Maybe we need to just take away their voting rights seeings they can not handle a simple concept!

florida groups are expecting people to vote via absentee ballot vrs the electronic one to make sure their votes are counted.
The problem with this is the fact that they are expecting over 700,000 of them. They are the last ones to be counted and they are all counted by hand under strict guidlines.
Man this state has had 4 years to fix itself.....WTF is their problem

Ok... not to sound biased or an attempt to sterotype Florida, the great State I'm about to leave, but this place is just plain weird.
I've lived a number of places, for extended periods of time. Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Nebraksa, Montana, ...the United Kindgom, Korea (and even the Middle East) and of course :( Florida.
I can't stand this place. I think it's something in the air, or perhaps people just have too much other crap on thier minds given the "all there is to do" thing going on down here. But, it's bad... at least in the Tampa/St Pete area. Everything seem's a little lazy, a little poorly done, and unfortunately... kinda dirty and un-kept. I've got 3 kids... 10, 14, 19, and I've never seen such a screwed up joke of an education system, something I think that speaks volumes to the problems down here in sunny Florida.
Just my opinion. Heck, chances are I'll be back here to work in a couple years. Won't exactly be looking forward to it but at least I'll know what I'm getting in to. Of everywhere I've been, Florida only beats out Saudi Arabia or Qatar, and I had to think that over lol.
....and sunny "Lets go to the beach today" Christmas just sucks.

Mainly because I dont want to hear 4 more years of whining from the libral "girlymen" about how GWB stole yet ANOTHER election. I want him to woop JFK's but and have it look legitimate

Keep in mind that the voting problems (people too stupid to punch a phuggin hole in a piece of paper, a voting mechanism used for generations) only happend in SOUTH Florida, which ironicly, is mainly populated by transplanted NE Liberal elitists. You know the ones, the ones that are supposed to be so much smarter than us dumb Rednecks up in the Panhandle. Funny, us dumb Rednecks didnt have any problem voting.

Damn the legations man!!!! I want a replay of 2000!!!! I wasn't here for all the great posts. It must have been legion, wow. It will be awesome. The thing is all of those elections boards were run by democrats all of them. Silly hand wringers. They need dem cheaters like John F. Kennedy. Now there was a man who knew how to steal an election!

Exactly Toad, if they couldnt figure that out they dont need to have their vote counted. Think of it as a vote form with a built in competency test.

Florida? I have the solution. Make the ballots resemble a golf scoring card.
