Trick or cheat? In this special bonus episode, Ana talks with José Javier Rodríguez, Democratic candidate for Florida attorney general, about candidate stacking, aka “ghost candidates,” a tactic used to manipulate elections by drawing votes away from opposing candidates. In 2020, Rodríguez lost his Florida Senate race by just 32 votes after a no-party candidate with the same last name was paid to run and then received more than 6,000 votes. Now, similar schemes are haunting the 2026 midterms, and Ana and José unmask how these tricks work, who benefits, and what they mean for the integrity of American elections.
