Miami commissioner Humberto Hernandez, already under federal money laundering scrutiny, was arrested on state charges for hampering a probe into November election vote fraud. He posted a 40,000 bond, was released, and has a history including a prior arrest and a recall. Prosecutors allege a scheme involving a police officer and a city hall secretary to manipulate district residency documents and absentee ballots.
