Like the title says - I’ve been co tacted on work and private phone and email to vote absentee in FL. I live in MI .
The last one today even listed my supposed FL address and a sample ballot .

Against my base instincts I did call my county Sheriff to report multi state voter fraud and probable identity theft.
We all know the answer to that call- absolutely nothing they can do about it .

Anyone else been getting these - not just random spam /junk but things with your “supposed “ address and an application to vote in another state ?

It's called a phishing scam. It's neither voter fraud or identity theft, that's why the sheriff was not interested in your call.

I recommend you contact that specific county Supervisor of Elections.

What county was it?

Pinellas?
Dade?
Orange?
^^^^^ Blue counties.

As opposed to id theft or a scam, Could it be some kind of entrapment- eg entice you to vote fraudulently

Whenever I receive one of the aforementioned texts, I just respond with one of these subtle hints as to my political leaning.

Replying to a phishing text or email only confirms to the scammed that your information is valid. I doubt some idiot in Indonesia or India gives a damn about your political affiliation anyway.

I had a 1 in 3 chance of being correct.
Nailed it on the first try.

It probably is a scam.
But it could also be an attempt to cancel your vote by getting you to vote twice which would cancel both votes and possibly cancel all future votes from you.
