I was once all in for Ron, and he beat Gillum, but after the Race, when votes were being stolen by way of the corrupt Election process in Broward County, and Ron was taking place ten thousand votes a day, together with now-Senator Rick Scott, I despatched in the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft in an instant ended, simply previous to them operating out of the votes important to win. I stopped his Election from being stolen…
