Ilegal Alien Mass Voter Fraud Discovered In Forida
Poor record keeping is what's leading to potential fraud in the elections system. And election supervisors say registering non-citizens will continue until they get more help.

Officials we spoke to say non U.S. citizens are voting in Lee and Collier counties.

"If there is a change by one vote and somebody's voted that really has no right to be voting," said Lee County Supervisor of Elections Sharon Harrington.

Nearly 100 registered are now under investigation for possible voter fraud.

"It could change the whole complexion of an election," Harrington said.

We found those 100 people after reviewing jury excusal forms. We compared the names of those who said they couldn't serve because they were not U.S. citizens to those listed on Florida's voter registration rolls.

"I was surprised that there were quite that many," Harrington said.

So how is this happening?

In some cases, human error got them on the voter rolls.

We found one Naples resident, who clearly marked she was not a U.S. citizen, but was registered anyway.

But the NBC2 Investigators also found many of those registered were signed up while at the Tax Collector's Office getting a drivers license.

We asked Susan Allen, the Lee County Tax Collector's Office Customer Service Director, if the system was just based on trust and she answered, "Definitely."

Up until two years ago, no one asked for proof of citizenship.

90-Year-Old Florida Woman Loses Leg In Alligator Attack
A 90-year old southwest Florida woman remains hospitalized after she lost her leg in an alligator attack.

Florida wildlife officials said Margaret Webb was walking near her home in Copeland, a small community east of Ft. Myers, on Wednesday when an 8-foot alligator lunged out of a canal. The gator clamped onto Webb’s leg and tried to drag her into the water.

Webb, however, was able to hang on long enough for a man driving by to stop and help her. That good Samaritan tried to shoot the alligator but it got away.

Wildlife officials at the time said the leg was “barely attached” after the attack and had to amputated.

Obama's support among Florida independents plummets after debt debate
Obama could have trouble in Florida, according to a new Quinnipiac poll that finds that the president’s approval rating among independents in the swing state dropped 9 percentage points to 33 percent following the announcement of a deal to raise the debt ceiling.

Quinnipiac looked at two sets of poll numbers: those from July 27 to July 31, before the agreement was announced, and those from Monday and Tuesday, after the agreement had been announced and was making its way through the House and Senate. During that time, Obama’s overall approval rating remained constant at 44 percent. But he saw a precipitous drop off in support among independents.

Last week, 42 percent of independents said they approved of the job Obama was doing as president, and 54 percent disapproved. But among those polled Monday and Tuesday, 61 percent said they disapproved of the job he was doing, and just 33 percent disapproved.

Florida Makes $63M Selling Names, Addresses, Dates Of Birth
The state of Florida made $63 million last year selling what many think is personal information.

Local 10 has learned the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is selling people's names, addresses, dates of birth, a list of the vehicles they drive, and it's legal.

"Per federal mandate, there are companies that are entitled to this information. Insurance companies, for example, are entitled to this information. Employers are entitled to this information," said Ann Howard of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

The state is currently selling this information to companies including Lexus Nexus and Shadow Soft. Those companies gather data on people and then sell that data. The companies must sign contracts with state claiming they won't harass people.

"This information cannot be sold to a company that plans to solicit business, such as companies that want you to come to their ice cream store or companies that want you to buy their vehicles,"

Florida Pain Doctor Suspended; 34 Patients Dead
A Florida pain doctor could be charged in the death of many of his patients.

Dr. Joseph Hernandez was suspended July 6 by the Florida Department of Health for overprescribing opiate painkillers, addictive drugs that can be lethal in high doses.

Of the 761 patients Hernandez saw at his Lake City clinic between January and April 2011, 34 are dead, according to a Florida Department of Health report.

"I mean, people are going to abuse drugs," Gilbert Schaffnit, Hernandez's defense attorney, told ABC affiliate WCJB. "The question is, How is any doctor, Dr. Hernandez or any health care provider, going to be able to control against that?"

Florida drivers shot in Bump and Rob attacks
There's a new crime in town. It's called the "bump and rob." And local law enforcement is increasingly worried over drivers being victimized.

So much so, they are warning Palm Beach County residents that if you are driving on the road between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. and another car bumps you from behind, do not get out of your car.

"It's very serious," said Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office spokesman Eric Davis. "We're sending out warnings and tips because it is serious."

From Palm Beach Gardens to Delray Beach, drivers are being robbed at gunpoint. The most recent incidents happened early Thursday.

Around 3 a.m. in Delray Beach, a "dark-colored Jeep brand SUV" bumped another car traveling north on Military Trail near Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach police Sgt. Nicole Guerriero said.

She said the victim got out of his car to check whether it was damaged. The passenger and driver of the SUV approached him with a gun.
