29. I live in FL, had my votes stolen in 2000, and 2002 and I assume in 2004
since we voted on DRE machines with no way to verify what actually got counted. It makes me furious to know that as an American my votes probably counted towards another candidate. Beyond furious frankly.

BUT- those have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PRIMARY-- nothing at all- period. Florida Democratic leaders opted to ignore the rules of the DNC and change the date- and then ignored the offer from the DNC to help have another primary at the appropriate date which they refused. Many people- hundreds of thousands of people from the latest report - DID NOT VOTE because they/we were told our votes did not count. The rules were very clear- you don't change the rules after the game has been played. Counting all of the primary votes AS IS disenfranchises millions of voters who did not bother to vote or voted for a candidate knowing it would not count.

What it with the people that insist on linking the deliberate ignoring of the DNC rules by FL Democratic leaders (all Clinton supporters by the way)-- with the fraud and disenfranchisement in 2000, 2002 and 2004 on the General elections? GET OVER IT FOLKS-- our Florida Democratic party SCREWED US - GET IT-- and the DNC has no choice but to honor the rules they deliberately broke.
