Figures today indicate Bush up by 15% in early voting.
I'm voting tomarrow in Bradenton, Florida.
It's interesting that the article referenced elderly people who are voting early. Kerry's strategy to scare the elderly might be working. Only, they are so frightened that Kerry might be elected, along with his straight-jacket wife, that they are turning out in huge numbers to vote against him.
I'm so worried about Democrat fraud and litigation. It really needs to be a blowout win for Bush.
William R. Scherer, a Fort Lauderdale lawyer working for the Republicans, said that his party had no need for such stunts. "We don't need to bus," he said. "Most of our people have cars."
LOL!
I was talking to a Nueces County Republican official a few days ago, and he mentioned an elderly Republican who had died. My father aske if that person had voted yet, and I asked if it was still too late for him to vote in Nueces County.
By Monday, more than 350,000 voters had already cast their ballots in North Carolina, nearly 6.5 percent of the state's registered voters - matching the total of early voters for the entire 2000 election.bump bump bump!
The early vote has not gone smoothly everywhere. In Florida, Republicans charged that their voters were harassed at sites in Democratic precincts in Broward County.
Matthew Miller, Florida spokesman for the Kerry campaign, shrugged off the charges and said Republicans were complaining "so when they offer challenges on Election Day they've set the groundwork."bump bump bump!
Early voting bothers me. With single day voting, poll watchers can guesstimate the people coming and going. If they count 8K and the precinct reports 20K, it's pretty damn obvious once you know the absentee count. With early voting, who the hell knows.
"Alicia Balseiro, 70, an ardent Bush supporter in Miami, said on Thursday that she had come out to vote early for a big reason. "I don't know if I'll die tomorrow," she said."
Uh, if she dies before election day, her vote shouldn't count.
