A voter who casts a provisional ballot - or ballots - at the wrong precinct(s) is not entitled to have the bogus vote(s) counted, the Florida Supreme Court unanimously ruled today in a blow to Democrats.
Unlike the Clinton-appointed federal judge in Ohio who last week gave election thieves a major victory by ruling for bogus provisional ballots, Florida's Democrat justices had the decency to rule against their own party's activists.
"The court said that the law clearly states that provisional ballots must be counted only if the person was entitled to vote 'at the precinct,' and that the constitution gives the Legislature the authority to dictate voting rules," the Associated Press reported.
In a slap at increasingly violent labor unions and other Democrat pressure groups, the justices pointed out that requiring provisional voters to use the correct precinct was just as reasonable as requiring everyone else to use the correct precinct.
