So was Matt Gaetz part of the ghost candidate voter fraud

in Florida?

https://www.businessinsider.com/feds-investigating-matt-gaetz-sham-candidate-florida-elections-nyt-2021-4

In November, the GOP candidate in the race, Jason Brodeur, an associate of Gaetz, beat the Democratic candidate, Patricia Sigman, to win a seat in the state Senate.

The Times reported that investigators had been told about a conversation in which Gaetz and Chris Dorworth, a prominent Florida lobbyist, discussed running a fake third candidate to siphon votes from Sigman and boost Brodeur's chance of winning.

A third-party candidate, Jestine Iannotti, did run in the race. Brodeur ultimately beat Sigman by more than 7,000 votes, more than Iannotti got.

all kinds of irregularities in Florida's elections. In most cases I would give some benefits of doubt but not in this matter. I find Florida's governor to be extremely corrupt, the now present US Senators Scott as well.

Gaetz is in your face corrupt and apparently intensely into younger females.

Voter Fraud is an individual act. Voting twice, or impersonating a voter.

The GOP engaged in wholesale Election Fraud. They rigged elections to invalidate every non GOP vote. They ran ghost candidates to secure GOP victories.

Voter Fraud is the distraction for the real election fraud.
