BBV - FL - 41% of provisional ballots rejected - look what Pinellas did!
Referring to the August primaries.....
"Canvassing boards rejected 41 percent of the approximately 2,000 provisional ballots cast across the state, the St. Petersburg Times reported.
(snip)
In Pinellas County, the canvassing board threw out the votes of three people who insisted on provisional ballots because they didn't trust touch-screen machines.
:wtf:
That board also rejected ballots cast by four voters who went to the wrong precinct, but counted the votes of three people who voted in the wrong place in a building that housed more than one precinct.
(snip)
Duval, Miami-Dade and Broward counties, which all figured prominently in the 2000 recount, rejected the most provisional ballots in the primary. Hillsborough and Pinellas threw out more than half, and Orange County rejected 80 percent."

3. Pinellas went for Gore in 2000
It's why I don't think my vote will be counted. There needs to be court challenges galore in this county. The repugs will stoop very low to win.
