A month before Election Day in Florida a mysterious company called Proclivity, Inc. contributed $550,000 to a pair of newly formed political action committees in the state.
Two days later, the money flowed from the PACs to an Orlando-area print and advertising firm.
Shortly
thereafter, came a torrent of nearly identical political fliers
seemingly intended to siphon away support from Democratic candidates by
tricking voters into casting their ballots for purported spoiler
candidates who demonstrated no real interest in getting elected. None,
for example, engaged in typical campaigning activities or raised
significant funds.
In
one case, the mailers appear to have helped a Republican—a co-founder
of Latinas For Trump—unseat the Democratic incumbent in a state Senate
race by a razor-thin margin of just 32 votes.
