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 […]
The ugly war that Absentee Ballot Queen Sasha Tirador started to wage against State Rep. Eddy Gonzalez (R-102) has so far been relegated to the streets and airwaves. But now it is headed to court. Gonzalez has sued Tirador — who is characterized as an “odious” and uncivilized political consultant in the complaint — for […]
The private investigator who finally bust open Pandora’s Box of absentee ballots in Hialeah was questioned at the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office Monday afternoon — and came out with a much better attitude than the one he had going in. Joe Carillo took an awful long time upstairs with investigators and/or prosecutors – ‘specially for […]
Private detective Joe Carillo is headed to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office this afternoon so they can question him about his investigation of the two women collecting absentee ballots in Hialeah, who were later detained and stopped by police.

Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez has repeatedly said he doesn’t know the boletera caught red-handed collecting AB ballots in Hialeah this week. But here is our Golden Boy mayor posing for photographs with Daisy Cabrera at the opening of his campaign office on West 68th Street on July 15. She is the second from left standing […]
Well, it looks like Daisy Cabrera, the Hialeah boletera caught red-handed Wednesday by Miami-Dade public corruption detectives collecting 19 ballots in the City of Progress, is not coming out of her apartment just yet. Her attorney, Eric Castillo, spent practically the whole morning there and slipped out with another woman, who everyone thought was Cabrera […]
Daisy Cabrera, the Hialeah boletera caught red-handed Wednesday with 19 ballots in her possession, not 12 as I first reported here, met with her Coral Gables attorney, Eric Castillo, Thursday morning at her apartment on West 41st Street in Hialeah. Some reporters who got there before Ladra reported that she had left with him but […]
Miami-Dade Police have detained and questioned two women in connection with the county mayoral race — caught with a dozen or so absentee ballots in their possession. Ladra is still getting details, which are very slow coming out of the Miami-Dade Public Corruption unit. But according to several sources, the two women were questioned after […]
