It’s understandable. People want to vent. To say that not everybody is happy or even okay with the presidential election Tuesday would be so much more than the understatement of the year. Everybody is so not okay. Thousands of people from Portland to New York City marched to protest the election results, chanting “Fuck Donald […]
North Miami Beach voters approved term limits and made several important changes to their charter Tuesday that will simplify and streamline the way the city operates. They approved the updating of language and removal of obsolete code and changed the council’s ability — or, rather, the commission’s ability, because voters changed the name of the […]
She may have been beaten, yet again, in the Democratic primary for the 26th Congressional district by the candidate who lost anyway to U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo Tuesday. But Annette Taddeo will not go gently into the good night. She is raging against, not a dying light, but the Republican darkness. Taddeo is still vice […]
Both the Florida Democratic Party and the Republican Party of Florida will claim victories in Tuesday’s election after several state seats switched colors. In the 305, we had four seats flip — two in the House and two in the Senate. Both House seats were open (one due to term limits and one due to […]
Most of us have been preoccupied — perhaps obsessed is a better word — with the presidential or the Miami-Dade mayoral election. But there were a lot of other races that culminated with Tuesday’s vote. Here are some highlights: Sen. Marco Rubio beat Congressman Patrick Murphy back to gain another six years in office. He […]
If you, like Ladra, love elections and like to follow campaigns like sports teams, then there is good news from Tuesday’s election results: Two exciting local runoffs.

When we went to sleep last night, it really looked like there was going to be President Donald Trump today. Shiver. But that’s not the only bad news. We also have a new state senator in sucker-punching homophobe bear hunter Frank Artiles. Sigh. U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, a lobbyist with a secret client list and a […]
It may be a contentious election year with many close races as the Democratic Party tries to snatch up some red seats and Republicans try to hold on and/or turn a few of their own. But that doesn’t mean they can’t still get along, right? A bi-partisan group of electeds in three contested races got […]
The Latin Builders Association sent out an email blast last last week, right before early voting started, with their endorsements for the Nov. 8 election. But there was one glaring omission: Hillary Clinton wasn’t on it. That’s odd. The LBA had endorsed Clinton earlier this month, and it was big news, too, because it is the first […]
I’m not scared of what might happen if Donald Trump loses. We woke up Thursday morning to a new climate of fear among political observers and junkies after the Republican presidential candidate hinted during the last debate Wednesday that, should he lose, he may not accept the election results. For days now, and less than […]
