Dean Alex Diaz DLP starts recall of Bovo over AB fraud

That was fast: The recall of Miami-Dade Commissioner Esteban Bovo is on.

AB fraud PI is a hero until proven otherwise

We ought to be giving Joe Carrillo a medal — not a hard time. Carrillo, if you recall, is the P.I. who busted open the Pandora’s Box of absentee ballot fraud in Hialeah when he tailed known boletera Daisy Cabrera — who police already had complaints about from last year — and videotaped her chasing and […]

Too bad Rep. Eddy Gonzalez can’t be recalled

State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez is a very lucky man that his challenger this year is a nobody with a bizarre name who works for a known absentee ballot queen and shady political operative. Otherwise he might not get this last term. It should be taken away from him anyway when he wins. There is no […]

Hialeah AB fraud: Working for Manny Diaz, Jr.?

Lawsuit seeks to remove fake ‘plantidate’ from ballot

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.

Renier DLP fights fire with firetruck in Hialeah

On the first day of early voting at JFK Library in Hialeah, the city administration called on firefighters to remove signs on the fence that belonged to School Board Member and former State Rep.

Illegal candidate cards cut short to meet the law

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 […]
