These people have to be crooks. Nobody can be this stupid.

Dems Is stupid!

Maybe we should create a "dems is stupid" ping list?

[evolved_rage]

Floriduh!
Floriduh!
Floriduh!

[rwfromkansas]

At least it didn't affect any races.

Yes, they ARE crooks down in the Miami area, and not just involving elections. All most all of the government offices in that area are so corrupt that it is disgusting!

[blam]

LOL, That's a good picture.

Welcome to the future.

At least most people could understand chads. You could show one on TV and grandma could grasp the excuse. It was more plausible than "Oh Hey, we just created ...um, we just FOUND 100,000 votes. Oh, did we just tip the balance in this race. Aw shucks. No, I can explain this, but our IT people say it must be true."

Oh yeah, dems are gonna love this technology.

This poor guy deserves a medal for all the cr*p he went through...not to mention all the times his image has graced FR threads! :-)

[JZoback]

This was a set up in case the race was close enough for a court challenge.

It is very difficult to blame voter fraud when your guy lost by 700,000 votes, though

I'm with ya, but damn - how many times will it take for the FloriDUH folks to get it right.

I'm thinking they may need some election supervision from some other states that do not have these problems.

It's beyond funny. Fire the entire crew in the 3 infamous counties. I'll risk the flames and bet that all the "officials" (giggle) in these counties are at least 65 years of age. I'll be glad if I'm wrong.

Gee, golly, whiz, shucks - I read earlier that the vote in FloriDUH went smooth. I thought they finally got a passing grade in the rocket science of election voting process.

Guess I was wrong. Why is it I'm not surprised?

More than 100,000 votes went missing on Tuesday between the time they were counted by electronic machines and the time they were reported..

Now I know why they had the helicopter camera coverage of moving the ballots in the 2000 debacle. Seems completely justified now - they can't be trusted to keep track of sh*T.

Fire them all and re-staff with people - that have brains.

It was a simple software glitch,...i.e. they didn't connect the keyboard to the voting machine PC at the cemetary and didn't realize the PC never booted up properly. The FIXED it later on so everything turned out per design.

Move on, nothing to look at here.

"402,951 people voted in the governor's race, but only 337,976 total ballots were cast.

''That was the red flag,'' said Charles Lindsey, an election monitor from the state Division of Elections"

Gee, DO YA THINK???????

Criminy............

[inflorida]

Oops...All most = almost

Duh!

[Ditter]

If I remember correctly, that guy was a Republican.

[Paul Atreides]

I remember seeing that guy on the news, back in 2000. My first thought was "what a goober!".

[Bubba_Leroy]

I'm just amazed that they didn't manage to "find" several hundred thousand more "lost" votes.
