St Petersburg, Florida checkin in, early voting today at the
courthouse on 1st Ave. N was a blowout for Obama. We, me and my wife, were in line for 4 hours before we got to cast our ballot. Many thanx to the Obama grassroots organization and MoveOn.org for providing water and information as the line moved. When we left at 3:15 the line was still about two blocks long and people were voting for change.

Peace

1. Why does Pinellas only provide 3 EV locations? WTF!
Glad to hear that Obama and MoveOn were there with water etc. Were there any blue hats (attorneys)?

4. Perhaps it is because Jeb made a rule that only libraries, city halls
and county election offices could be places for early voting. No early voting at churches or community halls etc. And mandatory only 8 hours per day on weekdays. How's that for perpetuating the suppress-the-vote strategy of the GOP?

Fortunately, Crist (god bless his pointed little republican heart) at least opened up on the hours.

5. no, it's because the supervisor of elections, Debra Clark
Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 04:40 PM by onethatcares
decided that she would not open 8 early voting sites. Guess which party she belongs to:rofl: Her Democratic opponent was there, but for some unknown reason, she couldn't make it.

Not that anyone from the Democratic Party / the Obama Campaign / or MoveOn.org mentioned these facts to anyone.:applause:

yes there were "bluehats" there. The only thing they had to deal with that I know of was some woman trying to tell people they needed to show a voter i.d. card along with a driver licence prior to voting. That stopped pretty quick.

Man, it was a great feeling to see the number of people, of all stripes, that want to change the direction of our country. Peace to all.:yourock:

3. Obama grassroots organization and MoveOn have organized a "stay in line"

Campaign, which is the next step in the 'get out the vote' and this is an organized plan
of this election.

Thanks for the report.
