If people want to see a stolen election, a real stolen election, they need to stop looking at the presidential race and check out Florida Senate District 37, where an unknown plantidate helped the GOP cheat.
What’s more: It looks like it’s not the only race has a fake candidate propped up by unknown sources in an order to throw the results.
For real.
While allegations of voter fraud from Donald Trump are all over the map and lawsuits were being dismissed left and right — 0 for 10 so far as of Wednesday — it is becoming increasingly apparent that NPA Alex Rodriguez was planted in the state senate race to syphon votes away from Democrat incumbent Sen. Jose Javier Rodriguez.
So that’s why Ileana Garcia is winning.
The planted candidate is NPA Alex Rodriguez — que coincidencia que he has the same last name (wink, wink) — who peeled away 6,376 votes which are suddenly very relevant in the midst of a manual recount with a 28-vote lead between Garcia and the other Rodriguez. The real Rodriguez.
Ladra suspected earlier but we know Alex Rodriguez is a plantidate for sure now thanks to WPLG Local 10’s intrepid Glenna Milberg, who not only found that he didn’t live at the Palmetto Bay home on his qualifying papers, but also that he was registered a Republican recently.
Shocking! Like that never happens here (read: always).
Then she found him. Only Glenna didn’t know it yet because he told her he was somebody else!
“But wait. There’s more,” Milberg wrote on her Facebook page. “Senate candidate Alex Rodriguez not only lied on his candidate filings, he lied to us! Thanks to a tip tonight, we learn the guy in our report who claimed to be a business partner is, yes … Alex Rodriguez.”
These side by side photos of Alex Rodriguez. The right is from the WPLG broadcast and the left is from Alex Rodriguez’s own Facebook page — on which, by the way, there is nary a mention of a senatorial campaign. Lots of football. Zero politics. Zip. Nada.
It certainly is curious. And easy to investigate.
“We’re focused on the recount,” said Christian Ulvert, J-Rod’s campaign consultant. “But there’s no doubt a growing number of voters in that district who are deeply concerned with what has come to light.
“We have always said that he is a shill candidate. The Republicans, no doubt, funded two candidates in this race,” Ulvert sad, adding that the campaign actually designed and mailed a piece to voters explaining that there was another Rodriguez in the race trying to confuse them.
“We knew from the minute he filed, because we’ve seen this playbook before. It’s all about voter suppression and confusion and the results, we see right now, show that some of that worked,” Ulvert told Ladra.
“And now we learn that there could be a deeper coordinated effort to deceive voters.”
He means Celso Alfonso, the NPA who ran in Senate District 39, where former State Rep. Ana Maria Rodriguez beat former State Rep. Javier Fernandez for the seat vacated by Anitere Flores. Alfonso also “loaned himself” $2,000 and didn’t fundraise and only paid his qualifying fee — same as Alex Rodriguez. Milberg talked to the 81-year-old — who was also recently a Republican — and the interview is quite, well, weird.
“Who paid for your flyers,” she asks him.
“I don’t have any flyers,” he says.
“Yes. You do. Who paid for them?”
“Well, we did. We have like $2,000 that we put on it.”
“So you paid for your own flyers?”
“Right.”
“But that’s not on your expense report.”
“No. No, I’m sorry.”
Anyone with two eyes and a brain can tell that Alfonso is lying. He doesn’t have any idea about any flyers. He has no idea how much it costs to send them. And he will lie to Glenna but will he lie to a prosecutor under oath?
Can we please find out? Because that’s what should happen next.
It doesn’t matter that Alfonso didn’t really impact that race. He got only 2,605 votes and Ana Maria Rodriguez, a former Doral councilwoman, beat Fernandez by 21,690 votes. What matters is that Alfonso and Alex Rodriguez were almost certainly recruited by the same person or people or entity in order to circumvent reporting laws.
They both filed and qualified at the last minute in June. They both have done zero campaigning on their own, allowing a political action committee called Our Florida — located at the Greenery Mall in Kendall, same place but a different suite number as Alex Diaz de la Portilla‘s Proven Leadership for Miami-Dade County PAC.
Our Florida got one contribution of $370,000 on Oct. 2 from one company, the Atlanta-based Proclivity, which says it is in the “social welfare” industry, and spent it all on Advanced Impressions LLC on Oct. 5, probably for mailers that seemed to provide progressive messages — climate change, police reform — to attract Democrat minded voters.
Fun fact: Our Florida is located at Kendall’s Greenery Mall, same place but a different suite number as Proven Leadership for Miami-Dade County, which is another mystery PAC, this one operated by Miami Commissioner Alex Diaz de la Portilla.
Prosecutors and investigators need to swoop in right now and question everybody and subpoena bank records and phone records. This was a concerted effort to thwart several Democrat aspirations.
This is what a stolen election looks like.
Stolen election? Look no further than Senate District 37 in Coral Gables added by Ladra on

Rob ,
Rundle ENABLES corruption , put aside Dem or Rep which is a con in Miami .
'' I would tell the leadership from the Democratic Party to F off. ''This is what Rundle pretty much tells the citizens of Miami- dade as she looks the other way at the engulfing corruption .
So whether you are a Dem or a Rep this is what Rundle by her lack of action is telling you .
To the first poster. If I was SA Kathy F Rundell I would tell the leadership from the Democratic Party to F off. After the way she was treated in her past election and endorsed a true socialist I would do my job but not meet with any of them. Now that she won and big, they want to kiss her rear end. Not.
gustavo Chacon,
My father has a friend who was a Doctor in PR , he is PR lived there his whole life but left PR before the hurricane due to how poorly run the hospital was , horrid political corruption and just constant problems they have there .
He is now in N.C working there ( loves it ) .
He told me that the best thing that could happen to PR is not one Puerto Rican politician , city official , etc running a thing there because they are the enemy of the island and it’s people , an assembly line of self serving crooks .
I was a teenager and thought the guy was nutty but I turned out to be as nutty now lol because as a Cuban I long for the day Cubans have zero or very little political input here , ” our ” politicians / officials are a disaster for us , they are organized crime .
Are non Cuban Hispanic politicos better ?
NO but they will NOT get a free pass like Cubans do .
” Why isn’t anyone in party leadership beaten down Kathy Fernández Rundle’s door down?”
I agree but we all know that she is the serpents head .
Miami isn’t about Rep or Dem but about Cuban Cosa Nostra politics and she is pure Cosa Nostra but she is reelected over and over .
I just saw this on channel I was watching .
” Prosecutors and investigators need to swoop in right now and question everybody and subpoena bank records and hone records.”
NOT going to happen here .
Having said this no one was forced to vote for him and this is pretty much what happens when you simply vote for ‘ No Party Affiliation ‘ when the actual race is between Rep and Dem .
I could see if people knew him and he had a real chance but if not its a wasted vote .
I love Independents but I know better then to throw my vote away and thus politics for me is lesser of evils .
Anyone who commits or attempts to commit voter Fraud should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law regardless of Party affiliation ! You have the top people in the FBI like Former Director James Comey as well as his underling Flunkies that set up President trump as well as General Flynn .This is the kind of America we live in with 0 accountability for our Law enforcement agencies! It’s gotten really bad people .
We’s aching for a fight, but we’re advised, ” ¿ quién pone el muerto ?.
And why aren’t the democrats making this a big deal? WTF is Terrie Rizzo on this? Why isn’t anyone in party leadership beaten down Kathy Fernández Rundle’s door down? You all remember Mr David Rivera and his congressional run when they planted the third candidate in that race against Joe García? Seems like a replay of that and people went to jail for that one. By the way, has anyone seen David Rivera or that Maduro money he received? Just saying.
Welcome to The Miami Dade Dirty Politician’s and Their Corruption GAMES ? Has this been done Before? By Booth Sides? Have anyone claim corruption or fraud ? Do we Have Boleteras ? Is dirty “Money” involve ?Are Lobbyist involve ?
The Answer is YES! We Have and HAD Corruption/Fraud and Nobody Cares or Will NOT be investigated , because if it was WE will NOT have any Politicians >? Welcome to #OURCOUNTY !
This is textbook Republican playbook material. No wonder the Republicans have a stranglehold on the FL Senate AND House. Even if I was a Republican I’d be mad as hell about this. Elections need to be fair for everyone. This is BLATANT election fraud and it appears to be sloppy at best. Hopefully this will be investigated but I’m not holding my breath.
