Romona Oliver, who served nearly 20 years in prison for a second-degree murder conviction, was leaving to go to work when Tampa police officers arrested her, citing a warrant that charged her with voting illegally in the 2020 election.
Oliver was 1 of 20 people arrested, the result of a new election security force championed by FL Governor Ron DeSantis to go after supposed voting fraud. But for those arrested, there’s a ton of confusion as to why they were allowed to vote in the first place if they weren’t eligible, especially in the context of a 2018 state constitutional amendment that restored voting rights to many individuals with felony convictions.
Oliver says she registered to vote at the Dept of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles. When she moved and changed her address, she registered again, obtaining voter ID cards in both instances. Oliver has pleaded not guilty.
