Elderly residents of Little Havana in Miami report that they had their party affiliations switched without their knowledge.

The mayor of Miami-Dade County has requested that prosecutors look into allegations that elderly residents of the Little Havana neighborhood in Miami had their party affiliations switched without their knowledge.

Democratic Mayor Daniella Levine Cava sent an official request late Friday to the local State Attorney to investigate reports that elderly residents of a public housing complex in the heavily-Cuban neighborhood had their party affiliation switched from Democrat to Republican without their knowledge.

Levine Cava did not specify how many voters had complained. Other Florida Democratic leaders also have asked for an investigation.

Republican Party of Florida Executive Director Helen Aguirre Ferré told the Miami Herald that the party follows “all applicable” laws and rules as it works to register new Republican voters.

“The Republican Party of Florida is working to register new voters and conducts its voter registration operations in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations,” she said in a statement. “Our program has been successful and that includes reviewing any report of concern with its program.”

    When Tom calls you partisan, it means you aren’t part of his cult.
    When Tom calls the mayor “hateful” it’s because he is so enmeshed in his party affiliation he thinks it’s OK to hoodwink seniors.
    Although this is alleged to have happened in Little Havana, Tom is ignorant of the infamous vote gatherings in nearby Hialeah. Like the Dems with Acorn abuses a while back, it’s criminal, but he wants it swept under the rug just like the Jan 6 assault on our Capitol and those who were protecting it.
    Maybe when our governor’s new election police force gets through rooting out all those Villagers who vote twice, it can help down in Dade.

      Liar Joe, Your cult consists of Manchurians and soros backed district attorneys, who allow criminals to be free and innocent victims to suffer. Cava is pathetic partisan hack on behalf of tarantula.

    The GOP response sounds suspiciously like an admission.
