A Message from Alan Hays

Lake County's Supervisor of Elections

As we bid Thanksgiving goodbye, for many of us, our focus turns to Christmas; food, family events, and gifts!!

The holiday season always brings many emotions to the forefront of our minds and I'd like us to reflect for a moment on the gifts and blessings that are ours as Americans. How did we come to be so abundantly blessed?

I and many other Americans count it a true blessing to have been born in this great country. Across the globe there our countless others that yearn to come here and become American citizens.

Our forefathers gifted us with a tremendous system of government through our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Those two documents, taken together, serve as the foundation of our Republic. The Declaration states each of us are created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The founders created the government to protect those rights so that no one can take them away. The government did NOT give those rights to us, they came from our Creator, therefore no one should be taking them from us.

Here we are, 247 years after the Declaration of Independence, still enjoying the privilege of voting to choose our government leaders. May we NEVER forget the sacrifices those founders made to insure our liberty!! Let's devote ourselves to become informed about the candidates and issues as a way to demonstrate our appreciation for the gifts the founding fathers gave us.

From our SOE team to you and your family, may you have a wonderful holiday season including a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Florida Supervisors of Elections and Secretary of State Laurel M. Lee Join NASS in #TrustedInfo2022 Voter Education Effort

In preparation of the 2022 midterm elections, Florida Supervisors of Elections (FSE) and Florida Secretary of State Laurel M. Lee join the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) in the #TrustedInfo2022 education effort to promote state and local election officials as the trusted sources for election information.

“The biggest threat to our democracy is election misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation (MDM) that undermines voter confidence in the integrity of our elections,” states Wesley Wilcox, Marion County Supervisor of Elections and Florida Supervisors of Elections President. “Florida voters can be confident that our elections are accurate and conducted with the highest levels of integrity and transparency in our nation. We are committed to ensuring voters have access to accurate election information during the 2022 election cycle and beyond.”

The spread of misinformation and disinformation to influence voters and interfere with elections is a key concern,” said Secretary of State Laurel M. Lee. “We are grateful to be partnering with NASS and the Florida Supervisors of Elections for the #TrustedInfo2022 campaign to ensure that voters in Florida know that we are THE trusted sources for elections information.” 

Together, their goal is to ensure the integrity of Florida’s elections and to support fair, honest, and accurate elections in the State of Florida. As elections professionals, they want to highlight their committment to being the official trusted sources of election-related information in Florida. While there is a lot of information about voting and elections on the internet and social media, not all of it is credible. Your local Supervisor of Election’s offices and the Florida Department of State will remain the credible, verified source for election information. Many election officials will  use the #TrustedInfo2022 to flag official election information on social media and other sites.

To learn more about NASS’s #TrustedInfo2022 campaign, visit CanIVote.org and for trusted information about state and local elections, visit the official websites and social media accounts for your local Supervisor of Elections, and the Department of State’s website at DOS.Myflorida.com/elections.
