Prosecutors find 100 uncounted ballots in Oliphant's office

State prosecutors have found ...about 100 ballots in a mail tray inside a file cabinet at Elections Supervisor Miriam Oliphant's Fort Lauderdale office during a search late Tuesday afternoon. County officials were stunned by the discovery and said it would likely be a key piece of evidence in the ongoing investigation of Oliphant.

pingaroo!

[Enterprise]

The mere presence of the uncounted ballots is unexcusable, but I would like to read a breakdown of who the votes were for.

[HairOfTheDog]

The Oliphants have an office?

[exnavy]

Sounds like Elephant has some things to explain.

[Illbay]

So much for "count every vote."

The new synonym for "hypocrite" should be "Democrat."

[FreeTally]

Given the in-fighting in South Florida, and that it would be incredibly stupid to keep such useless items in a file cabinet when one knows an investigation is going on, I think there is a good chance these were planted by other Democrats.

DAY of SUPPORT…Tues, 1/28/03....FLY your flags (US, a British one, Hungarian, Polish, Australian and Japanese one, too if you have them)....and put up your BUSH/CHENEY signs, (and the BIG W's on your SUV's) for the STATE of the UNION next Tuesday, Jan 28th, if you support the President, our MILITARY and the United States of America. PSST....pass it on.

I know -- I really enjoyed the RAT primary aftermath where they went after each other!

[PhiKapMom]

I had to wonder about military ballots as well. The RATs will stop at nothing to get their candidates elected.

Why can't I find this story anywhere on DU?

[DrNo]

Isn't it amazing how they were able to write the whole thing without using the word 'democrat'?

I was going to ask about that; from the Jeb quote, you would think she was a Republican.

[Grampa Dave]

Please go post it and some links about their predator the The Ritter!

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

We certainly know what to look for ... and not find.

Well, with this kind of consistency, at least we can accurate deduce the information.

[Phantom Lord]

I have signed up at DU in the past to have some fun. They prevent posters from posting new threads until they have a certain number of posts. I do not know what that number is, but I know I have never reached it.

Its not like FR where you can post a new thread immediatly.

They say they have something like 6,000 members? LOL. Most of them is....us!

" . . . from the Jeb quote, you would think she is a Republican."

Yep, the quote conjures of visions of Katherine Harris, but Oliphant is a black Democrat (which I did not know until I read this thread on FR).

[aristeides]

According to the article, these were ballots during the September primary, when McAwful's people were anxious to ensure the defeat of Janet Reno.

"Isn't it amazing how they were able to write the whole thing without using the word 'democrat'?"

Broward County...she MUST be a Democrat.
