What's New with the Hialeah Runoff Election. By Geniusofdespair

There were debates in Spanish this morning.

There is a rumor that a guy is impersonating a firefighter (they have endorsed Raul Martinez), picking up absentee ballots that were requested by voters through the Raul Martinez campaign.  That was done before -- the impersonating -- this happened when Raul was running against Lincoln Diaz Balart in 2008.  State Attorney Centorino did an investigation of this 2008 race.

Hialeah's runoff election is November 15th and early voting starts on the 10th. This must feel like deja vu for Raul since the same Sasha Tirador is working for the Hernandez campaign. Here is what they were doing in 2008 according to authorities I suspect it is no different today:

Campaigns and rumors go together just like Herman Cain and clueless comments.

Seriously I'm not going to defend ST but rumors are that rumors and unless anyone can at least get a description of this firefighter impersonator (maybe trying to impersonate himself into sweeeet salary and pension deal) and or people who he has either attempted oo or actually collected ballots from this is BS.

Not saying AB fraud doesn't happen especially in Hialeah with over 14K cast but as Sargeant Friday would say "just the facts maam"

People of Hialeah, vote your absentee ballots and mail them. Beware of people knocking at your door for your ballot.
Democracy works best with educated voters.

Julio Robaina's friends at work in Hialeah, It is disgusting.

Anyone who reads this blog knows that absentee voter fraud is an epidemic in this community. Martinez has been mixed up in it in the past. I also don't trust those Hialeah firefighters as far as I can kick them. It's a dirty crew.

Not true J.

Raul Martinez was not implicated in the Fraud. It was his opponent. It was Sasha Tirador and David Custin working for his opponent in 2008. Get your facts straight. The Martinez campaign filed a complaint with the State Attorney's office.

Genius Martinez or his campaign have been implicated in AB fraud in the past Remember the LULA Rodriguez fiasco? Not detracting from current shenanigans but Raul is no saint either.
