Pre-Election Florida Ballot Hijinks
Two bits sent to me by Tammy (thanks!) which I couldn't reach Blogger to update early this morning and forgot about until now:
The BBC has reported on a "caging list" containing 1,886 names and addresses of voters in predominantly black and traditionally Democrat areas of Jacksonville, Florida, which may be used as a challenge list to provide one more hurdle for each of the prospective voters to jump in order to vote on election day.
Meanwhile, in heavily Democratic Broward County, as many as 58,000 ballots that were supposed to mailed out on Oct. 7 and 8 could be "missing." Hopefully the news focus will find them suddenly reappear in the system and in people's mailboxes.
I keep hoping all of the advance suspicion and scrutiny will result in excellent use of the election polling places next Tuesday, and that things will go much more smoothly because so many people are watching, and watching the watchers in turn. How foolish am I being?
