Anti-Mask Florida Official Dies of COVID--and Takes GOP Software Secrets With Him

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Just a day after testing positive for COVID-19, a Florida Republican official who battled against mask mandates, attacked the vaccine, and railed at CDC officials has died in Tampa.

Gregg Prentice, who was 61, led the Hillsborough County Election Integrity Committee—and his sudden death has sent the local GOP scrambling as it no longer has access to essential campaign-finance software without his help.

In a Sept. 14 letter to the Federal Election Commission, the Hillsborough County Republican Executive Committee reported it might not be able to file its monthly financial reports as required—because only Prentice knew how to do it.

“Gregg’s software converted data from our Quickbooks software to supply the information needed by the FEC,” it states. “Unfortunately, Gregg passed away suddenly from Covid-19 on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021. Gregg did not share the software and instructions with our officers. We will have to enter the August data manually, and according to the information we have received from our FEC analyst, Scott Bennett, we may likely have to re-enter the data from our first 7 months of 2021.

1. Grift alert!

Otherwise.....sorry this guy died but at least he made it memorable for his fellow covid deniers.

2. That is actually hilarious.

Not so much the part about he died, but that his local GOP can't access campaign finance software.

That he died is an excellent example of irony.

3. Make sure the ONE GUY who knows all the passwords

... gets vaccinated, no matter what.

9. I must be one sick puppy

because I laughed so hard it brought tears to my eyes at the schadenfreude this story invoked in me.

10. Hey, we're only human. Things can be sad and funny all at once. I laughed, too. nt

11. How dumb are the repubes? Quickbooks is very easy to use and format. Find a high school

nerd and they can show you how it's done. Sounds like they have access to the data already since they mention being able to do it manually. LOL too funny!

13. I know someone who does similar stuff here

He's great, but if he was gone, we would just do it the old fashioned way.

12. Pssst...his software password is IAMADUMBASS

Just sayin'

[vanlassie]

14. Just how long do they think it would take to re-enter

seven months of data? Good grief.

15. Too cheap to hire a technical writer.
