Far-right activist Laura Loomer claimed voter fraud kept her from winning the GOP nomination for U.S. House District 11 in Florida's primary election.

It also includes much of Lake and Sumter County and most of The Villages. We do not live in a country with free and fair elections,” she said. House District 11 used to contain parts of Lake, Sumter, Citrus, Hernando and Marion counties and encompassed all of The Villages.

The far-right House candidate lost, for real, to Dan Webster in a Florida Republican primary, but she blamed "election interference."

In 2020, the [Donald Trump-backed](https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/08/19/trump-laura-loomer-primary-gop/) Loomer won a GOP primary, but lost the general election in a landslide. And that is exactly the reason why, right, I decided to go against the RINO Republican Daniel Webster, do-nothing Daniel Webster.” “We have further exposed a corruption within our own feckless, cowardly Republican Party. (Watch the clip below.) [Republican Party](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/republican-party) is broken to its core,” she continued, per video posted by News 6′s Mike DeForest.

Charlie Crist (R-Fla.) won the primary and now goes up against DeSantis, who ran uncontested. Gaetz is currently under federal investigation for [sex trafficking](https://www.dailydot.com/debug/matt-gaetz-creepy-sex-statements/) a minor, which he denies. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) also ran uncontested. The fact that Florida voters nearly sent Loomer, who once Spalding won the primary in the state’s 25th congressional district. Val Demings (D-Fla.), who handily won her primary. Ron DeSantis (R) of covering up COVID-19 deaths. In the end, neither Gaetz’s legal problems or questions about his fealty to Trump kept Florida voters in his district from voting for him, as he handily won the primary. The surprising 44% of the vote Loomer received wasn’t enough to carry the 29-year-old who brands herself as the most banned woman in America to victory, however. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.) squeaked past Loomer with 51% of the vote. In perhaps the most shocking result, Islamophobe Laura Loomer got 44% of Republican primary voters in the state’s 11th congressional district. Because the American people deserve representation.”
