“A special election must be called by the governor for Florida Senate District 37 because it’s so blatantly clear that the November race was corrupted and stolen with dirty political tricks. Voters in South Florida deserve to have their voices honestly heard in a free and fair election, and should be furious about this obvious perversion of democracy.”

“Shady partisan operatives who commit crimes like this have no respect for voters, democracy, patriotism or any ideals we all should value. It’s especially galling when the offenders are so shameless about it, even bragging. This is indisputable political thuggery which the governor has two choices: to sadly be part of this actual and glaring voter fraud, or to sincerely fix it with a special election.”
