Florida ballot f*****-up again,

[elleng]

this time w 6+ pages of referenda to read. (Rachel show) Think we can wait???

[malaise]

1. Miami Dade is ten pages

In most countries on the planet these criminals would be locked up

[nc4bo]

3. Absolutely disgusting.

There should be a Democratic cheat sheet printed up in large numbers and passed out in the lines.

Should help with the questions at the end.

2. And they're cutting 14 early voting days (2008) down to 8 days!!! That's because it was Dems who

predominantly voted early in '08!

[elleng]

4. Right, gate; neglected to mention that.

[porphyrian]

5. If Obama wins the other swing states, Florida may not matter. n/t

[elleng]

6. Right but so many are playing so many games w ballots etc, scared.

[Cha]

7. KICK for Every State Counts!

[B Calm]

8. 8 days to early vote. I encourage

everyone who lives in Florida to vote early!

9. Well, if we lose, because they cheat again, where's the surprise?

I am not sure what it takes to block them, but we aren't doing it. We are spending a lot of money and time campaigning when it will not matter. I am not sure I can take another Ohio loss either. What would it take to legislate a practical way to count paper ballots by mail, instead of letting this happen again and again. They're ready to take this election. Part of me is hoping against hope that Obama is ready for them, but, I am, frankly, dubious.

10. You guys realize

that by playing up the size of the ballot you're doing exactly what the GOP wants....discourage voters from voting? You're falling into their trap with this narrative.

11. Wouldn't it be better that people know to be prepared?

Let's not run out of ballots, be prepared to re-elect President Barack Obama, don't let the racist white slavemasters take away your right to vote, take food, water whatever, go with friends so you can take breaks and not lose your place in line, etc.

Most importantly, vote as early as you can, etc.

I'd want to know.

12. I'd say just the opposite. If people know someone's making it harder to vote, they're gonna be

pissed off and more determined to wait in line just to be contrary -- and knowing that lines could be slow-moving will make it less likely that they'll assume they can try again later and find a shorter line.

13. So, how fucked up can they make it before the Justice Department gets in the mix? n/t

14. THIS ^^^^! nm
