They are downplaying it, but long lines and issues in some counties. Pinellas is doing better.

1. People have learned and are not going to take it anymore. Everyone who had a problem should call.

4. well, nothing can be done if people don't know the problems are real

6. They just interviewed a woman in Tampa...same precinct since 1990...
now she is not on the list. She showed her registration card. Refused to fill out a provisional ballot...

Tampa is a mess.

5. I just tuned in (and quickly out) of M$NBC, and the TH said
voting was honkey-dorey, peachy-keen, okay-dokay and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Would corporate spokesperson and their 7 figure salaries mislead us? Naaaahhhh
