State and local investigators said they used fingerprints and DNA from saliva found on five mail-in ballots to track down a Casselberry man and charge him with voter fraud.
Bret Warren, 36, was arrested Wednesday and booked into the Seminole County Jail on several other charges, including possession of oxycodone.
Its really an interesting case in how we were able to find him, said Evelyn Estevez, a public information officer for the Altamonte Springs Police Department.
In October 2016, days before the general election, several residents of the Spring Valley neighborhood in Altamonte Springs reported to the Seminole County Supervisor of Elections Office that they had not received their absentee ballots.
The elections office called law-enforcement officials after discovering that the five residents ballots apparently were stolen and turned in with fake signatures and with votes cast.
Investigators with the Altamonte Springs Police Department, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Seminole County Sheriffs Office lifted DNA evidence from the portion of the envelopes that are sealed with saliva, according to a police report.
Investigators also were able to match the fingerprints on the envelopes with Warrens fingerprints in a federal registry, police said. An FDLE laboratory report indicated that the DNA on the envelopes matched Warrens, according to the police report...
Ertel said its unknown which candidates the fraudulent ballots were cast for because the ballots were sealed when turned over to law enforcement. Warren is not a registered voter.

You don’t have to be registered to vote Democrat.
You don’t have to be a citizen to vote Democrat.
You don’t have to be living to vote Democrat.
Yep. This one type of thing takes place thousands or tens of thousands of times all over the country.
They don’t have to do it everywhere, just strategically in places that need it.
And it is only one party doing it.
But hey, as far as it goes, we won’t hear squat about it, even though they could make public who those votes were cast for, but they won’t.
If he were a dreamer the would have slobbered all over him.

“Stop, or I swear I’ll spit!”
Lies! The elections office wouldnt have known the votes were cast if the envelopes had remained sealed.
Tomorrow’s headline: Dems propose to spend 40 gazillion dollars to switch to self sealing absentee ballot envelopes.
Horrible reporting... Which "Federal Registry?"
Wait, I’ve been told that voter fraud NEVER happens.
Unfortunately, this evidence is pretty weak - circumstantial - and it will be surprising if he gets convicted on it with a halfway competent lawyer, probably paid for by the Democratic Party.
I’d like to see this kind of rodent get sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Good point. We know if the votes had been cast for Trump, the corrupt media would have reported it.
Bubba says, “I’m in for homosexual rape and murder, what are you in for?
Fresh meat, I’m in for voter fraud.
Ben Dover, I thought you name was Bubba
'According to the Orange County Clerk of Court, Warren was arrested in 2015 on charges he tried to defraud an investment company out of more than $33,000 in fraudulent checks. '

Interesting that the Postal Inspectors didn’t participate in the investigation. Theft of mail is a Federal offense.
