"Numerous voters were unable to cast ballots this morning because polling places either were not open at 7 a.m. as required by law or voting machines were not operating. "

I don't really see anything about "stupid people voting" having anything to do with the elections being extended.

I know a few pissed-off registered democrats in Florida who can't vote because their voter registration was conveniently "lost" by the govt. agencies.

Abolishing the board of regants was a VERY stupid decision. State Universities should not be controlled by the same people who control Elementary schools.

Isn't this actually more of a problem with the people that conduct the elections?

Well, i stand partially corrected. Of course, the people who conduct the elections are the same folks that the voters chose. In all fairness, I guess this is the circle being completed in Florida... last time it was the voters who couldn't figure out the butterfly ballot. This time, it's the election officials who can't manage to get the polling place open or closed at the correct time.

I find it rather odd that most of the places with malfunctions, were the predominatly democratic areas of the state...

Florida, a shining pillar of democracy or a disgusting excuse for a state of the union?

I laughed 2 years ago when most people here believed FL would get its act together in time for this year's elections. I just laughed again. :)

Hmm...a few years ago the Democrats were the ones really running the elections. They created the so called confusing ballot, they went and rounded up the old folks to get extra votes, and they gave the old folks cards telling them what holes to punch. What's that got to do with Bush at all? It seems to me like the democrats shot themselves in the head.
