Kerry leading Electoral votes: Site says Florida now Barely Kerry
http://electoral-vote.com/

I'm in Florida on the ground daily, and I say
Florida is VERY KERRY!

We will win Florida by 7%, IMHO, ergo the election.

1. Without the oversight we have today, Florida was barely Bush's
in 2000. I would have preferred a paper trail, but right now it looks like Kerry's momentum in Florida is so great with Absentee Ballots and early voting, that if Bush's people attempt to steal the election, it will be difficult to spin.

2. Yes, but this stuff concerns me:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/story/0,13918,1330495,00.html

Gordon Sasser first got the feeling that something strange was going on when the telephone pierced the silence of a weekday afternoon at his house on the swampy fringes of Tallahassee, northern Florida.
An automated voice had some surprising news: did he know that he could now cast his presidential vote by phone, and could do so right now, using the keypad? Mr Sasser's suspicion that somebody was trying to trick him into thinking he was casting a vote - presumably so that he wouldn't cast a real one - was far from unique.

James Scruggs, another Tallahassee resident, remembers a similar unease about the young woman who phoned him at home, insistently offering to collect his absentee ballot to ensure its safe delivery.

Then there was the elderly woman who called the local elections office last week to register her husband for an absentee vote. According to office staff, as she hung up she made a point of thanking them: she wouldn't have thought to get in touch about her husband, she said, if it hadn't been for their helpful call the night before, when someone had taken her own details, assuring her that she was now registered and would receive a ballot.

But the elections office makes no such calls.


Is the Florida Democratic Party aware of these shenanagans?

4. It will have to be more than barely Kerry
Jeb will decide who gets to the polls, who will enter the booth and which votes shall be counted.

Ahh, isn't American democracy grand? Let's export it to Iraq!

8. I don;t know why the people in Florida
did not get rid of Jeb when they had a chance. I mean they knew what he did in 2000 and still voted for him to be governor again. UGH...
