Florida Voter Info Lost On Highway

Election Day isn't even here yet, but we already have our first voting mystery.

Thousands of pages of voter information were found lying along the shoulder of Interstate 4 this morning.

The papers, all with information about Hillsborough County voters, have been cleaned up and taken to a Department of Transportation maintenance facility for now, but voting officials still don't know where they came from.

Read the whole story here.

All of you trashing us here in Florida...give me a break. We have been busting our a$$es down here to help get Obama elected and aren't responsible for all of this. Do you think we like that our state has such voting issues, just as many other states do as well? Are you responsible for all of the c.orruption that B.ush is responsible for just because you live in this country? Obama has a VERY GOOD chance of winning this state which will guarantee that McCain will lose so think of that when you trash every resident of the entire state of Florida.

I grew up in Florida. They deserve every bit of it, because if Democrats had got off their duff and kept vote-corrupting Republicans out of the state legislature, they wouldn't have this problem now.

Tampa Democrats dumped voter info all over the highway, and attempted to murder a Republican candidate for congress, who BTW is African-American.

"Florida Congressional candidate Eddie Adams Jr. (R) was admitted to Tampa General Hospital Sunday suffering from severe burns on the hands and arms. He will be undergoing additional skin grafts Tuesday.

A vandal tied a mattress to the underside of Mr. Adams pick-up truck. Friction with the road, and contact with the catalytic converter combined to ignite the bedding. "

dumped by republican thugs to implicate democrats in some kind of voter fraud..

"No one ever claimed the papers. But Michael Steinberg, chairman of the Hillsborough County Democratic Executive Committee, said the information appears to have been generated by a software program used by the Democratic Party called Vote Builder."

Democrats did this.

[whit4brains]

And Democrats are the only ones who could have used a specific software program...oh please!

[hilary916]

Hopefully the information is stored in a computer and can be reprinted.

Oh no.................here we go again.

I don't know guys, I think America may need international election monitors. This nonsense each 4 years is really getting out of hand.

[Swordfishtrombone]

In fact this is already happening, but not on a large scale. The OSCE is sending a team of 47 people to monitor the US 2008 election:

I know of 14 political science students from Amsterdam who have come to Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati Ohio to check voting computers beforehand, interview voters, monitor voting procedures and write reports about it, which they will present to the American Embassy. I could Imagine there are others from other countries who are doing the same thing.

FL, OH, VA, TX, AL, MS, IN, and any other state with a history of voting corruption and bad organization should be barred from national elections until they fix themselves. Why are we letting the fate of the nation hang on a few back wood states with all the sophistication of an election in Bosnia or Columbia?

[jcorrington]

I sooo agree Rob!

[JulieSA]

TX has had no problems, except for the Democrat primary caucuses, which were stolen by Obama goons. There were many reports of irregularities committed by Obama supporters.

[whit4brains]

any proof to your claims?

[robXdion]

Tom Delay has warped the entire vote distribution in TX thru gerrymandering. TX is fixed for Republicans. But you probably like that now since Hillary didn't win, right?

[Rog49Thomas]

Yet another sign of the decline of the USA.

Welcome to the Third World!

[boing007]

Florida? So what else is new?

[voltaire11]

It's official, Florida wears the Dunce hat and sits in the corner.

[Montanagramma]

The troublesome thing to me is that the plan is to shred them today. Why not wait until after tomorrow's election to shred. That way if they were stolen documents, someone may claim them. I wonder if it was democrat or republican voter info? Or both? I smell a rat.

[liberalrebuttal]

My Lord Florida !

You know what ?

I give up. I'm sorry. I give up on that state. I just can't believe this . It's always something going on with Florida.

Always!

Its a banana republic for sure. i live in north rural florida and love bananas, though. orlando south needs a good flush.

In the 2004 presidential election, 57,000 voting irregularities, such as problems with voting machines and voter suppression, where filed with the Government Accountability Office mostly favoring Bush and hurting Kerry. Yes 57,000! If you're a journalist who has courage to speak up, look at the information presented and let it be known to the public.

Now this is a disgrace. If this would have happened in Iraq during their election people would be cryig foul. This is a disgrace in America.
