For the FBI is now joining the investigation into what looks like a big case of trying to prevent folks from voting.

In the critical swing state of Florida and it looks like most of those people are Republicans.

The letters claiming to be from the county board of elections and look very official except for the Seattle post mark.

So far letters have been reported in 23 Florida counties even the chairman of the state Republican Party got one and he joins me live now when he -- -- -- -- This is it's pretty stunning so these letters say you may not be able to -- -- may not be a citizen and you -- at the eligible and they're trying to stop people from showing up at the polls.

How many folks -- these.

Well did they don't appear to be very widespread this stage I was actually traveling this week I was down -- for the debate on Monday when I began hearing that.

Donors were getting them and some elected officials at that stage I got back in in my hometown Jacksonville just for a short brief period of time.

Which in my business office which I spend very little time -- these days.

And had one of these letters.

Iran irony is I'm not registered to vote -- my business letter where the this letter arrived it's not that zip code is now my voter registration is so.

We don't how widespread this is.

But it's wrong and people need to know that if they get this letter they get any letter that's trying to intimidate them or discourage them.

They needed to show up and vote.

Why don't believe that if mostly Republican voters getting the letters.

Well the first round the first round of folks that reported this to their supervisors of elections and the various counties.

Were Republicans.

And in fact they were Republican donors and elected officials and I did get news last night though however that.

Some Democrats have received the letter as well we just again don't know how widespread it is we don't really know the strategy because.

He's super voter -- -- -- -- grassroots activist getting this -- is going to be Smart enough to know that it's it is not that is not valid.

-- vote the concern is that this is widespread.

This may scare and intimidate some people.

I don't listen to this -- get one of these letters do not listen to it no matter what your party affiliation is of the constant some guy in Seattle without a return address you have the -- official you can't listen to it.

Some people -- did check it very carefully is this voter fraud the FBI's involved now.

Voter fraud mail fraud and let's hear it here this is the last two -- the election this is the silly season.

And we see all kind of stunts but whatever political operative slime is pulling this off.

I mean I just on how you they get up in the morning and look at themselves in the mirror got a bad at night it is it's wrong and it's illegal.

Clear that the UN was getting involved in some states to monitor the elections on the polling day and that's causing controversy because the -- that you get people from Kazakhstan coming over to -- US elections.

When you use there help here are you -- -- getting beat this UN group to help you in the state of Florida.

I don't think we need to UN's help but look out more about transparent elections so anybody wants to observe what were up two.

Come to Florida par 67 supervises our elected officials.

And they're gonna do the right thing on Election Day.

Neck and neck right now the real clear politics average shows Romney up by two points.

Real clear politics average of all -- so we will see -- thank you.

Always a pleasure.
