FL District 24 Clint Curtis vs Tom Feeney (Fraud Buster Thread) [View All]

[nashville_brook]

this is how Central Florida News 13 describes the race:

"We think it will be interesting because Feeney and his Democratic challenger, Clint Curtis, are likely to make it interesting by attacking and counter attacking each other. District 24 runs from the Kennedy Space Center to Daytona Beach, east Orange and Osceola counties, and a little sliver running through Maitland up toward Apopka. It was a new district drawn after the 2000 census, drawn when Tom Feeney was Speaker of the Florida House, and drawn by most accounts for him."

I'm monitoring web-based reports and the continuous television coverage on Central Florida News Channel 13.

ALREADY there's reports electronic voting machines errors in Volusia which includes the northern portion of District 24.

The AP has a story about state-wide voting "glitches."

There's some major rain coming our way later today and the local news is reporting that this hurts Dems, helps 'Pubs.

New Technology Could Delay Election Results

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- If you're in one of the 52 counties using both optical scan and touch-screen voting equipment, don't hold your breath for election results on Tuesday. The supposedly state-of-the-art voting technology is actually making final results take a little longer to tabulate, WESH 2 News reported.
Leon County Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho said he has never been afraid to call state elections officials to task if he thinks voters are getting shortchanged by the system.

He is ticked off this time because new voting equipment for people with disabilities wasn't required by the state to sync up with the optical-scan equipment used in much of Florida. "There's no way for this technology to communicate with this technology," Sancho said.
That means officials have two sets of numbers to count in every precinct using both systems.
So, even in this age of instant messaging, anxious voters will have to wait longer than in past elections to find out who won.
