Florida Messed Up Again?
Well, Florida seems to be up to its old tricks again. Just days after the election, controversy is sweeping across the Internet as bloggers and political minds alike look at some of Florida's results with a weary eye.
The controversy has erupted over a number of predominantly Democratic counties, where the vote total went dramatically for Bush. For example, in Baker County, where registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by almost three to one, the vote total was 2,180 for Kerry and 7,738 for Bush. Now it is certainly possible that many of these Democrats are likely part of the Old-Time Democrats (Dixiecrats), but the numbers are simply startling. More troubling is the fact that these trends continue in a number of Democratic counties.
But there is one thing that all of these odd-ball counties have in common: they all used optical sensors in voting. I am not all that familiar with the technology, but the difference between touch screen and optical sensor counties is very suspicious.
