Get your sorry ass out there and vote. all politics are local and the local races are non-partisan -- like the Mayor's race. Non-partisan races are decided by the end of today. The absentee and early voting numbers will be released after 7. Come back and I will post the sure winners. If a person gets a lot of absentees they most probably will go on to win. Final results are after 10 usually.
I know you THINK you have a mayor if you live in a City or Town but you actually have 2 mayors. One is a County Mayor. You pay plenty of County Taxes so vote.
I suggest you vote for Raquel Regalado. I know you have gotten a load of negative mailers on her that just happen to also be very dismissive of her as a woman: Calling her "Raquelita" in a negative mailer irks me to no end. Carlos Gimenez had plenty of money to throw against Raquel to see what stuck...he even threw Donald Trump at her: 'Her demeanor is like his'. That one was very funny. Anyway, I would vote for Raquel to stop the parade of lobbyists and high salaries to staff hired to do Gimenez's strong mayor job for him.
If you don't vote we will have 4 more years and worse, Gimenez will have Joe Martinez to bully us with, the two pronged horror. Joe is a shoe in for County Commissioner. EVEN the Miami Herald couldn't endorse him and they love known candidates. 8 Years of Martinez will be brutal but with Gimenez too, it will be unbearable.
The judge races are also decided today. So is solar Amendment 4, (vote yes). Most of the rest is a primary on State races for Democrats and Republicans. In my opinion, you are foolish if you are an Independent. Change your status often is my mantra. Mix it up so you they don't know what you are.
INDEPENDENTS: YOU MUST VOTE FOR THE MAYOR TODAY. You are not locked out of the Judges and Mayoral race. If either candidate gets less than 50% of the vote there will be a runoff for Mayor. Vote for the one you got the most mailers against: Raquel Regalado.
Will see you back here later!

| NOPE! Don't vote for him. Gimenez and Lynda Bell made our lives miserable for 4 years. He always picks one county commissioner to do his dirty work. |

People need to vote, with only about 20% of registered voters voting, it allows too many bad politicians to win. Elections have a large impact on our quality of life. Get informed and vote.
I voted today at 7:25am.....Voted for Gimenez and Moss
I travel frequently, so chances are I am away from my voting precinct when time comes, so I elect the mail-in ballot; however if it arrives when I am away and I have a mail forward or hold in place, they never forward the ballot and I assume it is returned. I can't believe in this electronic age there isn't a reliable way for travel people like me to vote. (and that is the case for this election) God knows where my ballot is right now.

Our entire family voted as usual. Seven votes for Raquel Regalado. For the course of three months I have spoken to every neighbor, friend and business associate and I have informed them about the misdeeds committed by Mayor Gimenez. From hiring a campaign manager that utilized unscrupulous boleteras to defraud our election system, to destroying county government by hiring friends to replace professionals, to the sackings of our tax dollars in giveaway contracts to lobbyists, to giving away our public places, to politicking for professional teams and the gambling industry, this mayor has done it all. Regalado may not win but it won't be because I was misinformed or I neglected my civic duties. Get out and vote for our future.
ya, thanks on the advice regarding mail-in ballot- I checked and it was returned by the PO "undeliverable" (I have been travelling and am still away) so I don't get to vote- AGAIN. There should be an electronic way to vote and there must be 100s of thousands of others like me.
My family, my friends, and the majority of my county colleagues wish to thank Raquel Regalado for her courage and stamina and sheer commitment to our county. It takes so much time and effort to repeat your message, it saps every bit of energy and requires such a thick skin to withstand the constant attacks.
Carlos Gimenez has proven to be a fraud. He is not a steward of our taxes, but a user of our monies for himself and his friends.
We need to vote for a new future. Vote for Raquel Regalado.
