Evidence suggests several state Senate candidates were plants funded by dark money

MIAMI – Why would candidates for Florida Senate seats do no campaigning, no fundraising, have no issue platforms, nor make any effort to get votes?

Local 10 News has found evidence to suggest three such candidates in three Florida Senate district races, two of them in Miami Dade County, were shill candidates whose presence in the races were meant to syphon votes from Democratic candidates.

Comparisons of the no-party candidates' public campaign records show similarities and connections that suggest they are all linked by funding from the same dark money donors, and part of an elaborate scheme to upset voting patterns.

Surprised that the reporter can take the facts, to wit - there is evidence - and not make those facts the story. He dutifully obliges the corruptors by saying: evidence suggests.

Let's see. Pick one of the following-
