Miami Republican Candidate's Campaign Workers May Have Tampered With Absentee Ballots
An explosive, 150-page WhatsApp chat leaked to Miami New Times appears to show members of Miami-Dade County Commission District 5 candidate Alex Diaz de la Portilla's 2018 campaign team discussing destroying or stealing absentee ballots from voters who selected one of Diaz de la Portilla's opponents, Zoraida Barreiro.
In one message, a campaign worker posted an image of a ballot and joked that it had been stolen. In another text, someone took a photo of a ballot and wrote "Byebye." In a third message, someone instructed a campaign worker to "tear up the ballot good."
Diaz de la Portilla did not initially respond to messages from New Times this afternoon, including two on his personal cellphone. He is currently running for City of Miami Commission.
