ACORN is using this Florida statute section on a very literal basis. Several of the top State “powers” do not want to take them on this late in the election cycle, which I/we fully disagree. - FlA
2008 Florida Statutes, 97.0575 - Third-party voter registrations
(3) A third-party voter registration organization that collects voter registration applications serves as a fiduciary to the applicant, ensuring that any voter registration application entrusted to the third-party voter registration organization, irrespective of party affiliation, race, ethnicity, or gender shall be promptly delivered to the division or the supervisor of elections. If a voter registration application collected by any third-party voter registration organization is not promptly delivered to the division or supervisor of elections, the third-party voter registration organization shall be liable for the following fines:
(a) A fine in the amount of $50 for each application received by the division or the supervisor of elections more than 10 days after the applicant delivered the completed voter registration application to the third-party voter registration organization or any person, entity, or agent acting on its behalf. A fine in the amount of $250 for each application received if the third-party registration organization or person, entity, or agency acting on its behalf acted willfully.
(b) A fine in the amount of $100 for each application collected by a third-party voter registration organization or any person, entity, or agent acting on its behalf, prior to book closing for any given election for federal or state office and received by the division or the supervisor of elections after the book closing deadline for such election. A fine in the amount of $500 for each application received if the third-party registration organization or person, entity, or agency acting on its behalf acted willfully.
(c) A fine in the amount of $500 for each application collected by a third-party voter registration organization or any person, entity, or agent acting on its behalf, which is not submitted to the division or supervisor of elections. A fine in the amount of $1,000 for any application not submitted if the third-party registration organization or person, entity, or agency acting on its behalf acted willfully.
The aggregate fine pursuant to this subsection which may be assessed against a third-party voter registration organization, including affiliate organizations, for violations committed in a calendar year shall be $1,000. The fines provided in this subsection shall be reduced by three-fourths in cases in which the third-party voter registration organization has complied with subsection (1). The secretary shall waive the fines described in this subsection upon a showing that the failure to deliver the voter registration application promptly is based upon force majeure or impossibility of performance.
Leave it up to Republicans to stray from an effective message just to be different. I just wish they knew how to shut up if they can’t contribute to the defeat of liberals.
All it takes is one to cancel out my vote. That's one too damn many for me.
I volunteer to shut them up

Christ is a Rino. Period.
What a moron.
Just wait till they count the vote. If the State goes to Obama, it will be Crist’s cross to bear.
I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories, but this one really makes sense.

We all know that when it comes to voting, Florida really has its ...act together. Those people can really vote!
He HAS to say this. WHat’s he gonna say, “Florida is a screwed up mess again under my watch”.

Has Crist been hanging around Frank lately?
Really, he needs to go back in the closet.
And thank God McCain didn’t pick him as his running mate.
You just watch, if McCain wins, all those extra registrations that no one used to vote with will become the basis for screams of “vote supression.”
lol Sorry but it pisses me off. Do these guys really like to be favored poster children for the liberal media? Is that what they are running for? They should look at how John McCain is being treated now and see what they have to look forward to.
But a corrupt judge could EASILY vote FOR that person. That's why the corruption almost ALWAYS HAPPENS in precincts where there are only judges from ONE party.
Believe me, I'm from Chicago. This is how it works. Hold back reporting the vote until you know what is required, then vote the unused registrations.
