We shouldn't let Florida vote anymore.

That's right I said it and I mean it. We should take all voting rights away from the people of Florida.

I don't get it, it should be an easy process, but no, not with Florida.

Just when we had thought that we had gotten away from the hanging chads.

Just when we thought we had seen it all with people being turned away because they may or may not have once been a criminal.

Just when we had thought Florida had cleaned up their election crap I just have to say

"OH COME ON"

What is wrong with this State? What is wrong with the people who live there? Do they get too much sun? Do they have sea salt on the brain? Or are they just idiots?
Oh I don't like to be this way but come on.
Here is what happened today.

1.In Delray Beach, voting was delayed about an hour and a half at a precinct after a poll worker turned off electronic machines, which deprogrammed them.

2.Some Democratic voters was turned away at an Orange County precinct near Orlando after being told there was no Democratic primary today.

3.Some precincts in Broward County had higher turnout than expected and didn't have enough pollsters to run the polls.

4.Some Democratic voters were given independent slips because pollsters and voters didn't realize the mistake.

5. Daytona Beach City Island had voting numbers were off so pollsters had to re-insert the ballots to find the missing numbers.

6. How many absentee ballots we filled back in December? How do you get to vote a month before the election day, do you really know everything about a person to vote that early.

The process should be easy. 1.Go to the polling place, 2.Get a ballot, 3.Vote. How hard can it be.

We are in the mess we are today because people in Florida can't vote. Do we need to buy them a guidebook so they can vote? Maybe we can buy a whole bunch of "Voting for Dummies," books so that the dummies in Florida can finally get it right.

I totally agree! I do have to say though that I miss it when it was just a ballot and a pencil and you circled it in. Someone like myself...I can figure out all these alleged improvements...but there's alot of people that have problems with it.
