Welcome to the third and final installment of Linda Joseph DEMANDS!

In Part 1 and Part 2, we told you that Linda Joseph has threatened to sue this blogger unless we provide a “full and fair correction, apology, retraction, removal of protected address information, and preservation of evidence,” of the allegedly “false and defamatory” statements this blogger allegedly made.

Linda had issues with ten (10) of our previous blogs, and we have already addressed the first eight (8) by either “correcting” or providing hyperlinks to the full, unadulterated public records (which we had initially done in the original blogs anyway) as evidence to back up the statements we believe require no retraction or correction.

In this Part 3, we will address the final two (2) blogs that bother Linda, as well as her final DEMANDS included in the “Notice of False and Defamatory Publications” she literally had us served with by a Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputy on August 13, 2026.

As an aside, in her letter, Linda Joseph, a/k/a Linda Joseph Noel, claims that she had us served “VIA CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED; EMAIL; AND WEBSITE CONTACT FORM.”

This is OUR OFFICIAL NOTICE that WE NEVER RECEIVED any correspondence by CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED or by EMAIL from Linda Joseph.

As for our WEBSITE CONTACT FORM, a/k/a the “CONTACT US” button, we recently discovered that this link does not work, and we have no way of knowing how long it has been broken.  Our webmaster tried to fix it but was unable to, so it has been disabled and removed from our website.

As an aside, if anyone has tried to reach us through our “CONTACT US” button and not received a response, this is the reason.  Please accept our profound apologies as this was out of our control.

Now that we cleared that up, let’s get down to business.

9. Linda “identified as false and defamatory” statements in the blog, Lyin’ Linda … she’s at it again! (UPDATED 2X), by claiming, “That I lied about my identity, sister, residence, voting history, birthplace, and legal eligibility and was ‘fraudulently running for office.'”

Her “Basis for falsity” is her allegation, “The publication draws categorical conclusions from selected voter and property records while disregarding or disputing my lease, address change, residency evidence, relationship evidence, qualifying file, and explanations. Election participation at an earlier date does not by itself determine later legal residence or candidacy eligibility.”

Linda DEMANDED, “Correct the identity, relationship, residence, birthplace, and candidacy assertions using the complete records; retract the accusation of fraudulent or illegal candidacy absent an official adjudication.”

Our response:

We’re not sure how to get Linda to understand that we posted hyperlinks to the full and complete public records in every blog that we publish.  It’s like talking to a freaking wall.

However, in the spirit of cooperation, we will — once again — address her baseless allegations that we used “selected voter and property records” by — once again — posting the full and complete public records in this blog.

• Here is her publicly obtained Voter Audit Report (HINT: Click here >>>>> Voter Audit Report) proving that Linda Joseph changed her voter registration address from her Biscayne Gardens home to North Miami Beach on August 7, 2025.
• Here is her publicly obtained Voter Registration Receipt (HINT: Click here >>>>> Voter Registration Receipt) showing that she is registered to vote from an a different address in North Miami Beach, Florida 33160, but that her mailing address is still listed as her house in Biscayne Gardens.
• Here is her publicly obtained Voting History Report (HINT: Click here >>>> Voting History Report) proving that Linda Joseph has NEVER voted in any City of North Miami Beach municipal election.

Now that we cleared up that “mystery,” we will address her concerns that we are allegedly “disregarding or disputing my lease, address change, residency evidence, relationship evidence, qualifying file, and explanations. Election participation at an earlier date does not by itself determine later legal residence or candidacy eligibility.”

FOR THE RECORD, we are not, nor have we ever been, in possession of her “lease, address change, residency evidence, relationship evidence, qualifying file, and explanations.”

We never claimed to be in possession of those items.

For some weird reason, Linda also stated, “Election participation at an earlier date does not by itself determine later legal residence or candidacy eligibility.”

OKAYYYY?

Moving right along.

According to her DEMAND, Linda wants us to “Correct the identity, relationship, residence, birthplace, and candidacy assertions using the complete records; retract the accusation of fraudulent or illegal candidacy absent an official adjudication.”

To which we respond:

• We NEVER SAID that Linda Joseph lied about her “identity.”  We have no idea what “identity” she is talking about.
• While we agree that Linda Joseph claims to be the sister of Ada Charles, we can neither confirm nor deny that this is a true and correct fact.
• While we agree that Linda Joseph claims that she resides in North Miami Beach, we can neither confirm nor deny that this is a true and correct fact.
• We have no idea where Linda Joseph was born because, although the Certified Copy of Marriage License (HINT: Click here >>>>> Certified Copy of Marriage License) states she was born in the Bahamas, she has published documents claiming that she’s Haitian-born.  Therefore, we are not in a position to “correct” her “birthplace.”

As for her insistence that we have not provided “the complete records,” we have already provided evidence to the contrary by — once again — posting “the complete records” in our possession via hyperlinks.

Hence the “(HINT: Click here >>>>>)” clues clearly, prominently, and conspicuously displayed above.

Nevertheless, we will now address her 10th and final allegation.

10. Linda “identified as false and defamatory” statements in the blog, Linda Joseph has some thoughts. And so do we.  She wrote, “That my first public statements were ‘pure, unadulterated lies,’ Ada Charles is not my sister, and my residence and birthplace explanations were false.”

Her “Basis for falsity” is her allegation that, “This article confirms actual receipt of my direct denial and unequivocal denunciation of antisemitism. I maintain that the relationship and categorical identity/residency accusations are false and contradicted by complete family, residency, and qualifying records.”

And finally, Linda DEMANDED, “Preserve my full denunciation prominently; correct the family relationship and categorical residency, identity, and dishonesty accusations; and cease repeating claims contradicted by authenticated records.”

Our response:

As we said in Part 1 of this series, “Ironically, this particular blog we posted was not even meant to criticize her, but to respectfully point out that she has been less than truthful and that candidates running for office have a responsibility to be honest and transparent with those whose votes she is seeking.  And yet, that was the blog that set her off on this rampage.”

At the risk of repeating ourselves — once again — we have no choice but to repeat ourselves.

In this blog that Linda Joseph is “identifying” (there’s that word again LOL!) as “false and defamatory,” we took great pains to explain how we know that her “first public statements were pure, unadulterated lies.”

But, as painful as it must be for our readers to be subjected to repetitive statements, we will take on those great pains one more time.

For the team, of course.

As we noted, Linda Joseph’s first public appearance in North Miami Beach was at the May 16, 2023 Commission Meeting when she came up to speak to the podium during public comment.

She immediately claimed that she was “a proud resident of North Miami Beach,” and that she “voted for Michael Joseph.”

We know public records are inconvenient, but according to Linda Joseph’s Voter Audit Report, hyperlinked here and above where it says, “HINT: Click here >>>>> Voter Audit Report,” she did not change her voter registration from her Biscayne Gardens home to a residence in North Miami Beach until one year, three months, and nine days later on August 7, 2025.

Also, according to the public record of Linda Joseph’s Voting History Report, hyperlinked here and above where it says, “HINT: Click here >>>> Voting History Report,” she couldn’t possibly have voted for North Miami Beach because she has never, ever voted in the City of North Miami Beach.

Ever.

Our evidence in the form of official public records will show that the statements made by Linda Joseph on video during the May 16, 2023 City Commission meeting, i.e., that she was “a proud resident of North Miami Beach” and that she “voted for Michael Joseph,” were absolutely not the truth.

Therefore, in response to Linda Joseph’s DEMAND that we “correct” our “dishonesty accusations” regarding her residency and voting record on May 16, 2023, we respectfully decline.

As for her DEMAND that we “correct” our comments about “the family relationship and categorical residency, identity…” we will reiterate — once again — for the record:

• We NEVER SAID that Linda Joseph lied about her “identity.”  We have no idea what “identity” she is talking about.
• While we agree that Linda Joseph claims to be the sister of Ada Charles, we can neither confirm nor deny that this is a true and correct fact.
• While we agree that Linda Joseph claims that she resides in North Miami Beach, we can neither confirm nor deny that this is a true and correct fact.
• We have no idea where Linda Joseph was born since, although the Certified Copy of Marriage License (HINT: Click here >>>>> Certified Copy of Marriage License) states that she was born in the Bahamas, she has published documents claiming that she’s Haitian-born.  Therefore, since there is conflicting information as to where Linda Joseph was actually born, we are simply not in a position to “correct” her “birthplace.”

And lastly, in response Linda’s DEMAND that we “Preserve [her] full denunciation [of antisemitism] prominently,” we will be happy to reprint HER WORDS again in this blog, although we can neither confirm nor deny that she means what she says.

However, we will publish Linda’s personal statement — once again — for the record, as follows:

“Stephanie, I will answer you directly. My name is Linda Joseph, and I unequivocally denounce antisemitism. Hatred against Jewish people has no place in North Miami Beach or anywhere in this world. The same racism and hatred that have harmed my community and generations of my family are things I would never inflict upon another community. The Jewish community is a vital part of North Miami Beach, and every Jewish family in our city has the absolute right to live, worship, and raise their children in freedom, safety, peace, and love—just like every other community.

I agreed with Darializa Avila Chevalier when she defended the Haitian community. Agreeing with someone on one specific issue does not mean I endorse everything that person has ever said, nor does it mean I support every organization with which that person may be associated. I can appreciate someone standing up for the Haitian community while unequivocally rejecting any statement that promotes hatred against Jewish people. I do not support antisemitism, racism, or hatred in any form.

Your insults, derogatory names, and attempts to question where I belong do nothing to help our community, our people, or the healing our city desperately needs. This nasty rhetoric and constant effort to divide communities are things I will never participate in. Until we learn to live together with love, dignity, and mutual respect, none of us can truly move forward.

So please stop. Personal attacks and false accusations will not change the truth. I unequivocally denounce antisemitism. I stand for the safety and dignity of our Jewish community, just as I stand for every community in North Miami Beach. Hate has oppressed people for generations, and I will never support or excuse it against anyone”

And, since this is our website and our blog, we reserve the right to publish our response to her qualifying defense of the Jew-hating Darializa Avila Chevalier,  — once again — for the record, as follows:

“If you don’t condemn bad actors entirely, you stand with them.”

The real irony here is that Linda Joseph had previously accused this blogger of making “false statements” about her, but refused to tell us what those alleged “false statements” were.

In an August 5, 2026 email chain initiated by Linda to this blogger, she (a) falsely accused me of being a “paid blogger,” (b) insinuated that I am a racist (◔_◔), (c) insisted that I had made “false statements” against her, and (d) threatened to sue me.

She specifically stated, “some of the statements you have published about me are categorically false, and I have evidence to support that.”

I immediately wrote back and stated, “If you have evidence to prove that I have made false statements about you, please provide them and, if verifiable, I will be more than happy to publish a correction. I look forward to receiving such evidence.”

As you can see, Linda Joseph is still making blanket accusations of “false statements,” while at the same time still refusing to provide any “evidence to support that.”

We firmly believe that we have wholeheartedly, and repeatedly, addressed all of Linda Joseph’s allegations and demands.  Nevertheless, her Notice to this blogger contained some final “thoughts” and “requests,” as follows:

“Prior Notice, Knowledge, and Fault

I previously disputed statements made about me, communicated that material was false, and attempted to respond through the publication. The August 10 article confirms that VotersOpinion.com received my direct written response and denunciation of antisemitism.

I have previously asked that my residential address and residence-identifying information not be published because I am a survivor of domestic violence and have safety concerns. Any correspondence, apology, deletion, correction, or assurance relating to that request must be preserved.

Continued publication after receipt of contrary records or direct denials, deliberate avoidance of readily available confirming records, reliance on incomplete screenshots or selected docket materials, refusal to publish corrective material, and alteration or deletion after notice may bear on knowledge, reckless disregard, damages, and preservation duties.”

Our response:

We did receive her “direct written response and denunciation of antisemitism,” as above referenced.  However, as we also noted, Linda Joseph refused to directly advise us of the nature of the alleged “previously disputed statements made about me, communicated that material was false, and attempted to respond through the publication.”

We also explained that any “attempt to respond through the publication” (we assume she means via our “CONTACT US” button), was never received due to a problem with that feature of our website.  We have already apologized for that problem, which was not due to the knowledge or the fault of this blogger.

Contrary to Linda Joseph’s claim that she had “previously asked” us not to publish her “residential address and residence-identifying information,” we unequivocally state that we never received any such direct request via email or in writing.  We also reiterate that if Linda Joseph had made such a request through our website’s “CONTACT US” button, due to the technical failure of that website feature, said request never reached this blogger.

On that note, however, and in our defense, Linda Joseph’s “residential address and residence-identifying information” are widely published by several governmental agencies, either directly on their websites or made available by public records requests, or both.

By way of direct example, Linda Joseph’s Campaign Treasurer’s Reports that she herself completed and filed with the North Miami Beach City Clerk in order to run in the 2026 municipal election, contain her “residential address” and are easily accessible by the general public.  If she wants her “residential address” redacted, she needs to make that request with the City Clerk’s Office.

Now, we have no idea whether or not Linda Joseph has filed a signed and notarized Public Records Exemption Request Form with the Florida Department of State.  Even if she has, it is still HER responsibility to instruct all governmental agencies that have access to her records to redact her personal information.  It is not the responsibility of any member of the general public who has accessed those records either by directly visiting those agencies’ websites or by making a public records request.

We are merely providing this information and a public service in case Linda Joseph did not know this.

That being said, if Linda Joseph had contacted us by email, which address she has known since at least June 26, 2026 when we first corresponded, to request a redaction of her personal information on any document of which we were in possession, we would have done so as a professional courtesy.

This offer is, of course, open to Linda and any other public official or private citizen.  All they have to do is ask.

In her Notice to this blogger, Linda Joseph made some final requests, as follows:

“Requested Full and Fair Correction, Apology, and Retraction

1. 1. Remove or correct each challenged factual statement and headline identified above.
   2. Publish a full and fair correction, apology, and retraction in a location and format at least as conspicuous as the original publication, with links from the original URLs.
   3. State that no identified criminal charge or conviction established felony impersonation, theft, grand theft, or other criminality by me arising from the described conduct.
   4. State that I unequivocally denounce antisemitism and Hamas and retract claims that I hate Jewish people or support Hamas.
   5. Correct the categorical assertions regarding my relationship to Ada Charles, birthplace, employment history, residence, and candidacy eligibility after reviewing the authenticated records.
   6. Remove protected residential-address information, unit numbers, maps, photographs, vehicle information, and descriptions facilitating identification of my residence, and do not republish those details.
   7. Disable comments that repeat actionable factual accusations after notice, or publish the correction alongside them.
   8. Provide written confirmation identifying each correction, retraction, removal, and URL affected.”

Our response:

1. 1. We have retracted all statements that are provably incorrect.
   2. All three of the blogs in this series published full and fair corrections, apologies, and retractions, where necessary, and obviously in a location and format even more conspicuous than the original columns she had a problem with.
   3. We already stated that Linda Joseph has never been charged or convicted with any crime.
   4. We already republished Linda Joseph’s stated denouncement of “antisemitism and Hamas,” and that she claims to deny hating Jewish people or supporting Hamas.
   5. As we’ve already stated above, we are not in a position to “correct” any of Linda’s “categorical assertions” with respect to Linda’s “relationship to Ada Charles, birthplace, employment history, and candidacy eligibility” since we are not and have never been in possession of the “authenticated records” that she claims we did or should have reviewed.
   6. We have never published any “protected residential-address information, unit numbers, maps, photographs, vehicle information, and descriptions facilitating identification” of Linda Joseph’s residence.  However, as we already mentioned, we are always willing to retract personal information upon request.  Please provide the title of the blog and specific location of the information or document to be retracted, and we do so immediately.
   7. Comments from readers are protected by their First Amendment rights.  That being said, however, if Linda Joseph would like to provide us with copies of comments that she finds particularly objectionable, we are willing to consider deleting them as a public service.
   8. Linda Joseph’s “written confirmation” is exhibited by the publication of this blog, as well as the previous two blogs.

One final commentary is in order here.

In her Notice to us, for some unknown reason Linda Joseph thought it was a good idea to mention three lawsuits in which this blogger was either a plaintiff or a defendant, as well as a “prominent correction” we voluntarily issued in response to a letter from a former city employee’s attorneys.

What Linda Joseph failed to mention is that one of those lawsuits was amicably settled, one was dismissed by the judge since the plaintiff’s complaint against me was completely without merit, and the third was dismissed when VotersOpinion’s former hosting company had to concede that we did NOT violate any Terms of Service and restored our account.

As for the fourth matter, we did not receive any further correspondence from that employee’s lawyers, so we necessarily assume our publicly issued “prominent correction” was acceptable.

Linda also closed her letter with the obligatory, and patently false, accusation of “racism” by writing “I have received reports of a recurring pattern of coverage directed at people of color, particularly women of color who seek or hold local public office. I am preserving this as a reported pattern and investigation issue.”

Why don’t we ask Joe Geller and the other 30+ “White People” (even though we literally have a color and are not actually “white,” but whatever) who have been in the proverbial bull’s eye of VotersOpinion over the years.

If Linda had lived in North Miami Beach longer than a year and fifteen days she’d know all about them.  But if falsely accusing this blogger of “racism” helps her to sleep at night, who are we to object?

Besides, Linda Joseph’s opinion of me is none of my business.

In response to Linda Joseph’s false allegations that we have relied on “incomplete screenshots,” we have painstakingly — once again — provided hyperlinks to the actual documents obtained online from government agency websites and/or by public records requests.

In response to her odd allegation that we have relied on “selected docket materials,” please note that we have obtained copies of all documents filed in each and every lawsuit that we wrote about.  We have provided hyperlinks to all essential documents when we reported on the subject lawsuit, and leave out the extraneous ones, such as Notices of Hearings and the like.

In any event, we have gone to great lengths in these three columns to address Linda Joseph’s allegations and DEMANDS, and we firmly believe that we have provided more than enough evidence, information and documentation, as well as corrections and/or retractions, where necessary.

We certainly hope that Linda Joseph is satisfied that we have responded to all her issues and will finally put this matter to bed.

If after all this, she is still not happy, it will only prove that her real intent is to try to bully us and shut down any criticism of her.

We certainly hope that’s not the case.

Stephanie
