- Randall Sand is/was a fake political persona created by Jake Hoffman of Rally Forge. The fake politician persona was Randall Sand, who described himself on his campaign website as an Independent Candidate for Arizona's Fifth Congressional District. His Twitter Page similarly lists him as a "Former Independent Congressional write-in candidate." Sand's Facebook presence used a photo of film director Derrick Acosta, and posted a doctored image of a Derrick Acosta interview. The Page also shared several doctored images of news story headlines purporting to be from local press featuring Randall Sand; however, the articles do not appear to exist on the newspaper sites.[113][114]
