FL - Orlando...Reps threaten to call cops on Dems handing out literature

[Roland99]

From another board I frequent:

I just got a call from one of my volunteers. The Kerry people are passing out literature and the Republicans are saying it's illegal. They are wrong, but apparently they've called the police. I'm going to have to scoot over there. We have a 50 foot rule here. Poll watchers must be 50 feet from the nearest voting booth. My poll watchers are bout 150 feet away and they are passing literature out up to half a mile away, so I think this challenge will fail.


UPDATE:
Ok. Problem resolved at our precinct. Cops never came. Lawyer said it was ok to pass out literature more than 50 feet from voting booth.

My volunteers say voters are 2-1 in favor of Kerry in our precinct.

:D :D :D
