(Broward) County wants investigation into voters who tried to vote twice

[ryban]

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Broward County officials want prosecutors to investigate about 30 registered voters who attempted to cast ballots twice in the Nov. 2 election.

Members of the county's canvassing board, who certified the county's election results Friday, said they were concerned about voters who cast ballots by touch-screen voting machine at early-voting sites in the days before Nov. 2, then tried to cast paper ballots at the precincts on Election Day.

Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes said she has contacted the Florida Department of Law Enforcement about those who tried to vote more than once.

Meanwhile, the board tallied ballots for 87 Broward voters serving in the military.

for those who weren't allowed to vote once.

4. Trying to create the impression that the Dems committed fraud

Those voters chose Democratic candidate John Kerry over President Bush, 51-34. Two did not make a choice in the presidential race.

7. If you read that carefully they are the 87 military ballots....

.......that were counted. :)

My question is how many total military absentee ballots were received and rejected and what was the reason for those rejected? :shrug:

I'd also love to know what the breakdown of the Presidential vote was for all military ballots received vs. just those 87 that were counted?

Under Florida 'sunshine laws' all of the received ballots, whether counted or not, are a matter of public record and therefore may be examined by the public after the election has been certified.

Anyone in Broward County feel like taking a look? :evilgrin:

9. Gee... are they trying to prevent military from voting?

6. See how fast they jump on this issue but refuse to

even acknowledge the larger issues.

Of course they will blame these double voters on the Democratic party.

10. ANYONE who violates election law should be prosecuted.

But all violations should be investigated.

11. Looks like counting the military vote isn't as important this year.

Those voters chose Democratic candidate John Kerry over President Bush, 51-34. Two did not make a choice in the presidential race.

The number of rejected overseas military ballots was not available, but County Judge Robert Lee said more were rejected than counted.

Looks like we won't count those pesky things if the soldiers aren't going to vote sensibly....
