Sheriff's deputies guarding Pinellas County's 11 early voting sites

[bluedog]

Sheriff's deputies are watching over Pinellas County's 11 early voting sites 24/7 until they shut down Nov. 4. The two-week gig, which costs about $100,000, protects the security of the voting machines after hours, says deputy supervisor Nancy Whitlock. Hillsborough County election officials don't use deputies. Instead, they lock up vote-counting cartridges in safes at night. Double-checks for tampering in the morning have not revealed irregularities, says Elections Supervisor Buddy Johnson.
