GOP tries to pull a fast one on Broward County mail in ballots today!

[FM123]

Just saw on local tv news (Local10) that when the Dems & repubs came to the Broward County election headquarters in Lauderhill to inspect the ballots (make sure everything was printed correctly) the repugs out of the blue demanded an additional inspection: of the signatures! All of a sudden they decided they need to make sure the signatures on the ballots matched exactly to the signatures on file. Of course the supervisor who was appointed by repugs enthusiastically complied. So the repugs got to pick 15 random ballots to inspect. Guess what - they ALL matched 100%. Nice try you slimy repugs! The attorney from the Democratic Party said this was not only unprecedented but illegal and unauthorized by statutes.

We have the largest number of blue voters in any county in Florida (over 600,000) and they know that - the repugs were hoping to find something anything that they could point to, to frame their narrative of mail in ballot fraud. Big Fail!!!

1. I have voted permanent absentee in California for years

And was warned when I first started to be really careful about that. How you sign, if you include your middle initial, and that it match how you sign your registration form as closely as possible, cause people will challenge. Not that there’s. much there there, but they’ll try and get a few tossed if they can.

2. seriously. using someones signature for a positive ID is imbecilic.

can i go to the bank, sign DONALD J TRUMP (assuming I was a good forger and had a giant sharpie) and withdraw any money he may have squirreled away? NO? didnt think so.

double imbecilic when you have amateurs doing the comparisons.

4. Just like in Seminole county in 2000.

They give too much freedom to Republicans. That’s why you have to vote for a county elections supervisor from your own party.

5. Yep.

We had a Dem (Brenda Snipes), then after the midterms Sick Scott replaced her with his guy Antonacci. He is the one who happily obliged the repugs today.
