windzo 811 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 A Republican former state lawmaker in Florida has been charged with paying an associate to mount a fake candidacy to run against a similarly named Democratic candidate to spoil a 2020 election. Frank Artiles, who resigned from his state senate seat in 2017, was charged on 18 March by the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office for allegedly enlisting a friend with the same last name as a Democratic candidate in a state senate race in south Florida in an effort to siphon votes from the Democrat to ensure a Republican victory. The Republican in the race, Ileana Garcia – a staunch supporter of former president Donald Trump – narrowly won that race by only 32 votes of the more than 215,000 cast. Alexis Rodriguez, the fraudulent candidate, received more than 6,000 votes. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/frank-artiles-ileana-garcia-florida-election-b1820020.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skaxboy 6,924 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Illegitimate Garcia is more like it. Misleading voters is voter fraud in my eyes. I can’t wait to hear what the conservative news outlets say about this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Heart 15,041 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I'm sorry but how do you not know the name of your own candidate? ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about people who vaguely know what’s going on, but aren’t too informed. Maybe they’d remember “the Latino candidate” or “that Rodriguez guy” from adverts, fliers, etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they’d remember “the Latino candidate” or “that Rodriguez guy” from adverts, fliers, etc But the other candidate has "NPA" next to their name, and the other Rodriguez has "DEM" next to his at the voting booth, which is why this is all so dumb. Ultimately it's the voters' responsibility to actually know the name of the candidate AND to make sure they bubble/ click on the right candidate.. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
