Arrest warrants were issued Thursday night after a grand jury handed up four indictments. The charges stem from allegations that Dyer's campaign staff illegally paid people to collect absentee ballots, particularly among the city's minority communities.
Dyer is charged with one count of providing pecuniary gain for absentee ballot possession or collection -- a third-degree felony.
Because in a close election helping to raise your oponent's numbers is sound strategy.

Dyer has said he signed checks and approved invoices worth about $10,000 for Thomas during the re-election campaign. The documents do not say what Thomas was being paid to do, and Dyer has said he didn't know, either.
This happens to me all the time. I pay someone 10 grand and I have no idea why.
One person who may be tapped to be replace Dyer is Mayor Pro Tempore Ernest Page, who is also a city commissioner.
Strangely enough, Page is also the last Orlando elected official to be removed from office by the governor. He was convicted of dealing in stolen property and jailed in 1985, but he later had his rights restored and was elected back into office in 1996.
Well if the people are gonna keep reelecting garbage no wonder they are so screwed up down there.
"Please vote for me, I know I violated your trust by dealing in stolen merchandice last time you elected me, but this time I'm a changed man. Really. No really. Serious." =D
