She’s baaaaaack. After a long and strange absence (read: maternity leave) during all these AB fraud arrests and shenanigans in the past year, Absentee Ballot Queen Sasha Tirador has re-entered the political atmosphere — as a political pundit and AB expert. And, possibly, as campaign manager again for Hialeah Mayor Carlos “Castro” Hernandez, which may that she […]
The latest investigation into the abuse of the electoral system vis-a-vis absentee ballots is scandalous all by itself. But put together with decades of questionable and downright illegal AB activity, it’s an absolute outrage. Recent news about Congressman Joe Garcia‘s campaign having illegally requested hundreds of absentee ballots for unaware voters is just the latest […]
Once again, some lucky constituents have two, not one, elected fighting their battles in Tallahassee — while some unlucky schmucks have none. State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez (R-Hialeah), chair of the Miami-Dade Legislative Delegation, is still living in his old home, which was drawn into his colleague buddy’s district, even though Gonzalez was elected in a new number to which he […]
The first public glimpse into the absentee ballot machine in Hialeah may come this week via the uncle of former Mayor Julio Robaina, known as “El Tio,” who was arrested last year in one of the dominos to fall after boletera Deisy Cabrera was first arrested. Tio Sergio Robaina, who was arrested in August, faces two […]
The event Sunday afternoon was planned long before Friday’s news about irregularities with absentee ballot requests in the campaign that elected Congressman Joe Garcia. But the re-election fundraiser 18 months out and on the heels (read: as a result) of a growing number of declared Republican challengers in the highly-contested 2014 race showed that staunch […]
Guess what? Democrats are getting better at the absentee ballot fraud that has been traditionally owned by Republican candidates in South Florida. Jeffrey Garcia, longtime political strategist and now disgraced former chief of staff for Congressman Joe Garcia, resigned Friday amid an AB fraud investigation and took responsibility for feloniously generating hundreds of ghost absentee […]
With six months left until the Miami city election, the mayoral race is picking up some speed and urgency. There have been fundraisers and multiple TV and radio interviews. This week, three of the four other Miami City Commissioners said they are backing their colleague, Commissioner Francis “The Future” Suarez in his run against incumbent […]
Miami Commissioner Francis “The Future” Suarez posted another video on YouTube Wednesday in his campaign to unseat Mayor Tomas Regalado. Or, rather, re-posted an updated old video. The Suarez camp edited an earlier video about progress and cut out stills of Genting’s planned muti-million dollar casino resort that they wanted to build in downtown Miami. […]
Miami-Dade School Board Member Carlos Curbelo finally came out of the political closet and announced he has a “congressional exploratory committee” and an imposing “finance team” working on his long-rumored run for U.S. Congress in what many state Republicans apparently view as the opportunity seat in 2014. Less than two weeks after Cutler Bay Mayor […]
After authorities get the phone records and after they get sworn statements from the half dozen or so politicians implicated in the absentee ballot fraud committed by Hialeah boletera Deisy Cabrera, maybe someone should ask her attorney Eric Castillo who he really works for. Castillo would not tell Ladra Tuesday who was paying him to […]
