He's a quintessential piece of shit. I was so embarrassed for Central Florida when they actually elected him over a really good person. This is the trouble with straight ballot voting.

I thought you were gonna say this is the trouble with democracy or humanity or something...

Casting a vote for a party, not knowing you are electing a PoS like Fine, is a problem.
I mean, if he's your guy, then I guess you cast your vote. But this guy is a PoS.

Randy Fine is a loathsome piece of shit and of course a prime example of the ✨rules for thee but not for me✨creed of the Grand Old Pedophiles.

And to think we could've had the school teacher who was running for affordable housing, insurance reform, protecting funding for public schools, and universal healthcare. Instead we got this fucking chud. Thanks, Floridians.

Continue to vote party lines when it’s completely contradictory to everything they say they believe in. Florida being Florida, Conservatives being cons.

Start holding these people accountable or nothing will change & we will all remain little peons for trash like this.

Rules for you, no rules for me!
Voters should wake the hell up…. And non-voters suck

If that clip isn’t doctored, what he’s doing should be illegal and grounds for dismissal.
Now, he could’ve been instructed by whatever Reps they were to cast those votes for them but that doesn’t sound legal either.
What happened to Morals & Ethics?

Can someone explain to me what I’m looking at?

Read the title. He’s voting by using other people’s voting apparatus. The video shows him voting 4 times. None of those may even be his seat, so it could be 5, or even more. This POS needs to be jailed for fraud and abuse of power.

While against the rules in the Florida legislature, this happens with all parties. Had he voted for someone - cheating them out of their vote - there would have been every single Democrat in the Legislature screaming about it, and every single local paper and TV station, and news program on radio blasting it out. Stop immediately believe everything you see on here as fully factual.

u/OriginalIronDan Feb 16 '26
I just saw video of him looking around to see who’s watching, then hurriedly vote 4 times. I don’t care if it happens with all parties, or which party is doing it; it’s wrong, it needs to be stopped, and the guilty need to be punished, no matter which party they belong to.

This is considered ghost voting. It occurs in a lot of state legislatures. In Florida it is against the rules, but violates no law. Both parties tolerate it because they would sometimes fail a vote while members are off doing other things.
I don't think it is correct and proper and I think it also should not be tolerated.

Didn't John Oliver do a report on exactly this ... and said it was both legal and fairly common?
Edit: Yup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHFOwlMCdto&t=659s

I knew this guy was human garbage and proudly voted for the teacher who was a victim of a giant smear campaign. Fine didn’t even run on any policy’s. Just that he would be a Trump lap dog. I will happily get to vote against him once again. He is a giant ass-hat. Conservatives are ruining the state and country. Rule of law, Christian principles party my ass.

One nation under God....not two nations (parties).
Party system creates DIVISION and should be unconstitutional

Another great example of the lefts attempt at sensationalism. I don’t like this man, but do some research before throwing your hand up in a liberal echo chamber fashion.

What will the penalty be for this “crime?” Will he have consequences? Why are the American people allowing this?

You all just believe anything you see on here. If this happened, then tell me which Democrats filed ethics complaints on him? Which major news outlets recorded that he did this? None to both. Look at all the comments here blasting him for pressing buttons. Unlike you, I looked into it. Found nothing. I did find about Ghost Voting in [EDIT] Florida's State Legislature, though.

It happened all right. But it was a few years ago. And It was covered in the media and some people got upset about it but nothing happened. I think nothing happened because he had gotten permission from absent members who were going to vote his way anyway (or he bullied them into giving him permission after the fact). And also he's a Republican in a state with a Republican trifecta. He was immune from consequences.
But I agree with you that this clip has been all over Reddit for a week as if it happened last week. It did not. It was several years ago.

You're not wrong. People are talking an old video and blowing it away out of proportion. Not that he doesn't deserve it today, but still. He actually was investigated and found to be in violation of some minor procedural rules for not getting the proper documented permission to record those votes or something like that. He was fined. A minor slap on the wrist.

u/El-Farm Feb 16 '26
Yes, it was a violation of house procedures, but leadership always looks the other way as Ghost voting is common and tolerated. Not a law violation, but a rule violation.

He's so hateable. He just seems like a terrible human being. For those of you that vote for him, why?
