Florida elections officials, whom you met in 2000 even you don’t live here, are being helpful again. Just trying to avoid voter confusion, they say, and make sure all those morons who normally rely on being able to spot the “R” after a candidate’s name are not repelled by seeing “Foley” preceeding the “R” and for once in their miserable lives vote “D.”
Yes, the folks who brought us the butterfly ballot, credited with helping one of the most most heavily Jewish population centers in the entire country go for Pat Buchanan in 2000, are at it again.
Election officials at state and local levels are considering posting signs in polling places and including notices in absentee ballots throughout the 16th Congressional District clarifying that a vote for former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley is a vote for his Republican replacement, Joe Negron.
Supporters of Negron’s opponent, Tim Mahoney, and some legal experts are crying foul, saying this would give the Republican an unfair advantage in a congressional race already overshadowed by controversy and turmoil.
…[B]ecause Foley pulled out of the race after the primary-election results were certified, it will be his name, not Negron’s, on the Nov. 7 ballot in District 16.
…Sterling Ivey, spokesman for the Florida Division of Elections, said state law does not prohibit such signs from being posted at polling places in an effort to clear up confusion for voters.
…Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Arthur Anderson said he liked the idea of signs and didn’t think they would put Mahoney, D-Palm Beach Gardens, at a disadvantage.
“Often times people don’t read signage at polling places,” Anderson said. “I don’t think it would necessarily do anything to Mahoney.”
Well of course not. But some might ask, if that’s true, why put up signs?
I feel confident that if the situation were reversed, and some Democrat was forced to resign after being exposed as an ephebophile, Republicans would be lining up to “help” voters understand. *Snork*
Florida gave its soul to the DEVILS OF THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY AND ANEXED ITSELF TO ISRAEL IN 2000, another FASCIST STATE, so what the hell do you expect, JUSTICE, RULE OF DEMOCRATIC LAW?????
LOL!!!
The Miami Herald this morning reported that those morons wanted to go even farther than signs and send a letter to every registered voter in Foley’s district explaining that a vote for Foley was a vote for Negron. I think it was Mencken who cautioned to never underestimate the stupidity of the American public.
