Yes, FL elections have been stolen for a long time. We have managed to avoid the stereotype, however, unlike Chicago.

If Jeb is smart, and I think he is, and they really try to go after him, he will take the Supervisors of Elections in the counties that have had NO discrepancies in their count, either now or 2 years ago, and suggest that they run these three counties in Nov. and relieve the current idiots of their jobs.

Those guys are probably Republicans, and they use the optical bubble method, not punch cards or this ridiculous, very unsecure computer system.

And watch the Dems howl!

Jeb doesn't have the authority to replace county supervisors of elections because of incompetence. Only if they were indicted for some malfeasance in office could the governor take action. That's because the position of supervisor of elections is an elected office constitutionally mandated by the state.

In other words, the incompetent democratic voters of south Florida have elected equally incompetent officials to "supervise" their elections. Jeb is off the hook on this, because he has neither the authority nor the responsibility for the election process.
