You've got... Wait a minute.

Only one city of Miami commissioner.

The other ones are... I'm sorry.

I was the sheriff.

But that certainly doesn't sound like the mayor's closest political ally, City Commissioner Humberto Hernandez.

Yes.

Boy, Hanky Panky in the big house, that is an old man.

So what you just heard there was intercutting between the 2025 Miami mayoral debate and a 1998 Steve Croft 60 Minutes, a classic piece called Welcome to Miami, which is just brilliant.

If you could find it online, Carl Hyasson is in it.

It's just it's a classic.

And it's so many of the last names that we still recognize and regrettably talk about today.

But what happened – and I could go on about Humberto Hernandez, but I'm going to put a pin in that for the moment because he's still a character that's around in the city of Miami somehow after all of his legal travails.

But what happened in 1997 is Xavier Suarez won an election for mayor against Joe Carollo.

And then in 1998 –

A judge found rampant absentee ballot fraud, found that not only did felons vote and signatures of witness ballots were perhaps forged, but found that dead people voted in that election.

And they were super voters.

These were people who died and voted in every election since their death here in Miami.

And so a lot of the mythology and the demagoguery about election fraud that Donald Trump talks about, for example, is

is born out of the 97 Miami mayoral election.

And in 1998, the courts null and voided all of those absentee ballots.
