Ok, on CNN, I just heard from Rep. Robert Wexler (D) Florida, stated that as many as 4% of the vote in Ft. Lauderdale punched out 2!! votes for 2 separate candidates on their cards out of "sheer confusion". Earlier on the WCBS radio in NY, I heard that the votes for Buchanan from the same area was due to confusion by people voting. What in the living hell is going on down there? Smells like Gorebot is trying to save his ass through misinformation. Either that or Floridians have some serious mental problems (no offense meant to Bush and Nader voting Floridians) :)

Think about what you are saying! The only reason Florida is in the spotlight, is because it came down to that state as the one who decides who our next President will be. How many voting discrepencies are there in all the other states that went unnoticed? The county the problem in question has a ballot that is different than any other in the country ... or in the state of Florida itself, for that matter.

Very true Slimboli, and hegemonic... this happened all across the Nation people punching two canidates and Votes being tossed out!!! it all Comes Down to Education!!! and Teaching and Comunication!!! and Helping others!!! it seems Nowadays People tend to themselves and are in a big rush to get going on to something else that needs to get done rather then Slowing down and Following through with what is at Hand first... and then they are the one's who B!tch about it first.... (Example) How many People do you think that are out there that Buy a Computer and some soft ware with the Idea they are going to be able to just solve a whole lot of there problems and fix there Finances, With this new Technology... then they get it home set it up Jump right in Load there Programs and Whammo they Lock it up.. all Because they do not slow down enough to read the Install's Properly.. I know that at my polling place and as well at others that i talked to.. they had Instructions Posted on how to Correctly fill out there Ballots and if need be People on hand to help walk them through there Instructions
But if they did not slow down to read the Instructions or Didn't want to ask for help then they pretty Much Winged it and It "Locked Up".. Look at how many people did not take the Time out to get Registered ahead of time and were turned Away from the Poll's... Thinking well I know who I want to Vote for But I'll just wait till Election day and Straighten out my Address Problem
or my Registering that day... "Wrong" you cannot thump them in the head and Say, Hey Slow Down America...
Every one of us are Guilty.. of Being in an All Fired hurry and Last Minute Decissions that doesn't end up the right Decission at all.. and with elections You Only get that one Shot and thats it till next time!!!
Laterzzzzzzzzzz
