I will be glad to help. But as always, anything contrary to your view will be ignored and "considered not on point".

104.047 Absentee ballots and voting; violations.--
(2) Except as provided in s. 101.62 or s. 101.655, any person who requests an absentee ballot on behalf of an elector is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

I suppose that you will argue that altering and resubmitting the ballot request of an elector is just a trivial little thing that should be ignored. However, the Fl legislature added this law as part of the anti-fraud package that was passed after the 1998 Mayoral election where ALL of the absentee ballots were disqualified.

The all powerful Lege said this conduct receives the same felony treatment as the act of marking someone else's ballot.

104.047 (4) Any person who marks or designates a choice on the ballot of another person, except as provided in s. 101.051, s. 101.655, or s. 101.661, is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
