The ‘arroz con pollo’ style of electioneering may have been used in other elections and could possible date back to Al Franken’s miraculous victory in Minnesota, and it could have been used in the last miracle by Leticia Perez. Here’s how it works. According to The Miami Herald, absentee ballots were ordered to be sent out to people who did not actually request them. “The apparent intent was to bombard the absentee voters with phone calls, fliers and home visits in an attempt to sway their decision in favor of their candidate.” “Within (two and a half weeks), 2,552 online requests arrived from voters who had not applied for absentee ballots,” the newspaper reported. “They ballots were returned much too quickly for real people to be filling them out. They originated from only a handful of Internet Protocol addresses. And they were not random.” “The thwarted attempt targeted voters in three districts: “Democrats” in Congressional District 26, where four candidates — including a suspected ringer criminally charged Friday with federal elections violations — were vying to take on vulnerable Republican Rep. David Rivera; and other Republicans in Florida House Districts. They actually stopped this attempt but how many were not caught?
