Meet the three latest Florida Republicans accused of election fraud:

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. — Three elected officials in St. Johns County face criminal charges in connection to alleged election fraud involving the distribution of fake voter guides during the 2024 election cycle.

Action News Jax Ben Becker has learned that St. Johns County Commissioners Sarah Arnold and Christian Whitehurst, along with St. Augustine Beach Commissioner Dylan Rumrell, have each been charged with misdemeanor offenses related to the mailing of tens of thousands of voter guides. According to the charging documents, on or about August 1, 2024 through August 15, 2024, investigators say they were involved with voter guides that “falsely represented itself as an official publication of the St. Johns County Republican Executive Committee” that included incorrect candidate endorsements.

Political consultant Brianna Jordan is facing the only felony charges in the case, including tampering with physical evidence, conspiracy, and the unauthorized voter guide.

Two additional defendants, Jamie Johnson and Garrett Davis, are also facing misdemeanor charges connected to the investigation.

State Rep. Kim Kendall, who was a candidate during the election and considers herself a victim in the case, said the allegations go beyond partisan politics.

“This is something that crosses party lines. If we don’t have election integrity, then we have nothing,” Kendall told Becker.
