Attempted Sabotage Foiled in Florida
http://www.tmz.com/2008/11/04/attempted-sabatoge-foiled-in-florida/

Posted Nov 4th 2008 12:00PM by TMZ Staff

So check this out. Deerfield Beach, Fla. is one hour south of Palm Beach. Nearly 400 people were firmly planted in line at 6:15 this morning, waiting for the polls to open at 7:00 AM. There is one voting machine to accommodate all of them.

The area almost entirely African American. Many of the people have never voted before. One woman was 101 years old. She was wheeled into the polling place and on her way out she said that before she died, she wanted to vote for a black man.

Election monitors noticed a man in line who appeared to be a voter. Turns out he was a saboteur, telling people the Democrats were supposed to vote at a different location.

Some of the voters said they were robocalled last night. The message -- Democrats weren't supposed to vote until Wednesday.

UPDATE -- Election officials just delivered seven more voting machines.

8. That's one of the few advantages of being 101 years old.
You can pretty much use a stick to beat the hell out of anyone you want, for whatever reason you want, and nobody's going to say anything to you about it.

9. Oooh, that makes me sad and upset. :(
But, I believe it. These actions are felonious and should bring charges of treason upon the perpetrators. :grr:

13. Repubs believe they own FL and only they have the right to vote in the state
They are shameless in keeping black people from voting in this state. The Repubs believe they are not worthy of a vote and are lesser beings then they are themselves. Racism is alive and well in the state of Florida believe me.
