Katherine Fernandez Rundle, State Attorney for the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida, stated the evidence shows “(DeFillipo) voted illegally three times.” In August, October, and November 2022 DeFillipo voted in a district he was no longer a resident of. Police used cell phone data to track the democrat on the days he participated in illegal voting and found his presence in Miami-Dade before traveling to cast his ballot.
We in law enforcement take actions which violate our election laws very seriously. They are crimes. Today, we are charging Anthony DeFillipo, the present Mayor @NorthMiamiBeach, with 3 counts of Unqualified Voters Willfully Voting, 3rd degree felonies. pic.twitter.com/pUICntyegS

The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office confirmed DeFillipo’s arrest just before 10 a.m. Wednesday, holding a news conference Wednesday afternoon on his arrest for “voting irregularities.” Fernandez Rundle said that DeFillipo “deliberately swore to false information as alleged in this case, eats at the credibility of our voting and electoral systems.”
Michael Pizzi, the Mayor’s attorney, has called the charges against his client a “political hit job.” Yet, as we all know, when Democrats do something illegal or immoral, it’s never their fault and always a vast right-wing conspiracy at work.
It’s incredibly shameful that yet another Democratic politician is facing criminal charges. Voting is a fundamental right that must be protected and respected. The fact that a sitting mayor blatantly violated the laws is disgusting, and there should be no place for such dishonest individuals in public service. Let’s hope justice is served, and the people’s faith in the voting process is restored in North Miami Beach.
