News Flash (Maybe) If You Haven't Heard Yet! Jennings District 13 Race!
Looks like THEY DID IT AGAIN! For anyone interested, please check out today's Sarasota Herald Tribune article about this race. Here's the link www.sarasotaheraldtribune.com

I am so MAD I could SPIT nails! Manual recount was supposed to start TODAY in Sarasota county, however has been put off until tomorrow, or so we're told! Too many games going on to date. At the meeting last night we were told by lawyers Coffey & Heckler that they are willing to go forward with the recount, but (and these are my words) they are being cagey about times & how the tapes from the machines will be viewed. They don't have a clue as to what the print outs will show from the ES&S machines, whether they will show race by race or simply a total count. They haven't been told what they will see. But that information WON'T be pursued until the manual recount of absentees is finished.

But it seems ONCE AGAIN... that the ballot DESIGN is at fault! Too bad voters, YOU ARE STUPID, once again!

I freely admit that I voted for Jan Schneider in the primaries, but got involved with this recount because I'm SICK & TIRED of this stuff happening. This IS NOT Democracy in action here!!!! Anyway, for anyone interested in this, it seems the suggestion is that Jennings should concede and wait for two years and run again.. that is if enough votes can't be found by absentees under votes!

WHY DO I PUT MYSELF THROUGH THIS???

1. Thanks for the update. I'll be down there tomorrow night and will
(once again) poke fun at my GOP brother about the corruption in Sarasota vote counting.

Sigh, it never ends, does it.

Of course, if we had Voter Verified Paper Ballots and a robust audit procedure we'd be able to know what the voters actually intended.

2. Well I Helped Getting Petitions Signed & We Finally Got That
passed, but not WITHOUT having to go to court for that too!

I posted this in 3 places, so if you want you can see some of my replies at Politics! I'm so TICKED off!

And I NOW feel I'm ready to join in a campaign for IMPEACHMENT!! I doubt that Crist even won now!
