Commissioner Rebeca Sosa thanks Eye on Miami for shining a light on absentee ballot voter fraud at the Public Hearing on November 19th. The Ordinance adding a penalty to collecting absentee ballots illegally is in the final phase but since it has 10 sponsors out of 13, it is a sure thing. Commissioner Sosa said she will go to Tallahassee herself to urge the legislature to make the penalty of violating county voter law a felony...the County Commission can only impose a misdemeanor. Here is a video of Sosa thanking Eye on Miami, watch it, you won't see our name mentioned positively very often! It is early in the video so you don't have to watch it for long. Again, there will be a quiz.
This second video is of Shawn Selleck who ran against Willie Gort for the City of Miami Commission. During public testimony, he relates some of his experience with Absentee Ballot Fraud that he experienced as a candidate. On election day Willie got twice the votes as Shawn. In early voting they were 5 votes apart. But in absentee voting Gort slaughtered Shawn. Gort had 1,611 absentees and Sean 617. I guess Selleck didn't play the absentee ballot game.

NICE job Genius. Now let's get cracking!
He lost election day 2 to 1? Whats the issue yes he may have lost ABS by a higher percentage but not one that points to anything more than a good GOTV operation and more favorable demographics.
That doesn't mean there aren't other elections where ABS out do Election day by a signigficant amount like Carlos Curbelo who lost election day but carried the election on ABs same goes for David Rivera.
And there are instances when public funds are used like Marc sarnoff and the DDA, thats a NO NO.
Anyway keep up the good work, and good luck to Rebecca she'll need lots of it to get anything done in Tallahassee
Selleck was offered absentee ballots for money...
Is anon above making excuses for Gort? The fact that they were almost equal going in befose the ABs and then he got clobbered tells me that AB fraud raised its ugly head in that election.
Lynda Bell co-author? How did her constant consultant JLC feel about that? Seems that she took away his main election job! WOW!!!!
Wonders neer cease! No more AB fraud! How will he and his wife survive?
$1,000 per instance or just $1,000 if you get caught? If it is the latter, then these costs will just be funded through campaign.
Nice job Genius.
You have to start somewhere, we need someone with more clout and money to take it to the next level
