Supervisor of Elections Miriam Oliphant said the problem was ''small,'' but admitted she didn't know what prompted it.
This woman must be wired in real solid with the local pols.
Miriam came under fire for booting out a wheelchair-bound poll worker of 15 years who was living on a Social Security check to make room for her Mom--even though hiring relatives is strictly against the law.
And then there was this:
Polling changes anger voters
By Buddy Nevins

Posted August 31 2002
Supervisor of Elections Miriam Oliphant is being flooded with complaints after more than 300,000 voters found out this week that they have new polling places.
Those voters are nearly one-third of the 1 million who are registered in Broward County, causing politicians to predict massive confusion at the polls for the Sept. 10 primary. Some feared the uncertainty or inconvenience of the new locations would discourage people from voting.
Already under fire for mishandling the hiring of poll workers, Oliphant and her office are taking the brunt of the blame from voters, community leaders and elected officials.
They didnt think this thing through. Its driving some of us crazy, said Robert Weinreb, who lives in Wynmoor condominiums in Coconut Creek and will now have to vote about a mile away.

Software thing? Unlikely, in the best case it was operator error.

If the race were close these missing ballots would have been insurance policy for law suits and recounts. Its obvious what happened.

Since you are totally clueless about our state, and elected Harry "I kiss commie ass" Reid to the Senate last time, I would watch what I say.
The voting was flawless. The problem, as usual is with this corrupt demorat elections supervisor who is already under a pending criminal investigation for "borrowing" voting machines to study them before the election. We had no problems down here other than this fiasco, which is in one of the few demorat counties in the state.
We re-elected Jeb, put a totally Republican legislature into power, and added 2 pubbies to the Congressional roles. What did your state do to help the Republicans on a national basis?
To: hexpoppy
Retained. The RNC did a lousy job about educating it's base on this issue.
To: 11th Earl of Mar
These people have to be crooks. Nobody can be this stupid.Simple science. Too much sun! Dims need shade! ;^)
To: Nuke'm Glowing
Clueless in Florida, Yea, that Reid thing bugs me, too. Unfortunately, Clark County is the DemoRat magnet in this state - we are working on that but hard to fight the influx from Kalifornia. Fortunately, most other state races went to the Pubbies.
Touchy about that voting thing aren't we?
It's ok, practice - practice.

LOL, we, the people who put Katherine Harris, are touchy! We prefer the blame goes where it belongs instead of painting the state with a broad brush. It's the southeastern counties, where the rats are in power. We've done our job, now it's your turn to get rid of that loser Reid.
To: Piltdown_Woman
That's true -- I remember him saying something to the effect of "clearly marked for Bush" or "no indentation (pregnant chad)". He did a terrific job -- thanks Judge!!!

Yes, they ARE crooks down in the Miami area Take that back. Broward (home to Fort Liquordale) does NOT include Miami, where I resided for three years. For all of its problems, Miami-Dade is NOT as bad as Broward, nor as liberal as Palm Beach. Nevertheless, that is like comparing the fifth circle of hell to the seventh.

As opposed to those sensible Condo Communist transplants from New York who run Broward and Palm Beach Counties?
Remember that Miami-Dade now sends THREE Latino REPUBLICAN Congressmen to Miami (Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Mario Diaz-Balart and Illeana Ros-Lehtinen).
