Whatever the condemnations, they will never keep pace with the shenanigans Republicans must stoop to in order to compensate for the shifting demographics in electoral politics. The rapidly evaporating supply of geriatric white men renders future prospects for the party beyond problematic. And they know it! We’re in for ever more “creative” extremes to be pulled from the elephant’s bag of dirty tricks.

Well, it’s only an example…

Well….yes. It’s more common than you think to split votes, old trick, but you don’t pay them off.

@KNOWITALL – They always pay whores. It’s professional courtesy ;)

Probably they will condemn it if they hear about it. They also will project the accusation onto Democrats. If this incident goes across social media far and wide next thing you know Democrats will be accused of paying Republican candidates who could never win.

“Florida Republican leaders say they are standing by a former Miami-Dade state senator who was arrested on election fraud charges Thursday, rebuking Democratic calls to hold a special election in order to ensure a legitimate vote.

Florida’s GOP-controlled legislature is among dozens of states promoting stricter “voter integrity” laws in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s unfounded claims of fraud in the November 2020 election. But Florida Republicans say the GOP state senator who was elected—by a slim 32-vote margin—through allegedly deceptive means instead has the party’s “full support.” Miami-Dade County State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle filed felony charges against former state Senator Frank Artiles Thursday, accusing him of organizing a $50,000 “ghost campaign” aimed at unseating incumbent Democratic state senator Jose Javier Rodriguez. The “sham” independent candidate neither lived in the district nor campaigned for the seat.”
