What is wrong with Florida?

Still no results? How do they manage to screw up elections over and over again? Do they forget from one election to the next how to do it? It's not like we just sprung this on them and they had no warning or time to get it together.

I don't care if they don't decide till January. I want smuggled pics of Romney wandering the gated communities in a CostCo loincloth, telling strangers how he won Florida.

We could also elect him head Condo Cop here. He'd fit right in.

in the whole country, especially when it comes to elections.

It's time for the DOJ to step in, really. Reducing early voting days and polling places should be illegal. That's why voting there has been such a nightmare, early or today, and that's why counting will be slow. Likely some people only got to vote around midnight after standing in line for many hours.

Agreeing to open one polling station - one in a repug area? It stinks to high heaven, and like you say, the DOJ should definitely get involved.

I made a joke yesterday morning about Florida screwing it up again never thinking Florida would actually do it again. What is wrong with them. Do they let the same idiots do it every year. He'll let Georgia or Alabama count your votes for you GEEZBUS CHRIST
