Hit on images to enlarge them. These ARE NOT THE FINAL NUMBERS. This is 677 precincts out of 829. Close enough. We will have a runoff between Robaina and Gimenez. On election day Carlos Gimenez and Hialeah Julio Robaina are almost even. But little surprise that Julio aced the absentee ballots by a large margin....he has all those nursing homes that farm out absentee ballots.
Oddly the only ballot question that has a chance of winning is the one prohibiting lobbying for two years by elected officials. It is ahead by 50.17% to 49.83%. Could change when the rest of the precincts are counted.

With a low turn-out these are your real citizens. The amazing thing is that 11% would vote for a "shake you booty" candidate. What does that say about the state of affairs here?
Gimenez wins, in a runoff.
How did the anti-lobbying provision only win by 150 votes?
Who are the pro-lobbying voters?!
There are none. People didn't vote for it because it didn't go far enough. That is why most of the charter amendments lost. They were watered down reforms.
Not true - several were right from the Charter review task force.
The 2/3 to allow the task force to put stuff right on the ballot was killed big-time.
The one that would have allowed signature gathering without the sworn affidavit lost in a landslide. Don't tell me that was because it didn't go "far enough." That one died because of two things 1- voters didn't get it because they don't petition their government so don't know the proces 2- Braman and Miami Voice stomped around and whined that it wasn't true reform.
Congratulations to them for making petitioning your government no easier.
