Former GOP Florida state Sen. Frank Artiles was arrested on Thursday for allegedly violating election laws in last year's state senate race.

Local station WSVN reports that Artiles is facing multiple charges including illegal campaign contributions.

Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle has alleged that Artiles planted a shadow candidate in the Florida Senate District 37 election to defeat Democratic incumbent José Javier Rodriguez.

"What is a crime is making illegal campaign contributions to get a candidate to run," Fernandez Rundle said.

1. IF they were honest

The candidate that benefited from this illegal act would resign and allow a new election. Oh, wait, they're GQP.

2. Just saw something about this on TV last night.

It was possibly on Florida week. I was glad to see it was someone from the GOP as I figured it was, but the lady they were interviewing said she really didn't think Tallahassee would do anything about it. They are too busy trying to suppress voters and stop BLM rallies.
