**Election Interference by Orlando City Hall: Is This Truly a Mickey Mouse Town?**

We have a compelling story to tell, and this is just the beginning. The narrative extends far beyond Travaris McCurdy; he is merely a pawn in a larger election scheme orchestrated by City Hall to install their preferred candidate. The goal is to secure votes for the mayor’s pet projects. The mayor seeks individuals with troubled backgrounds whom he can control. Our efforts involved standard opposition research and public records requests.

For instance, the Orange County Sheriff John Mina promptly fulfilled our request, as did all other government agencies except the City of Orlando. For months, we have been battling their resistance. They underestimated us, assuming we would back down. They believe that after tonight, it’s over, but that’s far from the truth. Their authoritarian tactics demonstrate a disregard for democracy and transparency.

Consider the case of a former elected official, suspended for a first-degree felony, who is now out on bond and meddling in the very election she was suspended for. Does she care about McCurdy? Certainly not. She is delusional, believing she will return to office and sees him as an easy opponent. But there’s a much bigger reason behind her actions. We know the answer and remember she brought this on herself by interfering in the election. She should be reflecting about the 96 year-old victim.

The City of Orlando still holds more records on Mr. McCurdy. They issued a notice 24 hours before the election at 5:30 PM, sending three separate emails. Only after multiple letters of demand and attorney involvement did they release the police file on the Thursday before the election. The first two emails stated they couldn’t assist, while the third email requested money, implying they had something this time. This happened past 5 PM on Monday, the day before the election, indicating they are clearly hiding something. They refuse to release all the records.
