I am not referring to these incidents you cite. Nor am I accusing Reps of anything. I don't know exactly who was involved, other than police. Perhaps you should try to become a little more informed as to the politics of the Dems. But questions are now circulating about some of those voters being unfairly and illegally influenced — even intimidated — by Democratic campaign workers in certain precincts of Miami's Little Haiti. A near-perfect turnout in a heavily Democratic district helped sweep the state's first Haitian-American state legislator, a well-known activist and attorney, into office with more than 80 percent of the vote. The Republican candidate, a political novice, is crying foul, saying his opponent's supporters prodded some voters into voting a straight Democratic ticket. More than 100,000 Haitians live in Miami-Dade County, many of them in Little Haiti. Most are new to America, new to democracy and are unfamiliar with the U.S. election process. That leaves them vulnerable to intimidation, say campaign workers and a prominent Haitian minister. "I believe there should be an investigation into the Haitian vote," said Rev. Phipps St. Hilaire of Christian Churches United. "There were a lot of calls here from people who said there were people who intimidated them." Message 14790688
