"Fraud vitiates everything" to my understanding of that precedent wouldn't mean that DeSantis would be removed/forced to step down in that situation.
What that precedent is concluding is that there must be evidence of intentional fraud or knowledge of fraud happening by the person running. So in the example you gave DeSantis would've had to have orchestrated the fraud, or known about it but chose not to report it in order to be disqualified.

You mean like say on livestreamed video that you and someone else had orchestrated the biggest voter fraud organisation ever?
Yeah, lol! That would qualify.
They would chalk that up as a gaffe and say, "obviously he meant anti-fraud"
That makes sense, I didn't know it had the condition of the person running being involved. Thank you for the correction!
