So who does this benefit, us or the Rats? Some people need 20 minutes to vote? Floriduh all over again.

[San Jacinto]

If the long lines, delays and confusion are confined to Miami and Dade as I expect, it may help Jeb. Of course, he will get the blame no matter what. But who cares?

[camle]

fun time again... why oh why is that elephant oliphant still in office?

[commish]

The big thing here is the LARGE NUMBERS of people doing the voting in Broward and Dade -- this is HUGE DEM territory.

If they are getting this large of a turnout it is imperative that ALL REPUBLICANS get to the Polls tomorrow!!

[mewzilla]

Can I ask a stupid question? Who's making sure these folks don't double dip by voting again tomorrow? Or is making sure that these folks are who they say they are and that they are eligible to vote?

[Seruzawa]

I've been voting for over 30 years now and I can't think of a single time that I thought a ballot was "complex". They are written for morons.

You have to be awful stupid (note to journalists) to not be able to push the probe into the hole that says "yes" or "no". Or to take a pencil and put the "X" in the proper box.

Naturally this process is difficult for the armies of Alzheimer's victims and mental patients that the demoncraps mobilize on election day. And for the "voting dead" it's well-nigh impossible. Though the demonRATS seem to manage anyhow.

[FreeTally]

Expect "We didn't have time to vote - we were disenfranchised and its Jeb's fault" to be the montra on Wednesday.

There are an unusually large number of Amendments on the ballot this time, and #1 is very lengthy and complicated to the uninformed. We have a total of 12 here in Leon County(Two local ordinances). However, every registered voter was sent sample ballots and should know what/who they are voting before they go to the polls. Anyone who doesn't was simply bussed in or told/convinced to show up.

[Shooter 2.5]

I voted last Thursday on the same machine the Florida voters are using. The process is walk in, present your Voter's Registration card, read the amendments on the table that will be on the ballot, wait for the computer to find your name and then sign it. The clerk then hands you a black plastic box which contains your ballot.

Insert the box into the computer. Wait for it to boot up and then read the straight ballot choices. I marked straight Republican, the computer asked if that was correct and I indicated "yes". I then pushed the big red button, removed the box and turned it over to the poll worker on the way out.

[justlurking]

Officials reminded South Floridians that anyone in line at 7 p.m. will be allowed to vote, even if polling places must remain open for many hours to accommodate them.

This is why it is irresponsible for the lamestream media to project the winner of an election, even after the polls have closed.

As long as people are still waiting to vote, it is not ethical to project a winner and effectively tell those people they might as well go home.

[Joe Brower]

Broward and Miami-Dade. As expected, the two counties out of the 67 in Florida where this chaos occurs every election. Run by democrat election officials who are too stupid to manage an election, and too large a populace of liberal morons who can't push a button.

Maybe the lines wouldn't be so long if Broward had those EIGHTEEN touchscreen voting machines that have been "missing" for the last two weeks.

[jsraggmann]

It took me almost 3hrs to vote in south Dade this morning. They had about 10 machines, 5 of which could be used by the vast majority of folks from the local area. The actual voting took about 2 minutes and the touch-screen voting machine was very easy to use.

[Cold Heat]

found themselves enmeshed in long lines four days before Election Day.

LOL! Floriduh screwed up with these high tech machines.

Most of these idiots can't set the clock on their VCR!

[jsraggmann]

For my official ID, I presented my Concealed Weapon License. I don't think the poll worker had ever seen one before!

[Asclepius]

... ''You have to read the instructions on how to use the machines before you get to the polls,'' Estille Jovan, 61, of Perrine, said with sufficient volume to be heard throughout the auditorium.

She stormed off ...

Imagine. Being forced by the man to read directions. When did we start spelling America with a 'k'? (sarcasm on)

It appears they're already laying the groundwork for their court challenges, brothers and sisters. This could be a very long and bloody month.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

Sorry, I don't believe this. If bus loads were delivered to a polling place with fewer than ten machines it is an attempt to delay linger and wait. I also think early voting just gives the democrats more time to screw around with the votes.

Any voter who shows up to vote having not read this ballot should be turned away. Even after you have studdied this ballot it is clear as mud. A non vote of all that these uninformed dumb dems don't understand would be nice, but then the dems would go in and vote for them, they have time.
All that's really necessary is to vote for the candidates if you are confused. THis ballot is a joke, pregnant pigs in boxes and all.

I will show up to vote at 9am tomorrow and let's see what I find. I suspect normalcy although we have all been bombarded with the loooooooonnng wait we will have to hopefully keep us home and make way for the busloads on their way.

I wonder if this election in Florida is messed up and fraud prevelent how long with the voter's put up with this bul$#&it before staging a revolt?

[finnman69]

Get Out The Vote Ping!

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

When I lived in Miami it didn't take that long to vote for Bush. It's a shame that most Cuban's are hard workers who shun welfare (except to supplement a cash employment or business). Most are likely converts to the Republican cause. Smells like a RAT plot to me.

[js1138]

Every registered voter got a sample ballot last week. There a lot of ammendments and they're complicated. If you aren't smart enough to figure them out from the sample, you're going to waste a lot of people's time tomorrow.

I figure the bussed in rat voters will never finish. I'm pretty sure there isn't a straight ticket button, so they'll have trouble.

[Crispy]

This sounds like a good strategy for Republicans voting in heavy Democrat areas. Just take an extra 10 minutes voting. If enough Republicans did this, the line would get so long, the Democraps would go home.

You know the Democraps would do this.

[SES1066]

I live a block away from my polling place. At the last primary, I was 2nd in line at my arrival at 07:00. Tomorrow, I intend to get there around 06:30 and will be interested to see what number I am in line.

I have already studied the sample ballot and there are 19 offices to be voted for and 10 amendments which I have already studied and know my vote selection by number. I will pronbably be in the voting booth no longer than a couple of minutes.

I have a problem with spread-out voting because I'm not that convinced that security can be maintained over such a long period. We are already seeing a lot of vote fraud reports and with the liberalization of registration, I worry about 'Cook County' vices prevailing.

LOOKS LIKE RATS TO ME

Rachel Delvalle (L) and her mother Norma Spector talk about the ballot while waiting to vote at North Miami Public Library in North Miami, Florida on November 2, 2002. Voters at the site, one of 14 early voting places in Miami-Dade County, reported waiting about one hour to cast their votes for the November 5 election.

Voters wait inside the Hollywood Courthouse, Florida for up to two hours to vote, November 2, 2002. Early voting facilities have been open in southern Florida since October 19.
