Florida government is a national disgrace

What an embarrassment that people are having to wait in line until 2 in the morning to exercise a fundamental right in our Constitution. The government of Florida should be embarrassed, and I certainly feel embarrassed for my country. The rest of the world is probably looking at this situation in complete disbelief.

I have told everyone since last weekend these morons would have their results hung past election night.

We have a bigger DEM registration than the GIOP has registered, but seemed to get killed in statewide elections. We did better last night with Nelson winning, Grayson winning and West maybe losing, but for the state legislature we barely made any inroads. Our best bet for change is 2014 where it looks like Crist will run against Scott.

9. This was by design for this cycle. It didn't work and Scott will be out in 2 years. All will be well

Crist will run on a platform of changing the election operations here and that will have very popular support.

You'll see extended early voting again and either more polling locations and/or more machines.

But to be real here, motherfuckers need to go vote early. Why anyone waits for election day is beyond me.

It didn't work! We don't need Florida or Ohio to win anymore. No counting chads or supreme court.
