So, there are 45 days left in the race for the White House and all the little, smaller seats that actually sometimes have a lot more impact on our day to day lives — and resources and services and taxes — than the national election. And while you can expect me to dwell repeatedly through […]
Florida continues to be in the national spotlight for both presidential candidates, but Republican nominee Mitt Romney owns it this week. After his post-Univision forum rally on Wednesday, his son Craig Romney was in Miami Lakes for a meet-and-greet Friday evening and his vice presidential running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan, will greet breakfast diners at […]
George P. Bush and buddies end their MavPAC bus tour in downtown Miami this afternoon, at the Wolfson campus of Miami Dade College. Bush and Jay Zeidman co-founders of the Maverick PAC — which aims to engage young voters and recruit fresh Republican blood — started the tour on Monday, visiting college campuses in Tallahassee, […]
Well, do we all feel better now? I’ll bet some boleteras, at least, are breathing a sigh of relief as county commissioners pat themselves on the back over their successful vote today to provide pre-paid return postage on absentee ballots for countywide elections. And I’m sure some cities will probably follow suit in their fanciful, […]
Man, what I wouldn’t give to be at the Miami-Dade County Commission meeting today when Commissioner Esteban “Stevie el Bobo” Bovo proposes — again — that the way to curb absentee ballot fraud is by having pre-paid postage on the ballots themselves so people can put them in the mail.

Where are the authorities and why is Miami-Dade Commissioner Steve “El bobo boletero” Bovo still a free man? Hey, Senator or State Representative or whatever-we-call-you-now Alex Diaz de la Portilla! Save your PAC money. Bovo doesn’t need to be recalled. He needs to be handcuffed! The latest out of the Hialeah absentee ballot fraud scandal […]
It was no surprise to anyone to learn this week that both Miami-Dade Commission Chairman Joe Martinez and the county’s Property Appraiser Pedro Garcia filed court challenges to the Aug. 14 election that was tainted by absentee ballot fraud that is known and public and investigated. Garcia lost to termed-out State Rep. Carlos Lopez-Cantera solely […]
In the days leading up to the Republican National Convention this week in Tampa, las malas lenguas were saying in Miami that U.S. Congressman King David “Nine Lives” Rivera would not show up to the political powwow after the news last week that he was embroiled in a federal elections commission investigation into whether or […]
Yet another reason why the whole Aug. 14 election should be tossed out and a new one ordered: There are more absentee ballot fraud claims and irregularities in two state house races — one of them a Democratic primary with a new “absentee ballot queen” that puts the moniker right on her business card. Are […]
