Voters denied and deterred in South Miami race?

The elections for the City of South Miami's new administration is becoming...well, a mess. It's filled with alleged racially charged comments from a Commission hopeful, and even protest of Commission meetings by officials. NOW reports that voters have been turned away from the polls, or sent letters that they are not eligible to vote in the race are coming out. The Miami Herald's Sunday edition reported that some South Miami residents had received mailings that they were ineligible to vote in the election, even though they had been PAYING TAXES to the City for years. Others, according to the story, had been turned away from polls or had to argue with poll workers about their eligibility. Check out the full report HERE.

We know what's next right? Investigations...they are on the way. That's how it's been going down in Dade for a while now, no tides of change yet!
