I'm just obsessed with this 58,000 missing ballots thing

[PlanetBev]

Supposedly they are being replaced. How do they propose to do that? The fucking election is Tuesday. Since this affected a Democratic district, we can't afford to lose these.

1. why don't they just check in Karl Rove's briefcase?

They'll find the ballots quickly enough.

8. I have been out canvassing all day...

but I thought I saw an article this morning that there were only 6000 votes ballots still in question.

I know I know, 6000 is 6000 too many, please go easy on me. Is 58K still the number?

9. That was a thread I posted; 6000 is the correct number

Based on an article in today's Ft. Lauderdale Sun Sentinel. Brenda Snipes, the Broward elections supervisor, claims it was 6000 missing ballots, not 58,000. I don't have a link to that thread but I can probably find it.

I looked at that paper online a couple of hours ago. They were still sending out replacement absentee ballots as of 3 PM Saturday. Some of them are going out of town, with very little chance of being returned by 7 PM Tuesday.

4. I heard they are overnighting new ones

from what I heard on an earlier report, the SOE is overnighting thousands of ballots so they can still vote...don't know how successful they were in pulling it off though...dont remember where I heard it either - I think MSNBC

5. Remember, Jeb canned Miriam Oliphant and put in Brenda Snipes

Looks like Brenda has fucked it up real good.

6. Well....what the hell is their plan to make up for these....

to get the vote of these 58,000 people?

If these people don't get their vote counted...there is no FUCKING WAY IN HELL WE DON'T RAISE A HUGE STINK...A LA MOSH.

This has been in the back of my head for weeks. "What the hell are they going to do?"

7. As a Floridian...

I have already started amassing some information on who to file complaints with re: mishandling of files, abused felon list, etc. It may not do any good but as a Floridian I'm going to do everything in my power to make Jeb's life a living hell.
