Would Be Candidate Trying To Stop The Race In District 7. By Geniusofdespair

There is press conference Friday to discuss the lawsuit and the elections department decision to deny Ricardo Coronaʼs candidacy for the District 7 Commission race.

He filed to run in the Miami-Dade Commission race for District 7 but was told he was too late to qualify – even though his documents were stamped two minutes before the bell. He has sued to stop the race in that district and reschedule it with his name added on the ballot. The Miami-Dade County attorneyʼs office filed a motion Wednesday to move this case to Federal Court.

A Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge said he had serious questions and doubts about lack of proper notice with a 29-hour qualification period, and Corona has sued on the grounds that there was not proper notice given for the election. But the county attorneyʼs office has 20 days to respond, so legally they could allow the vote to take place, which makes it moot.

I am always suspicious of these folks who cry foul and somehow come up with significant money to file and prosecute suits over filing issues. Whose agenda is this guy trying to promote. We now know whose agenda was being promoted over the non issue regarding Flinns resign to run timing.
