Lake County Supervisor of Elections Alan Hayes has an op-ed in the Orlando Sentinel titled, "Put Up or Shut Up About Fraud." In it, he accuses the voters of being conspiracy theorists and accuses them of trying to undermine democracy.
00:00:00.000In June of 2021, the Florida Supervisors of Elections, a nonprofit organization made up of the 67 elected supervisors of elections from the state of Florida, held a conference in Tampa.
00:00:11.000This conference was in direct violation of Florida's sunshine laws, which state that meetings with public officials must be open to the public and announced.
00:00:20.000At this conference, Mr. Alan Hayes was in attendance.
00:00:23.000Alan Hayes is the supervisor of elections for Lake County, Florida.
00:00:48.000We were supposed to have a protest today on the one-year anniversary of the crime of the century, the stolen election, of course, the theft of the 2020 presidential election.
00:00:58.000And, you know, ultimately the rally was canceled for some reason.
00:01:03.000But I still decided to show up because today, right, today Alan Hayes had an op-ed in the Orlando Sentinel.
00:01:11.000And the title was Lake Elections Chief, Put Up or Shut Up About Fraud Claims, in which he essentially, you know, accused the voters and the residents, the constituents here in District 11 in Florida, which is a majority Republican red district.
00:01:29.000Of course, these are people who proudly voted for Donald Trump.
00:01:33.000And from calculations that have already been made, over 75% of this constituency here believes that the 2020 election was fraudulent in some manner.
00:01:43.000And they support an audit of the 2020 election.
00:01:46.000And so he is the supervisor of election for Lake County.
00:01:49.000And he is telling the people who he works for, right?
00:01:56.000He's telling them to put up or shut up, right?
00:01:58.000And that's just really disrespectful, right?
00:02:00.000For an elected official who's in charge of our elections and preserving the integrity and the sanctity of our elections.
00:02:07.000His job is to ensure that, you know, he conducts our elections and carries out our elections with the utmost professionalism and honesty.
00:02:15.000And he's telling people to shut up and accusing them of being conspiracy theorists and accusing them of trying to undermine democracy, right?
00:02:22.000The same thing that the Democrats and the FBI called people on January 6th, right?
00:02:27.000Insurrectionists, people who are, they're accusing us of promoting baseless facts about the election.
00:02:35.000But the reality is that voter fraud is real, voter fraud exists.
00:02:39.000And, you know, majority of the country believes that the election was stolen.
00:02:44.000So far, in the data collected in Lake County, and we're still canvassing every single day, right?
00:02:49.000Gathering more data, so far, at least 35 people have been identified as having their voter registration at 1898 Burley Boulevard in Taveris.
00:04:12.000Absolutely unbelievable, shameful behavior from Lake County supervisor of election, Alan Hayes.
00:04:19.000We have literally been waiting outside this office for three hours to talk to him about a disgraceful op-ed he put in the Orlando Sentinel today in which he was disrespecting and trashing the voters of Lake County, telling them to shut up, basically calling them a bunch of conspiracy theorists who were trying to undermine democracy by presenting legitimate and valid concerns and questions about the 2020 election.
00:04:39.000And so you'll see on previous video that we walked up to the window of his office right there to talk to him, right?
00:04:44.000And he, of course, said that he was too busy.
00:04:46.000Well, we caught him with his feet on his desk watching TV.
00:05:07.000He works for us and he is now putting his window screen down and refusing to come outside.
00:05:11.000Well, if he really believes what he says, right, is he a keyboard warrior?
00:05:15.000Does he just want to talk a bunch of crap online and tell reporters all these mean things about voters, but he's too scared to actually talk to people face to face?
00:05:48.000The Lake County Supervisor of Elections office closes at 5 p.m.
00:05:52.000Laura and her team waited for over five hours.
00:05:55.000And at 10 p.m. that night, Alan Hayes was still waiting in his office, clearly hiding from Laura and her cameraman.
00:06:01.000Alan Hayes refused to come out of his office and discuss with Laura about his comment where he told voters of Lake County to shut up about voter fraud, ban Dominion machines, clean out the phantom voter rolls, and audit 2020.
00:06:15.000Help Laura get to Congress where she will fight for election integrity.
