Precinct 309 -- heavy Dem -- voting official trying to turn off machine and ERASE votes.

(ETA -- attorneys on it.)

1. Someone needs to contact the local media now!

It's important that we catch it while it's happening.

[nashville_brook]

5. we've been having ALL kinds of funkiness that the Sentinel just isn't interested in

maybe Channel 9 WFTV will get on it. They're the local diggers.

2. This is rick scott territory. They can't win honestly so they steal..

[nashville_brook]

13. there's certain districts here that have been really f'd up

like, Supervisor of election officials telling people not to "worry about the Amendments section" of the ballot. "you don't have to vote on that."

We made a complaint SoE, and then heard more complaints of the same.

We have some very contentious local amendments that the Chamber/GOP is trying to suppress.

[monmouth4]

16. I hope it's being reported..n/t

[snooper2]

3. so somebody there is smart enough to take out their phone and record video right?

15. Not legally:

Florida

A copy of the laws referenced below governing Florida’s elections can be found at http://election.dos.state.fl.us/publications/pdf/2006_election_laws.pdf

1. Can you photograph or video yourself inside the polling station?

No. See 102.031(5) of the Florida Code, “no photography is permitted in the polling room or early voting area.”

4. Are you on the scene? If not, can you tell us where you discovered this?

Please.

[nashville_brook]

7. one of our poll watchers.

we have a social media network reporting.

[MineralMan]

8. Thanks. Someone should call 911.

That would be a crime in progress.

[djean111]

6. Any more info on that? Hopefully someone is catching this with a cell phone.

[nashville_brook]

9. yep -- attoneys on it -- this is why we need poll watchers!

sounds like a technology freak out. they didn't have an IT person and the "solution" the poll official came up with "let's just turn it off and erase the card."

[GGJohn]

11. Sooo, the machine malfunctioned or what?

[lunasun]

17. judges have info on what to do when there are malfunctions -this poll person is not following rules

it is not suppose to be chaos and on site brainstorming!!!

[workinclasszero]

10. Yes get it all on your cell phone video and upload to the internet where it

will live FOREVER!

[think]

12. Very disturbing .... /nt

14. I live in Florida in a heavy Republican area.

I just came back from voting and my precinct was a ghost town. I am hoping this is good news for our Governor's race. Or is it to early and just wishful thinking on my part?

P.S. I also live in a area where most people are retired and are not at work.

[Baitball Blogger]

18. It could be good news.

[amuse bouche]

20. I'm in the Temple Terrace area and have the same ghost town atmosphere but

we mailed our ballots in last week

Papers like the Miami New Times have said Charlie has been pulling ahead lately

I sure hope Gov. Voldemort is done. I truly detest that Rat F*cker

[William769]

23. Join the club! (I truly detest that Rat F*cker)

Lets hope the papers are right.

[jwirr]

22. Could be most of them early voted?

[Bluenorthwest]

19. No such mayhem here.

I'm pretty used to feeling badly for Florida voters. I mean, it's ever cycle. It's pitiful.

[Phlem]

21. careful, you might be labeled a "Ratfucker"

by a certain crowd in DU.
