Voting in Florida today

[DonCoquixote]

There is something to be said about voting on Halloween, especially this year. We had a few Creepy things, namely this guy who got up in farmer overalls and kept having a Romney sign. However, today, there was the local Dem candidiate for state senate.

Lines were long; the tournout for early voting was HUGE, with lines going all the way to the highway curb. You could sense that this election was NOT one that was going to be sat out by anyone.

Thankfully, we do have PAPER ballots, in addition to digital. We use a scantron form, but anyone can read who the bloody dark spot is next to. Of course, it was a huge ballot,with tons of amendments thanks to the GOP.

Overall, I think that earli voting is here to stay; there has been too much anger to be apathetic.

2 pages, both sides. Those 12 amendments were a joke.

3. Mail in voting in all 50 states is the way to go, but Republicans will never let that happen.

4. Absentee voting favors republicans.

So why would we want mail in voting for the whole country?

5. Actually it works very well in Washington state and Oregon..

6. Doesn't work so well in other states.

For instance, in FL and OH republicans are beating democrats in absentee votes.
Not so with early in person votes.

7. here is some info

In many states, Mail is thrown into the trash. Florida is known for it, and also for Boloteras that specialize in fraud with mail votes. Guess what party specializes in both these tricks. Do you have any countermeasures?
