Miami Herald 
<http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/08/22/3580232/prosecutors-charge-2-campaign.html>: 
"Miami-Dade prosecutors on Thursday charged two political operatives for 
Miami mayoral candidate Francis Suarez --- including his campaign 
manager --- with unlawfully submitting absentee-ballot requests online 
on behalf of voters....Francis Suarez, a sitting city commissioner and 
lawyer, was cleared of any wrongdoing during the investigation, 
according to the Miami-Dade state attorney's office. His only 
involvement was advising his campaign to seek legal advice to make sure 
any online requests did not run afoul of the law."
