Van Driver Plows Through GOP Voter Registration Tent In Florida, Sheriff’s Office Says

A man driving a Chevrolet van plowed through a Republican group’s voter registration tent outside of a Walmart in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday, in what Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott are calling a politically-motivated attack.

Members of the Republican Party of Duval County were registering voters when they say that a man driving a 1980s model brown van drove through the tent, destroying tables and chairs.

No injuries were reported from the incident, but a party volunteer told Jacksonville’s Channel 4 news that she was almost hit.

“It happened so quickly,” Nina Williams, the volunteer, told the news station. “I just barely got out of the way.”

The Duval County GOP said on its Twitter account that volunteers “narrowly avoided” being struck by the van.

The party also said that the man stopped the van after driving away and then paused to take a video or photo with his phone. The volunteers said he flipped the group off before leaving.

Rubio and Scott, who are Republicans, said on Twitter that the attack was “politically motivated.”
