https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/11/11/evidence-suggests-several-state-senate-candidates-were-plants-funded-by-dark-money/Local 10 News has found evidence to suggest three such candidates in three Florida Senate district races, two of them in Miami Dade County, were shill candidates whose presence in the races were meant to syphon votes from Democratic candidates.
Comparisons of the no-party candidates' public campaign records show similarities and connections that suggest they are all linked by funding from the same dark money donors, and part of an elaborate scheme to upset voting patterns.

That $370,000 PAC expenditure to the printing house on Oct. 5 is the sole expenditure of Our Florida. And the PACs only contributor is an entity called Proclivity, whose $370,000 contribution is listed two days earlier.
Proclivity lists an address that traces back to a mailbox in a UPS Store in Atlanta.
Florida law allows the group to keep people behind its money private.
Local 10 News could not locate any businesses registered in Florida or Georgia under the name Proclivity.

(10,053 posts)1. Very disturbing.
The end of the money trail leaves no information on who is ultimately funding at least three candidates for Florida Senate who did no campaigning and no fundraising, whose presence in the race might have recalculated the number of voters who cast votes for the Democrats in the race.
The current laws for funding campaigns are ridiculous. There's zero accountability.

Where's the Republican screaming over other states like Florida? Why aren't the kicking up dust over Cali?
