Why is Randi Rhodes telling listeners....

[NervousRex]

that the polls nationwide close at 7PM...They close at 8 here in MN, and also in WI.....WTF?

[budkin]

1. She is talking about Florida n/t

[NotLiberalEnough]

What is 'n/t'?

[nickgutierrez]

9. No Text.

Used to show that the subject line is the end of the message. :)

[madfloridian]

2. She said 7 in Florida.

I did not hear her say 7 nationwide. National media is saying polls close at 8 in Florida. Not true.

[Cleita]

3. Call her up and tell her she's wrong.

If it's a mistake, then I'm sure she'll correct it on the air.

[nostamj]

4. they close at 9pm here in brooklyn....

i think she's focused on FL... but, even if they 'close' as long as people are in line at 7pm, they can still vote. esp. in FL, that 7pm time will be meaningless given the MASSIVE TURNOUT!!!

yeah!

[progressivebydesign]

5. She's trying to fix an earlier blunder...

She had stated that many polls on the west coast closed at 11pm, and some in Florida closed at 8pm. She came back to fix it, and was told, I guess.. that all polls close at 7pm. She REALLY needs a comprehensive list of poll closures to refer to.. In the scheme of things, I suppose it's better to err on the side of caution, than to make people think things are open til 11pm. Someone on her staff NEEDS to get a comprehensive list.. NOW.

[NervousRex]

8. Yep.

By saying it's 7PM, people could also think it's too late to go vote when they have another hour.

[T Roosevelt]

10. She was saying EST numbers

And the confusion about Florida is the panhandle closes at 8pm EST (polls in Florida close at 7pm, so this is correct).

[NervousRex]

11. That is worse.

So polls nationwide close at 7PM EST?...that's 4PM on the west coast?...a stupid screw-up on someones part. Eastern time is AHEAD of the rest of the country...

[soleft]

6. I think she came back and said she was talking eastern time???

[LuCifer]

7. Most state...

...they close at 7 PM. It's cuz of this screw up saying FL's were staying open to 8, WHICH AIN'T THE CASE! Get yo butts out to the polls BEFORE 7 JUST TO BE SURE NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE!!!!!!

And if anyone challenges your vote, get the attention of a poll worker and don't put up with these repukes! They are going DOWN!
