Miami-Dade Police were called to the Coral Reef Library during early voting Sunday 
after trust fund baby Andrew Korge allegedly harassed one of the campaign poll workers stumping for former State Rep. Ana Rivas Logan and ripped palm cards out of her hands.
Yes, Ana Rivas Logan is still in the race. She only suspended campaigning but the more Korge bullied her — sending others to ask her to formally withdraw, then sending two negative mailers to Democrat primary voters likening her to Donald Trump and Rick Scott and following up with a robocall telling voters that a vote for Rivas Logan will not count — the more resolved she became to resume the campaign, albeit just with some poll workers at early voting. After all, that’s all she really needs.
And that must have pissed Korge off.
“He walks up very fast to me and starts yelling, ‘Hey! She’s not running. You are a liar,'” said the woman wearing a white t-shirt with the word “DEMOCRAT” emblazoned across the top in blue. She was passing out palm cards for Rivas Logan and no other candidate. “He ripped the palm card out of a voter’s hand and threw it on the floor. He was telling the voters that their votes for Ana were not going to count.”
Korge could not be reached for comment. Ladra messaged him on Facebook, sent him an email and called two telephone numbers associated with his campaign, but got no call back. I wanted to get his side of the story. I mean, he even took photos and could have a video of the encounter.
“He was following me around with his phone like this,” the woman said, holding her phone right up to Ladra’s face and reminding me a lot of the harassment from Hialeah Mayor Carlos Hernandez via Glenn Rice in Hialeah.
“He was harassing me. He was yelling, ‘Who’s paying you? Who’s hiring you?’ He got in front of me so I couldn’t pass cards to voters,” the woman said. She wouldn’t give me her name. She wouldn’t let me take a photo of her.
“When he was leaving, he was on the phone telling someone else to come down here and he was giving them my description — everything I was wearing down to my hat,” the woman said. “I don’t know. 
Anyone is capable of doing anything. He has a lot of money. Maybe I get hit by a car when I leave here.”
Rivas Logan got a text just before noon that one of her campaign workers was being harassed. “When I got there the woman was shaking,” the candidate said. Police were called to write a report but the woman didn’t even want to give them her address. “She’s so scared this man will show up at her house.”
Police wrote it up as a dispute. Nobody was arrested.
But Rivas Logan said she has talked to an attorney about filing a lawsuit or complaint for interfering in a campaign. Of course, it wouldn’t be the first time. Korge is already under investigation for having allegedly tried to bribe Sen. Dwight Bullard out of the race with $25,000.
One might think he’d be trying to fly under the radar and not draw law enforcement attention.
