Oops, Florida miscounted again, Hillsborough County. 3rd error.

Well, now, Mr. Buddy Johnson who founded Buddy Freddy's restaurant. Perhaps you should go back to the restaurant business and leave the voting to others. He was appointed by Jeb, most likely as a favor to a friend....he is most surely not competent!!

AND of course our Rob MacKenna speaks out again.

Elections site posts errant tally
SNIP..."

TAMPA - For three weeks since the Aug. 31 primary, the Web site of Hillsborough Supervisor of Elections Buddy Johnson included this obvious contradiction: a total of 118,699 people turned out to vote countywide, while 125,891 voted in the race for state attorney.

That's 7,192 more votes than voters.

Did the county's new-fangled touch screen voting machines go haywire and tabulate extra votes? Was there a ballot-stuffing scandal in the race for county prosecutor?

No, it was something even more predictable in the recent history of vote tabulation in Hillsborough County. It was human error, Johnson said Wednesday...."

SNIP..."In the Nov. 2 general election, he faces Democratic newcomer Rob MacKenna, 33, a computer programmer for Eckerd Corp. and Florida organizer of the Howard Dean presidential bid.

"It's hardly a surprise to hear that Buddy Johnson's office has made another mistake," MacKenna said Wednesday in response to a question about Johnson's Web site. "It may be that the real human error was made when the governor appointed Johnson supervisor of elections."

You go, Rob!
