Pasco elections officials have a warning for the county's absentee voters: Don't give your ballot to a stranger claiming to be from the elections office.

They're not who they say they are.

"The people who are soliciting your ballots in this manner are not elections officials," Pasco Elections Supervisor Kurt Browning warned Thursday.

Manatee Elections Supervisor Sweat said the people collecting the ballots appeared to know exactly who had absentee ballots. It is possible for political parties, candidates and political groups to get lists of voters who request the absentee ballots.

Sweat said it appeared the collections were occurring in neighborhoods full of low-income, minority and elderly residents.

Note how they are targeting low income and minority voters.... how despicable....

I'm sure Jebbie will crack down on this....

1. How low will Rethugs go? Do we really want people in office who will do

anything to retain power, American people? This makes me very angry. Jeb Bush ought to speak out at once against this kind of illegal and totally despicable behavior--but he won't!

2. There must be a swarm of layers on this...hoping to catch a person in

action to "blow the case open"...and see WHO is giving direction.
