To this day people still ask how something like the year 2000 election fiasco could happen. The onl;y answer is, "It's Palm Beach County, Florida."

It's sad and funny at the same time.

Big deal. Plus or minus 10 feet shouldn’t make any difference, as long as it’s applied equally to all candidates. It’s just so you can get in and out of the polls without being hassled.

Kinda redneck. It would even work as long as you weren’t scrupling over a few inches or so. Better a Craftsman measuring tape.

They should worry less about the distance of candidates and supporters and more about accurately counting the votes.

That way you don’t need to visit a blog that just re-posts Youtube videos.

Where would elections be without Palm Beach County?

It looked OK to me, they could see that it was too close and verified it, it doesn’t look like they cared about 2 or 3 feet, but that 25 to 30’ was obviously way off.

It made the person that put up the sign, look stupid. Twenty five or thirty feet is an idiot’s mistake.
