Here we go...

btw--East Palmetto is primarily a low income area.

[NautiNurse]

Voting fraud in the area--and a lousy scam too.

Ballot scams aimed at early Manatee voters

The DuGong Show.

Isn't it great we have early voting. That way there is a full two weeks to stuff the ballot boxes or come up with a new voting scam for every day. Cool :)

Do Florida voters HAVE to vote early or can they wait to election day if they choose?

[snooker]

The polls are just open for two weeks. The concept of election day no longer exists. The traditional election day is just the last day to vote.

[kinsman redeemer]

Manatees are slow and need more time to get to the polls.

[mbynack]

Early voting is voluntary. The Democrats are hoping for a large number of early voters. They're hoping that projections for Kerry will discourage potential Bush voters from voting.

[Lord Nelson]

Some one in Florida was complaining that so much can change between now and the real election day. So I thought "Well then wait before you vote, you loser." Floridians can't seem to figure things out can they?

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

These libs are making me nauseous.

[Tijeras_Slim]

What's up with this? :)

[snooker]

FL has a dim party that relishes in trying to herd minorities and retirees toward their causes. It usually just results in colossal screwups like the 2000 election where the to cute by half crowd got all those condo voters to vote for Buchanan.

If people are allowed to do this, our country is gone.

If we aren't allowed to peacefully vote for our representatives, people will use guns to express themselves.

The bad people are playing with fire, and the good guys are complicit if they don't arrest people doing illegal things.

Sounds like the AFL-CIO is already on the job.

[NautiNurse]

LOL!

Manatees are slow and need more time to get to the polls.

They also need help. After all, they don't have opposing thumbs.

My hope is that the feds can find grounds to arrest Soros for all the fraud that man must be funding.

The real scam with early voting is that if you don't vote early, you may find that someone has already voted in your name by the time you do show up.

I don't know if any early fraudulent votes could then be identified or discarded.

"strangers falsely claiming to be county elections office employees visited her home and offered to take her completed absentee ballot to the elections office, saving her the trip or postage to mail it to the elections office."
This one is straight out of the Democrat Election Manual that was posted here a few days ago. The Dems are planning to bundle and deliver absentee ballots.

In FL you need to have your voter ID card and a picture state of FL ID. All the data must match, address, picture name and voter ledger. Then you have to sign the ledger. So it is a good system -- And they do actually verify and look at the photo vs person standing there.

How can you tell if a manatee has been in your voting booth?
