1/ 🗳️ Disinformation is everywhere, not just on Facebook.

Up until Election Day, we're tracking and digging into who's bankrolling political mailers, paid social ads and sponsored content bombarding South Florida voters.

But first, we need your help.

miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
2/ Did you come across a campaign mailer or ad? Whatever you see, we want to analyze it.

You can flag ads and help build our Election Ad Decoder database by filling out the form below and uploading screenshots, screen recordings or PDFs.

miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
3/ Our reporters will dig into who’s bankrolling the political ad, look at the cost, and decode whether it contains false or misleading information about the election.

We’ll then add it to our searchable database, so others who see a similar ad can easily confirm its accuracy.
4/ We'll also:
• Flag ads with debunked conspiracies, doctored visuals or hate speech
• Show where your money will go if an ad asks for donations
• Tell you whether info on where and how to vote is accurate

What we *won’t* do:
• Fact check a politician's subjective claims
5/ Also: We want ads in *any* language!

Here’s a thread from @elnuevoherald in Spanish, in case you want to share with a friend. 👇

@elnuevoherald 6/ We’re down to text, too.

📲 If you see an ad we should know about, send it to our team at (305) 735-1915.

We’ll then keep you looped in with periodic SMS updates on the Election Ad Decoder project and our reporting.

miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
@elnuevoherald 7/ Have any questions, or want to talk to a reporter? Feel free to shoot us an email at ElectionAdDecoder@miamiherald.com, and we’ll be in touch soon.

We’ll send you updates once the project launches and any subsequent reporting ahead of Election Day.

miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
@elnuevoherald 8/ Don’t forget to share this link with a friend!

And knowing your family group chat, you might want to drop a link there, too — it’ll probably come in handy. 😬

miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
@elnuevoherald 9/ 🚨 The Election Ad Decoder will launch as a (free!) searchable database built in part by readers like you.

That’s because we value providing accountability and service journalism to South Florida, but we can’t do it alone.

SPECIAL REPORT: Gov. DeSantis has declared Florida the place where “woke goes to die,” ordering state universities to list their diversity initiatives.

But just what kind of ‘indoctrination’ is he saving us from? Field trips to encourage girls’ interest in science, for one. 🧵 A group of students from Academy Prep Center of Lakeland pos
Or Charlie Mitchell’s theater appreciation class.

He couldn’t believe it when a reporter from UF’s student newspaper called and told him that his class was on DeSantis’ blacklist of diversity initiatives at universities. miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…
He was just a guy who had spent 12 years teaching in the theater department, he said, and suddenly it felt like he had a “target” on his back.

Twelve handsome new townhouses line a Coconut Grove block. Lushly landscaped, outfitted with high-end appliances and spacious closets, they’re in move-in condition.

But instead of “For Sale” signs, house hunters see “No Trespassing” notices posted along the street. 🧵 Image
The townhouses, originally priced from $1.2 to $1.8M, are under contract to buyers who put down as much as $500K as far back as 2018. They were told by the developer the homes would be ready in six months — at the latest.

They’ve been waiting ever since. miamiherald.com/news/local/com…
Their plans have been perpetually postponed by the self-proclaimed “King of Coconut Grove” Doug Cox, owner of Drive Development, who has failed to deliver.

His projected closing dates teased buyers as the houses beckoned.
But their dreams of a dream home have gone bust. Image

The man known as the most corrupt agent in U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration history — José Irizarry — says he’s not going to take the fall alone. 🧵
He's accusing some long-trusted DEA colleagues of joining him in skimming millions of dollars from drug money laundering stings to fund a decade’s worth of luxury overseas travel, fine dining, top seats at sporting events and frat house-style debauchery. miamiherald.com/news/local/cri…
“We had free access to do whatever we wanted,” the 48-year-old Irizarry told the @AP in a series of interviews before beginning a 12-year federal prison sentence. “We would generate money pick-ups in places we wanted to go. And once we got there it was about drinking and girls.”

1/ When Marco Rubio tweeted that a GOP canvasser was brutally attacked in Hialeah last month over his politics, the fight became national news.

We’ve obtained videos leading up to the beating — and they raise more questions about whether that’s true.

miamiherald.com/news/local/cri…
2/ On Sunday, Oct. 23, Republican Party canvasser Christopher Monzon, 27, was brutally beaten by two men on the street where he was knocking on doors and passing out fliers in East Hialeah.

To recap what’s happened since, here’s a timeline of events:

miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
3/ The initial police report — released after Rubio’s tweet on Monday, Oct. 24 — did not mention anything about the attack being politically motivated.

That changed when a subsequent report, based on a subsequent interview with the victim, comported with what Rubio had tweeted.

Many of those arrested in DeSantis’ push against voter fraud said they thought they could vote because the state had issued them voter ID cards. That’s key: To break the law their actions had to be “willful.”

So Florida quietly made a tweak that may boost prosecutions later 🧵
A week after those arrests, the DeSantis administration made a change: Floridians on probation are now required to sign an updated form placing the burden on them to determine whether they’re eligible to vote. miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
Beneath warnings about remaining drug-free and reporting to their probation officer is the new message:
