I’m in Clay county and in 2004, the Democrat poll watcher rolled up, got 4 Kerry signs out her trunk and stuck them in the ground 4 feet from the doors to the polling place. She wore a Kerry button on her jacket and wore a Kerry hat.
I complained to the cop at the door and he said that they were told to not do anything if the Democrat poll watcher did this. I called the Supervisor of Elections and they just said that they were “busy today, but would look into it next week.”
I hope she shows up with her signs this year!
I used to live in Gainesville, a leftist stronghold, and that happened in both Bush elections. The Dems were campaigning literally two feet from the door, and nobody stopped them. The police were out there, but they went off to direct traffic so that they wouldn’t have to get involved, and there was no way of stopping this.
Nor of stopping busses of mentally handicapped people who were brought in by union workers from the local state facility for the developmentally disabled and “voted” in batches by them. This year, Florida has a new law that prohibits people from “assisting” more than one person in voting, which is great (and is something I will be watching for at the polls).
On another note, I live in St Augustine, a liberal bastion in conservative St Johns County, and last night all the Romney signs were stolen from my street (my immediate neighborhood is an old neighborhood and pretty conservative). The one Obama sign is still there, of course.
