One thing is for certain -- AFTER Scott is re-confirmed as Senator, DeSantis is re-confirmed as governor, and Caldwell re-confirmed as Sec of Agriculture, the whole rotten stinking mess that is the Broward/Palm Beach county needs to be gutted and replaced. No holds barred, no prisoners.
Yeah but they’re the lesser of two evils.....so we need to continue to send incompetent, complicit fools to represent us instead of demanding better candidates from the party.
(Yes, I know, hanging would be better but one would doubt if election fraud is officially a capital offense yet.)
I woke up sick to my stomach over this bs. Palm Beach and especially Broward cheating is so blatant, so transparent, yet the voters in these 2 counties are behind it 100%. The sleazy cheaters will get voted in again and again.
Scott is afraid of being called a “ray-ciss”. He will back down.
Here in Ohio, each provisional ballot cast is in a sealed envelope in a pouch on the election box that is sealed. The envelope has the voter ID information on. The ballot inside is a normal ballot. In my precinct we rarely had more than two provisional ballots cast. Typically it was because of a name change or a person who moved into our precinct from somewhere else in Ohio and hadn’t updated their information. We always made sure everyone voted. There was always a bunch of voters who came to our precinct when they should be at another precinct. We would give them the option to go to the right precinct with directions, or to vote a provisional ballot. They usually left. That was when I was a polling location manager. Now they have these poll pads and voters can checkin and vote at any precinct in the county. In theory.
So far as custody goes. We always had 4 people at each precinct (2-R’s and 2-D’s). Anytime we needed to go near a voting machine, we had one R and one D go (opening, closing, or voter having issues). We had checklists for everything, and once we had everything bagged, zipped up, and tie wrapped, we transported the materials to the board of elections in personal cars with one R and one D at a minimum in the vehicle. At the board of elections they would inventory everything before we were free to leave.
My question is where are the R’s at these polling locations, in the cars, and at the board of elections?
Thanks for the info on Ohio’s voter system. I just called my county Board of Elections, and asked them about provisional votes, and surprisingly, they don’t even do them in New York State. They only do absentee, and affidavit which is for people who haven’t voted before, or haven’t voted in a long time. They don’t do provisional ballots for people who show up at the wrong polling place.
Because they can.
I gave up being a poll worker here in Ohio, because the training they give you is out of date, the opening and closing procedures are useless, they send us the same voting machines every election (including the broken ones), and the Democrat poll workers are the laziest bunch of people I have ever worked with. We were required to have a organizational meeting the night before the election, where we opened our box of materials and inventoried the items. To do this we needed at least one D and one R. My D’s never attended that meeting. Never. I had to get a D from another precinct in order to do the inventory, put up signs, and set up the checkin tables. It was a looooooong 14 hour day working with my D’s on election day. I won’t even get into the problems they gave me trying to close the poll. I finally said, enough.
From what you’ve told me about your time as a poll worker in Ohio, it’s almost as if they wanted problems with the ballots, especially in light of their failure to follow the procedures that were supposed to be adhered to. I worked one day at a polling place in Utica, NY many years ago. That one time was enough for me.
LOL! There was a great active gif years ago that every time you selected Gore it went to Pat.
Good memory there Gator.
