I'll update as the day goes on.
M. Moore is CATASTROPHIC FOR FLORIDA, I.E. THE POTENTIAL FOR SINKHOLES.
MERRITT ISLAND FLORIDA Prec. 16
Moveon was outside handing out pamphlets. Heavy Republican area, few Kerry supporters wearing stickers on their shirts. Very long lines at 7am.
Bal Harbour (pct 12 Miami-- Church by the Sea)
There was about a 45 minute to an hour's wait. Kerry supporters were outside holding signs (no Bush signs visible). The lady behind me in the line asks "They think that's going to change my mind?!?!") The lady in front of me was a former Dim who changed party affiliation because of Clinton.
Touch screens were nice. Just wish there was a paper trail.
I agree. I was poll watching this morning in a black surburb of Orlando at a Black Church. Great people and only about 200 people turned out. I had time to look over their charter school and plans for a senior center on a lake. The enthusiasm is so low. Only two long haired crazy white dudes were waving signs out on the street.
Meanwhile in the main Bush office on Semoran they have herded GOP volunteers in the back room because IPTAY Union guys are suppose to be coming to cause ANOTHER incident (they broke a guys wrist there earlier in month). I am returning to my poll for the last shift and think maybe there will be some more voters after work time. Remember Florida has a panhandle that is an hour behind the penisula. The panhandle is pro pro Bush so don't believe anything about Floridat until 8:30 eastern time.
I feel in bones it is going for Bush. Bush place was turning away volunteers by the way.
I live in Duval County, one of the most conservative counties in America. Bush to Kerry yard signs are about 1,000,000 to 1. I voted with my girlfriend and mom, who is slightly under the weather. Usually I walk right in and vote, but this morning it was full, but no long lines. My precinct is not one of the larger ones, but was pleased at the steady turnout I saw.
My girlfriend had a problem voting, a similar problem was related on Rush today. It seems her address was wrong on the voter rolls. She showed her ID and voter card, but still had problems. No way in Hell were we going to let them give us a provisional ballot. After about an hour of bickering and phone calls, she was allowed to vote after filling out a correct address form (which she filled out months ago at the Supervisor of Elections). The address that the voter rolls had for her was not even a real address. It is completely baffling how that could be. I suspect sabotage!
I'm getting a good feeling about the turnout in NE Florida. I think we will be the region of the country that puts President Bush over the top. God willing.
