OMFG!!! What the hell is wrong with Floridians?!?!?!

[Haole Girl]

They should draw them little picture cut-outs or something.

I don't believe this!!

:grr:

[still_one]

1. What are you talking about? We are doing OK in FLorida and North Carolina for that matter /nt

[Haole Girl]

6. MSNBC is reporting they couldn't figure out how to draw the line on their ballots. (nt)

[still_one]

12. Geez not again /nt

[Haole Girl]

16. Yes, unfortunately, again.

:-(

[tkmorris]

19. There is nothing wrong with Floridians

And the ballot you are referring to was only used in Palm Beach County. Furthermore, it is a poorly designed ballot. Sure, a reasonably intelligent person could easily figure it out and would be unlikely to make a mistake filling it out, but what you WANT is an idiot-proof ballot, and these were certainly not that.

[paparush]

32. Wasn't the MSNBC piece about provisional and absentee ballots?

[soleft]

2. what are you talking about?

[oviedodem]

3. Thankfully I am not a native Floridian

[KathieG]

7. Ditto.

[1corona4u]

37. No one is a 'native Floridian.

:eyes:

[Auggie]

4. Why don't they just print them in Chinese?

IDIOTS!

[1corona4u]

41. ....

[Auggie]

42. What? We're all on the same team here...

:shrug:

[RollWithIt]

5. What you talking about Willis? We're up by 300,000....

Confused.

[Haole Girl]

11. They are discussing whether some more ballots should be included or rejected....

"Shades of 2000...."

[RollWithIt]

28. There are no shades of 2000... Florida is going Obama... bank it...

Relax. I'm watching the Florida SoS website. It's over.

[kayakjohnny]

8. Here in Volusia, just fill in oval circle with black marker. Simple as can be.

What are you seeing?

[RollWithIt]

14. Actually, all of Florida votes that way, same in Lee County....

I'm proud to say we only lost Lee County 55% to 45%... Obamas vote total on track to nearly double Kerry's.

[Motown_Johnny]

9. I feel a lot better about Florida than I do Ohio...

[Guava Jelly]

10. By the time it is over..

We won't need Florida to win anyways..
Obamas got this!

[Elidor]

13. Gotta hand it to West Palm Beach: just when you think they can't top 2000, they do it again

It's like their elections chiefs want to be art majors or something. Stupidest fucking ballots in the world! They got'em.

[RollWithIt]

21. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?????

Obama currently up 56% to 43% in Palm Beach.

[Elidor]

43. I'm talking about the ballot design, not the vote tallies

I was just watching a brief clip of that of MSNBC when I said that. It boggles the mind that they can't get a competent person to design a simple ballot.

[Haole Girl]

22. I don't get it....

how did any of those people ever pass kindergarten?

[1corona4u]

31. STFU.

It was probably a few older folks. Like I said, not a big deal. What fucking state are YOU from?? Is Obama winning in YOUR state??

[Haole Girl]

38. I'm not from any fucking state. USAF brat...born overseas in a military hospital. (nt)

[DJ13]

15. Those arrow ballots are what weve used here in Ca. for years

It says right on the top how to draw the friggen line in between the arrows.

:wtf:

[bobd0]

17. I believe they were talking about absentee ballots where the voter had to

fill in a box between two other boxes to form an arrow that pointed to the candidate of their choice.

Really a ridiculous way to fill in a ballot, IMO. Who comes up with this stuff? Why always in Florida?

[Jeanette in FL]

18. My county was easy

Fill in the little bubble.

They actually made you do it as you were signing in today, so that you would know how to fill in the ballot correctly.

Which county are you talking about?

[Generic Brad]

20. Patience, KC2

High population areas that tend to lean Democratic take more time to tabulate. Florida is far from decided.

[Haole Girl]

Sorry.... I think it was a flaskback, or something

I'll be ok. :blush:

[Generic Brad]

39. Flaskback!

Have a drink for me!

[Haole Girl]

40. Yes, I think I'm overdue for a drink.

Thanks.. :)

[Catch22Dem]

23. My solution for Floidians

Have a round hole for Obama. A square hole for repuke. Tell the poll worker who you want to vote for and they HAND YOU a peg. You stick the peg in the hole. :evilgrin:

[Bombtrack]

24. Are there any fellow Loveline fans in here? Drew and Adam always had a pretty good take on Florida

It's like a bug lamp for idiots, only it doesn't kill them immediately.

[1corona4u]

25. Oh for fuck sake.

There is NO issue. A couple of dipshits didn't read the god damn instructions. Not a big deal. It's not like it's THOUSANDS of votes...chill the fuck out.:mad:

[blondeatlast]

26. Nothing--desperate republicans are challenging whatever they can challenge.

It's the asshole opposition, not Floridians. Stop it or be considered an a**hole by me.

[Haole Girl]

46. I normally don't generalize. My own father lives in Florida.

Sorry.

[progressivebydesign]

27. Dude. We have those in Washington State. They are NOT difficult to use.

Why would anyone have a problem filling in a little space between to arrows to make one continuous.

[1corona4u]

36. Dude, there are a LOT of older

voters. NO BIG DEAL. Let's not act as if it IS. Obama will easily win THIS county.

[DawgHouse]

29. It's a simple thing to connect the arrows.

And to answer your question, there is nothing wrong with Floridians.

[Haole Girl]

33. Sorry, didn't mean to get mean...but....

it really shouldn't be that difficult. :crazy:

[madeline_con]

45. I think s Repuke designed the ballot to confuse people.

The propositions were certainly written to do it!

[Generator]

30. I screamed at the teevee on that one too!

Post traumatic stres. I do not want to watch election officials in Florida scruntinizing ballots. I AM DONE with this shit.

[Haole Girl]

34. That's it!! Post traumatic stress.....

whew.

:scared:

[fishnfla]

35. whatever

eom

[Haole Girl]

44. I apologize to Floridians

That was a very childish outburst. I'm sorry.

Please just let this thread die a natural death. Thanks.
