NEW: 103 people who live in the twin Haley Sofge Towers changed their party affiliations during a 3-month period last year, adding to questions about whether some residents’ party affiliation was changed without their consent, @MiamiHerald analysis shows.
miamiherald.com/news/politics-… @MiamiHerald w/ @AnaChacinc, our analysis shows all 103 of those voters in this building switched to the GOP. (There are 475 units in the complex). In other clustered areas in Miami-Dade with a large percentage of party-switching, the rate at which voters switched to Republican is 90%.

Latest in voter affiliation changes: @Annette_Taddeo says she got a call from woman in Hillsborough who worked with “firm,” alleges she was given quotas to register voters as Republicans, and given bonuses for switching voters. Says she is getting calls from beyond Miami-Dade. Taddeo claims the caller said this is a “statewide effort” to influence media narrative of Republicans beating Democrats in voter registrations in Florida. (FWIW, RPOF has said they are following all state laws in registration efforts).

Now that calls for the resignation of Secretary of Public Safety in PR Hector Pesquera are growing on the island amid heinous shootings on frequently-transited areas, I would like to go back & remember some of his comments after Hurricane Maria, bc the Internet does not forget: This with the assistance of @latinorebels and journalists of @cpipr who had the foresight of compiling it in a story. On Oct. 30, 2017, he said in an interview that anyone questioning the methods to count Maria's dead was employing "Oliver Stone theories." latinorebels.com/2017/11/21/pue…
