[amuse bouche]

12. The polls

Last edited Sun Oct 28, 2012, 11:16 PM - Edit history (1)

are open from 7am-7pm everyday starting from yesterday until next Saturday

That's 8 days cut down from 14 last time around.

Not every polling station is open but you can vote at any early station

Edited to change Sun to Sat. Yes Nov 3 is last day for early voting. Sorry if there was any confusion

[RockaFowler]

24. Only until Saturday

Prick Scott decided to cut off early voting on the Sunday before the election. Because well he's a pRick!

[nvme]

28. no they are not!

Be VERY CLEAR EARLY VOTING ENDS NOVEMBER 3rd IN FLORIDA !!!! There is NO EARLY VOTING next SUNDAY! You can vote On November 6th too!(Election Day)

[amuse bouche]

35. Thanks

for the correction but isn't screaming in Caps Lock a rude, right wing thing?

[amuse bouche]

13. I went to an early voting station this am

It was in a library. Lots of workers. steady stream of people, even at 7.30 am on a Sunday but I didn't have to wait

Paper ballots,that you fill in with a flair pen and machines that scanned and sucked them in.

12 candidates listed for president, including Rosanne Barr for president and Cindy Sheehan as her V.P

And I had to show my voter I.D card and license, which was typed into a computer

14. Kudos from a Texas Dem. =)

[FloridaJudy]

15. I went yesterday

The line was horrendous, but it moved fairly quickly. The workers had it down to an efficient system: you show your ID (and they take almost anything), they look up your precinct on their computer and hand you the appropriate ballot. Judging by the bumperstickers in the parking lot, most of them were Democrats, but this is an extremely liberal college town.

It was easy: straight Dem ticket, yes on all the judges, no on all the amendments. For school board, you're on your own!

16. 5 more FL votes coming from my house! n/t

[glowing]

17. Plus all the mail in ballots like mine and my hubby's

Is there a vote total on mail in ballots. Our republican supervisor of elections had a robo-call to all registered voters explaining how long the ballot was and encouraged people to sign up for mail in ballots... I don't know if they think its easier to manipulate those? But I can track that my ballot was received and processed by using the Internet. I actually think she's more of a practical person. Pinellas Co has some very blue elements and she wouldn't want to lose her job that she's had for years by doing shady shit... That's my opinion on it.. However, I never vote for her.

20. We've Had The Same SOE Here For WAAAAAY To Long!

Kathy Dent, a nasty piece of work!

[ffr]

18. Love it! GOTV Florida.

This is how election victories begin.

19. Eleven Absentee Ballots From My Family

here in FL! Four haven't turned absentees in yet... but by tomorrow IT WILL BE DONE!

From one really, really RED County! Then there are 4 more from my neighbors!

I'm still so jumpy... this is Vern Buchanan country AND Katherine Harris was once elected twice from this county!! Vern will win again, he has lots of money & is an out & out CROOK!

[Orlandodem]

21. let's repeat this turnout in 2014 to kick out Prick Scott!!

[kmlisle]

22. Same here in Gainesville

I went down Town this afternoon to try to early vote and it was a madhouse. The black churches on the east side were all unloading busloads of voters (guess for who!) Everyone dressed in matching tee shirts. College students form UF were also coming down to vote. Free barbeque on the town Plaza. Long lines and crowds everywhere. No parking so I will bike down tomorrow afternoon and vote. It was great!

[marions ghost]

34. woo hoo

I have relatives in Gainesville.

23. I cast my vote for Obama in FL yesterday and just agreed to make some phone calls.

The Obama campaign is definitely not writing this state off. I live here and I think the prospects for Obama winning FL. actually look good.

[horsedoc]

25. We were going to vote early but...

waiting to cast our two votes for the President on election day. He better carry Florida!!!!

[AC_Mem]

26. I volunteered yesterday

Worked 7 hours straight doing data entry from canvassers and phone bankers. What I found interesting was that there was no middle ground, if the person called was "Strong President Obama", then they also VOTED EARLY. I would say - 95% of what I input.

In 7 hours I input 4 "Strong Republican".

The funny ones were "Undecided" , "Voting Early" - ??? huh ??? MAKE UP YOUR MIND!

LOL Lots of fun and lots of people working very very hard.

I heard Orlando was PACKED with voters - my friend voted yesterday and said you could barely move for all the people. I asked him "did you see allot of republicans? And he said, "humm... i saw an older couple who looked constipated, guess they were for the GOP."


HAHAHA!
