    Attention Florida Voters!

    ?VERY IMPORTANT FLORIDA!!!!!..... vote "YES" on keeping all 3 Florida supreme court justices.....

    http://www.defendjusticefl.com

    Extreme legislators are joining with Governor Scott and out-of-state special interest groups to try to get Florida Supreme Court Justices R. Fred Lewis, Barbara Pariente and Peggy Quince thrown off the Court.

    When you vote, make sure you vote "YES" and retain these judges.?

        That Republican crook Scott is already ruining the state. Why not give him the rest of the tools he needs to finish?

          I read earlier today that in some districts in Florida it is a 4-9 hour wait in line to vote.

            There have been massive lines this weekend in the key swing states of Florida and Ohio, with some voters waiting six hours or more to cast their ballot.

            This is not an accident. In Ohio, after attempting to cancel weekend early voting all together, Secretary of State Jon Husted (R) drastically rolled back early voting hours.

            In Florida, Gov. Rick Scott (R) reduced the number of early voting days from 14 to 8.

              There is a reason for that in FL... early voters typically vote democrat. Also, traditionally black people like to vote on Sundays after church together as a group activity. Gov. Skeletor made sure that can't happen. When lines for early voting were brought to his attention with pleas to extend it his reaction was its no big deal.

                One of the articles I read said that in a few places in Florida they closed the line and by the time everyone in it got to vote it was 1am which was hours past the deadline.

                It will be interesting to see if they try to challenge those votes cast after the deadline.

                  No they won't. They can't.

                  Anyways here is a comment from the corrupt Rick Scott himself....

                  "One thing to know, these early voting days and on Election Day, if you're there by the time the polls close, you get to vote."

                  I was in a long line and experienced the same scenario. The polls closed and an election official came out and stood at the end of the line.

                  Anyhow, remember FL voters, vote YES and retain the judges!

                      For those claiming there is a movement to suppress voting rights in Florida, consider this:

                      In Broward county, there were 17 polling locations open 12 hours per day for 7 days for early voting.

                      Tomorrow, there will be 729 polling locations open for 12 hours.

                      Cramming 729 into 17 is going to create enormous lines.

                      No one is suppressing votes. Early voting is meant to be a convenience for voters. It allows the voter to vote outside of their district during the 84 hours of open voting. Tomorrow, each voter will have 12 hours to vote. So long as they are on line by 7:00 pm each voter will vote.

                      There is no suppression. Stop creating a situation when none exists.



                      Such silly nonsense...... Really.....

                        Can you explain then why the governor of Florida state legislature (republican controlled) reduced the number of early voting days from 14 down to 8?

                        There is no logical reason to reduce the number of early voting days other than to supress the voter turnout.

                          Just realized my post above sounds odd. It should just say the Florida state legislature, not the governor.

                            There are plenty of logical reasons. How about cost, perhaps FL is cutting costs? Was it around hurricane sandy passing by?

                            Those are just two off the top of my head real quick immediately after reading this thread / your comment.

                            I'm not arguing either side btw, simply pointing out the flaw in your statement there.

                              Had they made it 14 days there might have been a few of the first voting days with bad weather from the hurricane. I have a cousin that lives in Miami and she said they got rain and some wind, but nothing too bad.

                              Cost is pretty minimal. The people that work at the polls are either already government employees and getting paid anyway or they are volunteers. There might be some costs involved, but the savings would be pretty minimal and I would guess they could get the money from the federal government if they really needed it.

                              Also, if you know that turnout is going to be strong and having those extra days helped make things go smoothly in the last election then why would you cut them and cause yourself headaches as well as potential lawsuits (which have already happened)?
