Where was Buddy again?

"Ironic, isn't it, that the I-4 corridor, long regarded as vital to winning the state of Florida's 27 Electoral College votes, would also offer up the intriguing visual of spilled boxes containing the names of voters, registration numbers, precinct assignments, a survey indicating who the individual preferred in the presidential election and whether they might need a ride to cast their ballot today. Admit it, the minute you heard about this story, the first thought that crept into your head was - "Oh dear, what has poor Supervisor of Elections Buddy Johnson gone and done now?"

Paper Blizzard

After all, Johnson has been sort of the polling booth's answer to the bumbling Michael Scott of "The Office," haplessly lurching to one embarrassing boo-boo after another.

Somehow, it was irresistible not to imagine Johnson himself driving along I-4 in a Supervisor of Elections van and forgetting to close the back door, leading to a blizzard of paper covering the roadway behind him. And that explains why Johnson's office leaped into action, noting they had absolutely NOTHING to do with hundreds of thousands of pages of documents blowing in the wind on I-4 and knew absolutely NOTHING about who was responsible for the trash.

You do have to admit that if Johnson had indeed been at fault for the paper pile-up, the resulting tidal wave of files would have been at least several miles long. There are such things as standards, you know."
