Every Vote Counts, Except the Ones that Don't

POSTED BY: Gonzalo Cordova


Tampa Bay's local Fox affiliate posted an interactive map of voter complaints. The map reveals some have not been able to rock the vote. In fact, they weren't even able to smooth jazz the vote.

Miciala G. reports: "I was not able to vote. I relocated to Pinellas County June 2007. I registered to vote at the same time I changed my driver's license. This morning, I was informed that my voter registration was "illegible" due to the scan from the DMV. The volunteer at polling place told me there is nothing I can do. She also told me that they have see (sic) this problem a lot."

Robert K. reports: "They are denying my right to vote . . . I waited in line for an hour, but the polling officer was pulling others further back in the line, short of a riot, they discontinued
When I presented my ballot, it wasn't scanned, presumably the reader was not "working". When I phoned the Supervisor of Elections office I was put on hold, then someone picked up only to hang up upon me."

The most common complaint involves the scanners jamming or breaking down. It seems like many voting locations don't have repairmen at the ready to help fix these problems, because that doesn't seem like an important thing to have, right?

But don't worry. For every person that doesn't vote, there's one person that votes twice.

Keith B. reports: "I voted last Wendsday (sic) for the early vote. I went this morning just to check the system out and they let me go through and I could have voted twice. I stoped (sic) once they gave me the ballot, and told them I had already voted. There are 6 books with each name in each book. Someone can walk up to one book, sign and vote. Later come back go to another book and do the same."

Democracy works!

Good thing there aren't people actively attempting to disenfranchise voters.

It appears someone hacked into George Mason University's e-mail system late last night and sent out a hoax message…

The short message, which looked as if it came from the office of Provost Peter N. Stearns, was addressed to the Mason Community at large: "Please note that election day has been moved to November 5th. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you."

At least they were polite and apologized. This is just an isolated incident anyway, so don't fret.

Every vote counts, especially if you vote twice!

  1. Thank whoever I voted by absentee ballot (for Florida) from Belgium (where I live). The ballot arrived at the beginning of October. Sure hope it got back (it was mailed Oct. 6) and is counted. I keep hearing that absentee ballots aren't counted unless the election is "close".
