Trial begins in alleged Florida election conspiracy that tilted a Miami Senate race
Briefly

Prosecutors are set to unveil how Frank Artiles orchestrated a scheme to influence the 2020 Senate race in Miami by endorsing a fake candidate, ultimately affecting crucial votes.
Frank Artiles allegedly advised Alexis Pedro Rodriguez on filing paperwork, changing party affiliation, and offered substantial financial incentives, including $50,000, to secure his role as a straw candidate.
After a recount, Democrat Jose Javier Rodriguez lost to Republican Ileana Garcia by just 32 votes, with the shadow candidate garnering over 6,000 votes, significantly impacting the election outcome.
Artiles, who has pled not guilty, reportedly boasted about tipping the election in favor of his party, revealing the scope of manipulative strategies employed to distort democratic processes.
