your address to send you “Jack’s List ” just in time for elections? They buy these lists. This hoax is definitely voter fraud and should be investigated. To imply that the SOE and Susan Bucher are responsible and instigated this, is a giant leap of logic. Think it through Jessica, remember paranoia can be cured with a dose of common sense.
