How Early Voting Could Cost McCain Florida
By Tim Padgett / Miami Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008Residents turn out for early voting in the state of Florida

In the 2004 election, at polling sites like the Coral Reef public-library branch in the Miami suburb of Palmetto Bay, the early voter tended to be an elderly white Republican male. Four years later, the early voter enduring the long lines that snake around the Coral Reef branch is more apt to be a younger, female, African-American Democrat, like Tonia Birgin, 34, a hospital ultrasound technician. "This being Florida, you never know what's going to happen with an election," says Birgin, holding an umbrella to shield her from the midday tropical sun during a two-hour wait this week outside the library. "This one's too important not to make sure my vote gets counted right. So I'm taking my day off today to do this now, not on Election Day, when it's too late to fix things."

Making Votes Count in Florida
This year Florida Republicans are probably worrying that it's too late to fix things, and much of that angst stems from early voting. Many of them, in fact, may be wondering what the GOP-controlled legislature was thinking in 2002 when it approved the practice.

1. Gore won Fl in 2000, and Kerry won it in 2004...

The FL Repubs are finally waking up to the fact
that their rotten-to-the-core vote-supressing infrastructure
is a thing of the past, and might not be able to STEAL Florida's
Electoral Votes and hand them to the losing Repub this year.

They're so completely unprepared for the HORROR
of a "fair election" that they don't know whether
to shit themselves or go blind.

2. The GOP are "... so completely unprepared for the HORROR of a "fair election" ..."

That's so true.

Well said!
