Florida Secretary of State Kurt Browning (Pic via dos.state.fl.us) Secretary of State Kurt Browning has asked Attorney General Pam Bondi “to investigate and seek applicable fines” for another teacher who recently got in trouble for breaking a part of the state’s new and controversial elections law, according to the Associated Press. The Daytona Beach News-Journal recently reported that New Smyrna Beach high school teacher Jill Cicciarelli could face legal problems because she preregistered high school students to vote without registering with the state beforehand
“„Browning wrote that election officials in Santa Rosa County have documented 76 registration applications collected by the teacher that appear to have violated the law that went into effect this year.
“„It requires third parties to turn in applications to the county Supervisor of Elections Office within 48 hours of being collected. The old law had a 10-day deadline.
“„Each violation can result in a $50 fine, but no single individual or organization can be fined more than $1,000 in a year.
“„The letter says the unnamed Pace High School teacher has a history of violations.
“„“The circumstances of this case greatly concern me,” Browning wrote.
