Experts cite prospect of election 'chaos'

Quote

This year's midterm election has the potential for the same kind of confusion that marked the presidential election of 2000, according to experts, who say little has changed over the past two years about the way the nation votes.

"Plus ca change, plus c'est la même chose."

Hey I heard something about ballot stuffing allegations in central Florida yesterday, but the report was very unclear and did not even say what party(or both?) it involved. Couldn't find anything on it later.

Any you locals down there hear about that?

It won't be a problem. The Supreme Court still has their rubber stamp from the presidential "election".

Republicans are in the lead by 6 points in Florida polls. Remember though, Florida polls have a 2,000 point margin of error.

A possible fraud involving absentee ballots is occurring in Southwest Florida, the Collier County Economic Crimes Unit says.
A Collier County Republican Party official filed a complaint with the Collier County Sheriff's Office, reporting that registered Republicans are receiving automated telephone calls offering to provide an absentee ballot in exchange for a person's Social Security number.

The crimes unit, operated by local law enforcement agencies, says that under state law the only person who can request an absentee ballot is "the elector, or if directly instructed by the elector, a member of the elector's immediate family, or the elector's legal guardian."

Absentee ballots are obtained through the county elections office.

Law enforcement officials said people shouldn't give out any personal information to anyone they don't know, especially through unsolicited telephone calls or mailers.
