A Hialeah boletera at the center of a weeklong absentee-ballot investigation that muddied the Miami-Dade mayors race was arrested Thursday after police say she fraudulently obtained an absentee ballot from a terminally ill woman in a nursing home.
Deisy Penton de Cabrera, 56, was charged with absentee-ballot fraud, a third-degree felony, and two misdemeanor counts of violating a county ordinance that makes it illegal for anyone to possess more than two ballots belonging to other voters. Investigators say Cabrera illegally collected at least 31 absentee ballots for the Aug. 14 primary election.

Not sure why I have to hunt up a Spanish to English translation program to find the definition of a word “boletera” in an article in a newspaper in the United States of America, but I guess that’s how low we’ve sunk.
Boletera = ticket taker.
At least I’ve increased my vocabulary.
Boletera????? They have a Spanish word for VOTE FRAUD WOMAN??? OMG!!!
I was just as mystified by this story as you were. What the hell are they driving at. Tough on us being thrust against our wills into citizenship in the hemisphere's newest Latin-American country.
