her donors should sue her for fraud

Imagine nominating, donating to, and then voting for a Democratic Representative who wins the seat and then immediately switches to the Republican Party. In FLORIDA.

Hillary Cassel & Susan Valdes need to be investigated.

When i first saw this I automatically assumed Elon bought them.

carmenreads.bsky.social•72 days ago

Apparently there is not enough vetting happening by the state org. They were so happy that we had someone running for every seat . . .

keli-says.bsky.social•72 days ago

This is 100% fraud.

helloandrew.bsky.social•72 days ago

If Green Party members had taken this approach when she was first elected to congress we might have been spared the nightmare of Kristin Sinema.

Maybe elected officials should be required to step down and run again in the next election if they want to change parties after an election,

doug-profitt.bsky.social•72 days ago

100%

georgiablue33.bsky.social•72 days ago

A hateful, lying *bleep* named Tricia Cotham did this in NC last cycle, giving Rs the supermajority in Raleigh. Bribes or blackmail? We need better recourse. Sue these 🤬s.

merrittwdwking.bsky.social•72 days ago

Recall this grifter.

thematahari.bsky.social•72 days ago

As they should.

karijohn.bsky.social•72 days ago

It should not be allowed. Step down.

peonies12.bsky.social•69 days ago

Johnson is one vote away from speakership. Guess she took the $$ to ensure he doesn't loose the seat. Creeps!

coreyj.bsky.social•72 days ago

That should absolutely be considered fraud and a reason for a new election.

kwangger.bsky.social•72 days ago

This is what I’ve been saying! Take them to court! Hit them in the wallet since that’s all they care about.

satantrump.bsky.social•72 days ago

And unless they sue her or impeach her and they have to do it in force it’s not gonna change she’ll stay! you want what you for a Democrat then fight for one!

cherylfl.bsky.social•72 days ago

I am pissed! She lives in my city! How dare she. This was surely preplanned. She won't be re-elected for sure now as a Republican. She would not have gotten elected if she didn't run as a Democrat. Diabolical. 🤬🤬🤬

luisa90.bsky.social•72 days ago

They should sue or demand that she be expelled due to committing fraud to her constituents. she was always a republican I would not put it pass that the republicans helped her run it’s an easy way to gain a seat

erohealthcomms.com•72 days ago

It shouldn’t be allowed. It should trigger a special election and all money returned.

admiralmpj.bsky.social•72 days ago

More than that, some of the people who VOTED for her would not have voted for her if they knew she was going to be a Republican.

Whenever an Elected Switches parties like this, there should be an automatic Special Election in 90 days.

scotlandishson.bsky.social•72 days ago

This is systemic fraud by the republican party, all they do is cheat , zero consequences

carlajwilliams.net•72 days ago

Her voters should sue. I would be spitting mad if someone I voted for switched parties after the fact.

kielbasadude.bsky.social•72 days ago

Yeah. Great lawsuit. They'd win for sure. 🙄🙄

lxtruong.bsky.social•72 days ago

I'd lose my shit if I volunteered or donated to this woman 😂

joelance.bsky.social•72 days ago

There was one in North Carolina too, in the last couple of years

msm6794.bsky.social•72 days ago

Happening way too often. At the very least, if a person changes parties, there should be a new election.

Otherwise, the "legal definition of fraud is the intentional use of deception to gain an unfair advantage or cause harm to another person: deceit, unfair gain, harm." Seems Dems need a lawyer.

latinbolero.bsky.social•72 days ago

Agree

barb1158.bsky.social•72 days ago

She wasn’t elected to do that.
Laws are needed.

jackdawg52.bsky.social•72 days ago

ooh if only we could sue politicians for lying...
Wouldn't that be a wonderful world.
We would need a lot more Judges and court houses though...

nutzys.bsky.social•72 days ago

Absolutely.

starlightwishes.bsky.social•72 days ago

Somebody's check cleared.

stoshm.bsky.social•72 days ago

this shit should be illegal as any other grift or fraud

mixie943.bsky.social•72 days ago

I honestly wonder about democrats. Like seriously folks get off the pot or do something! Just 4 quick examples: Manchin, Synema, Biden, Harris of republicans elected as democrats.

aruss-updates.bsky.social•72 days ago

A better question is why the DNC is fine with Republican- and AIPAC-chosen candidates running as Democrats in the primary.

Democratic leadership (mind you, not all Democrats) is complicit. Follow the money.

nelannette.bsky.social•72 days ago

They've pulled this in a few other states, haven't they?

birdpoof.bsky.social•72 days ago

They have, over many years, including funding Green candidates.

oomeerrika.bsky.social•72 days ago

"vote blue, no matter who"

sorencookie.bsky.social•72 days ago

Unethical power-hungry people like her are cursed and will face her karmas.

keslerjr.bsky.social•72 days ago

Same thing happened with a Democrat from NC. I’ve always thought she should be sued for fraud. Why should it okay to change your party after you’ve been elected?!

staceyberg.bsky.social•72 days ago

If an elected official changes parties it should be treated as a resignation and a special election should be called. They should be allowed to run in that with their new party affiliation.

adriennemh2425.bsky.social•72 days ago

But what about all those we vote for who do not switch but vote against everything on which they campaigned, on which Democratic principles are built? The conniving, lying, and hoodwinking are everywhere. Very Sinematic, really.

dayzee634.bsky.social•72 days ago

The state Dem Party and voters need to carefully vet the candidates.

devans00.bsky.social•72 days ago

How can voters protect themselves from lying fraudsters who are determined to deceive and cheat during the election campaign? Are there clues in advance someone plans to switch parties after the votes are certified?

dayzee634.bsky.social•72 days ago

Could be. Look at what they have said and done in the past. What was their voting record if they held local office. What do people you respect say about them?

jpjarch.bsky.social•72 days ago

If there aren’t already we needs laws against this. If someone does this, it should trigger a special election and disqualify them from running and they should have to pay back all of their donors and the the cost of the special election. It’s straight up fraud.

tsiskwakwa.bsky.social•72 days ago

How is this legal?

81horses.bsky.social•72 days ago

I see the resemblance to Sinema. In her soulless eyes.

kielbasadude.bsky.social•72 days ago

Sinema has larger breasts, though.

81horses.bsky.social•72 days ago

Anyone can buy those

kielbasadude.bsky.social•72 days ago

Hers are real.

ur-tired-ur-poor.bsky.social•72 days ago

The Democratic Party needs to come up with some kind of contract candidates have to sign that prevents them from switching parties once elected. This has become a regular thing with Republicans.

birdpoof.bsky.social•72 days ago

A formal contract won't prevent them from switching but could introduce clear penalties, at least.

ur-tired-ur-poor.bsky.social•72 days ago

Exactly, if you make things painful enough it becomes preventative.

ur-tired-ur-poor.bsky.social•72 days ago

This is a screenshot of my profile from twitter, I'm even less tolerant over here.

wbrind.bsky.social•72 days ago

She should have to go through a re-election as a republican. Or be sued for misrepresenting herself.

devans00.bsky.social•72 days ago

It’s fraud against the voters at the least. The official reaction should be more than a shrug and giggle.

Never seen any newly elected liar politician punished in any significant way. They’re just allowed to continue as a member of the new Party like no big deal.

jdinjc.bsky.social•72 days ago

shocker!🤣

gwbiscuit.bsky.social•72 days ago

Their donors should demand their money back. Feel free to use whatever means necessary.

lljones.bsky.social•71 days ago

There will be two seats up for special election April 1st...do we (Democratic Party) have any chances with those two seats? Donors should collect signatures in the district and file a request for her resignation. It appears to be planned and fraudulent.

morewildones.bsky.social•72 days ago

Yes, but the party and donors (and voters) need to vet their candidates better. People act like they just met these people yesterday and decided they were fit for office

corick.bsky.social•72 days ago

The good ol Post Malone move

ggegan.bsky.social•72 days ago

Now that is election fraud.

mjmm24.bsky.social•72 days ago

This should be illegal. Buncha bs

deborahyost.bsky.social•72 days ago

They're such stinking liars.
GOP = Gross Obscene Prevaricators

szeier.bsky.social•70 days ago

Absolutely. She defrauded her donors and voters. What a piece of garbage she is.

curious-blue-dot.bsky.social•72 days ago

I’ve seen reports of similar switches elsewhere.

deveshs.bsky.social•72 days ago

The same happened a year ago in North Carolina.

teegegend.bsky.social•72 days ago

We need better people running as Dems, and a Dem party that will vet and call out the bad ones when they try. This is unsustainable for the party.

robvo.bsky.social•72 days ago

100%

Another "pragmatic centrist."

lmsimon4.bsky.social•72 days ago

If you run under a particular party, you must stay with that party or quit. You should not be able to switch midterm. That is fraudulent.

ofwp.bsky.social•72 days ago

The stated reason being that the current democratic party isn't fanatically pro-Israel enough. So yeah, definitely someone who didn't care to find a good excuse for a party she was going to switch to anyways.
