As Ladra sniffs over the details in the absentee ballot fraud investigation going on in and around Hialeah right now, it occurs to me that the AB machinery used by the longtime political powers of the City of Progress was put to use for a newby state house candidate who is the hand-picked puppet of […]
Can I get a Hallelujah? More arrests are coming, as everybody knows by now through the Miami Herald’s dogged investigation, from the absentee ballot fraud investigation in Hialeah. Some say it’s going to be Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban Bovo‘s secretary — who resigned right after boletera Daisy Cabrera was arrested for chasing ballots. This is apparently […]
Hialeah looked a little like Arizona Wednesday at JFK library early voting site when city police officers — known to be at the beck and call of an abusive administration — began to ask poll workers for identification. They arrived mid afternoon in five cars and started to talk to the different campaign workers. What […]
Earlier this week, we reported that there was illegal comingling of campaign promotions between candidates for state house and county court. Ladra was told Tuesday morning that the palm cards with a slate of state house and county judicial candidates — a no-no according to judicial canon and election law — was an honest mistake. […]
The lawsuit against Sasha Tirador and the employee she is paying to run against a political enemy — now why didn’t I think of that — is getting more serious with a request before a judge now to remove a candidate from the ballot.

Voters who went to JFK Library in Hialeah Monday for early voting may have gotten a palm card that was shorter than it was over the weekend. That’s because two of the candidates were cut from the bottom up. “We got tired of them,” said State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez when Ladra asked why the two […]
The first weekend of early voting may have seemed incredibly slow to those under the hot sun who had to hold it in, but the trickling of voters Saturday and Sunday added up to nearly 6,500 votes cast in Miami Dade — not bad if you consider it’s already in two days more than 10 […]
Ladra woke up late and apparently already missed some Election Day antics in Hialeah. A little birdie told me that Hialeah Mayor Carlos “Castro” Hernandez has already started harassing the campaign volunteers and workers for School Board Member Renier Diaz de la Portilla, who is running for a state house seat in 103 against school […]
Early voting starts today. Do you know where your candidates are? The fat ballot means that there will likely be a slew of local and state candidates with teams of sign wavers at the busiest of the polling places. In Miami-Dade, there are the big three that outperform the rest time and time again. The […]
