What´s the Matter With Florida?
Atlantic, by Ta-Nehisi Coates

Original Article

Posted By:Pluperfect, 11/18/2012 5:56:41 AM

Allen West is challenging the vote count for his congressional seat. I think I see why: The elections office has admitted making mistakes in counting the ballots, saying that there was an error in feeding memory cards from voting machines through the vote-counting system. At a press conference earlier this week, the office´s supervisor, Gertrude Walker, said workers had acted in "haste" to get results out to the public on election night and that "mistakes were made." The Florida Secretary of State´s office said it was "concerned" about the situation

Mistakes? Doubtful, it sounds more like planned voter fraud. Will there be an investigation? Of course not, they are getting the desired results.

Mistakes were made, likely voter fraud, yet a judge has denied a recount? What kind of country are we living in? Is this how the Fraud got elected, also? If there were legitimacy in this election, Romney would be in the WH.

Florida has been ground zero for voter fraud since sore/loserman tried to steal that state.

Next came Ohio where kerry/edwards thought to recount to victory.

Since then the vote stealing has been refined so that we have the fraudulent re-election of the maoist.

Keep in mind that the fifteen states that had voter I.D. requirements had O losing.

FTA: "...Gertrude Walker, said workers had acted in "haste" to get results out to the public on election night and that "mistakes were made."

Wow, mom was right, "Haste makes waste." You´d think the integrity of the vote is more important than handing the news media the information they are chomping at the bit to receive. Calling elections has become a game to the networks. Why can´t we wait until the all the votes are counted? This whole system is a joke and will remain so until every state is required to have voter ID.

The problem with this article is that it does not explain the "mistakes" and the discussions after the article center around the best method to combat fraud.

In St. Lucie the number of votes cast far exceeded the registered voters, yet no one thought to throw the yellow flag?

The problem is on the LOCAL level. Those votes should never have been reported until every precinct was recounted. I don´t know the voting method down there, but I would hope they have a paper trail to actually perform the recount.

It is hard to win elections when you are competing against people who are Moral Relativists. Democrats have no morals; they believe the ends justifies the means and the "ends" is to win the election and the "means" is to cheat, lie and defraud the system. Their ideology tells them it´s ok to be criminal if you get the desired results.
When corruption takes over, everyone loses.

I am very thankful Allen West is not backing down in this obvious voter fraud case in Florida. I think this will be a good test case to see if voter fraud can still actually be addressed in this country. I think more and more people are coming to realize that Obama won the 2012 election due to massive voter fraud in important districts. I also think we should get rid of all computer voting machines. They are too easy to tinker with and there is no paper trail. I have read that paper ballots are the most secure way to count votes. Millions of votes for Romney could have simply gone "poof" into some kind of digital trash bin and no one would be the wiser. We need to seriously address voter fraud NOW. The Democrats plan for it years in advance and the rest of us are always caught flat-footed when it happens again and again.

The most benign answer as to what is wrong with Florida voting is the lazy bureaucrats and the careless handling of ballots. And, what more can you say for the box of ballots that is always found after the fact. Keep in mind that most all the bureaucrats that run the voting offices are Democrats.

second post apologies, but, #14, your post helps to make my point. Not only is the name stupid, but it is gender confused.
(In some countries, courts get involved in baby naming, if the name is outside the norms for that country. I´m usually not quick to suggest government intervention, but those proud ethnic names are stupid. And Sheila Jackson Lee complains that NOAA is not using proud black names when identifying hurricanes.

I take some exception to the term ´Florida´. We in Polk County have no problems. You go to the poll, show picture ID and voter registration and it´s verified in the ledger.
We use a paper ballot that leaves a trail if necessary. There are no horrible lines and waiting for hours. But then we aren´t controlled by democrats intent on stealing the election.

as for #21, The volunteers for True The Vote found discrepancies, but it is up to the Clerk of Elections to follow through, ie: had one from Rhode Island arrested for double voting but then Holder brought suit against voter ID and the clerks wussyed out and quit processing the discrepancies.
And by the way the court descion everyone is talking about that prohibits Republicans from monitoring elections, does NOT apply to True The Vote. We will go ahead with this.

Now I see the truth: REGISTRATIONS don´t matter. Fake ballots do.

Giant Bills Make Bad Laws

The Gang of Eight — four Democratic and four Republican U.S. senators — have been meeting behind closed doors since January to produce “comprehensive immigration reform.” That will mean a multi-thousand-page bill that no one reads. You know the saying “fool me twice.” Americans got bamboozled in 2010, when the 2,572 page Obama health law was rushed through Congress unread. The surprises buried in that law are causing havoc. Let’s not repeat the mistake of “comprehensive” reform. Congress needs to fix immigration one step at a time, passing individual bills in plain English on border security, hiring, access to benefits

WASHINGTON—Senate Democrats are expected to defeat on Thursday a Republican effort to block gun-control legislation, paving the way for the full chamber to take up the issue for the first time since the December shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. A bipartisan group of negotiators working on expanding background checks for gun buyers also appeared poised to announce a deal at a joint news conference Wednesday. An aide close to the talks said Tuesday night that they were working out legislative language. Democrats appeared to have the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster and bring the gun bill

Denver-based CNN journalist Jim Spellman says the total lack of media coverage of the legal travails faced by Fox News reporter Jana Winter for protecting her sources clearly demonstrates an anti-Fox News bias in the press. Spellman claimed in a tweet that if Winter, who faces a subpoena and potential contempt of court charges for protecting her sources, worked for the New York Times instead of Fox News, the case would be garnering far greater exposure. “Observation: If @janawinter, who may go to jail to protect sources, worked for @nytimes instead of @FoxNews the case would be huge,” Spellman tweeted Sunday night.

Obama will release his budget this week, and we already know that he´s going to try to stake out a treacherous "middleground" as he attempts to cast himself as a bold centrist, willing to stand apart from leftist Democrats. He´ll do so by, reportedly, introducing a Chained CPI, which is a way of cutting Social Security by using a different inflation measure that won´t rise as much. Liberals are already livid.

While politicians talk about expanding background checks for gun owners, I’m starting to think that what we really need are IQ tests for political officeholders. The only problem is, that might leave us with a lot of vacancies in Congress and America’s statehouses.

Secretary of State John Kerry is worth some $200 million, give or take a yacht. So his decision to slap a 5% pay cut on himself in solidarity with government employees squeezed by sequestration won’t likely hurt him much. But he’s saving taxpayers another way, too — if unintentionally. And it’s downright troubling. How else is Kerry saving money? He’s failing to hire folks to fill key spots at his agency. Terrific. Think about it: With the North Koreans threatening nuclear strikes against America — and Kerry himself preparing to visit South Korea this week — wouldn’t it be a tad helpful

In March, the number of Americans who dropped out of the labor force increased by 663,000 which adds up to a record 90 million Americans who are no longer looking for employment. Zero Hedge reported: This was the biggest monthly increase in people dropping out of the labor force since January 2012, when the BLS did its census recast of the labor numbers. And even worse, the labor force participation rate plunged from an already abysmal 63.5% to 63.3% - the lowest since 1979!But at least it helped with the now painfully grotesque propaganda

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
