Florida Republican ⁦@JoeGruters⁩’ text message strongly implies that the Fla GOP’s effort 2 curtail vote by mail is motivated by a desire 2 suppress Democratic votes rather than fraud prevention, the GOP’s official pretext. ⁦@TheJusticeDept⁩ 1/ politico.com/states/florida…

Recall that the Florida GOP is embroiled in a scandal, criminal case, and federal investigation arising from its use of shill candidates in 2020 to fool voters & siphon votes from Democrats. Here, @JoeGruters brags about picking up GOP seats, but doesn’t mention the shills. 3/

This is rich. While the Florida GOP is embroiled in a criminal case and criminal investigation arising from its use of shill candidates to scam Democratic voters in 2020, the RNC appoints the Florida GOP’s chairman, @JoeGruters, to the GOP’s “election integrity” commission. 4/

This is one of my sourced threads about the Florida GOP’s potentially criminal alleged financing of shill candidates to siphon votes from Democratic candidates. 5/ threadreaderapp.com/thread/1421505…
