EXCLUSIVE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has made much of his crusade to lock up felons who unwittingly voted in 2020, but one registered Republican allegedly voted illegally for nearly a decade before the feds stepped in last week.
David Joffe, Onasch’s lawyer, told The Daily Beast that he “doesn’t think” his client intended to break the law, but that, “A lot of times, people don’t really pay close attention to these things.”
“When she was going to college, they had those [voter registration] tables set up,” Joffe said. “And you’re a student, and you’re doing student things, you’re going to your classes, and you stop by, ‘Hey, what’s this?’ My understanding, she said, ‘I’m a Cuban national, not yet a citizen,’ and they told her, ‘This is your right, you can vote.’ And she’s a 17-year-old kid, so she says, ‘OK,’ and she signs up to vote, and proceeds to vote in multiple elections as she’s gotten older.
“He’s pretty proactive in terms of constantly taking her to court. He’s just constantly bringing her back to court for all different kinds of things—which parents can do.” During the naturalization ceremony, Onasch filled out a new Florida voter registration form, the complaint states. The filing includes a copy of the form, which shows Onasch answered “yes” to the first question, “Are you a citizen of the United States of America?” She then listed, among other things, her party affiliation, the Republican Party of Florida.
