Florida's Gigantic Ballot: Was this on purpose?
So the actual ballots in Miami-Dade were these gigantic booklets packed with all kinds of amendments to vote on. Pretty obvious that this would add substantially to the amount of time for each voter to vote (probably even if they were to skip voting on the amendments), and it's REALLY obvious that it adds substantially to the time for tallying the vote. So much so that it's half a week after the election without a result. Who was responsible for making the ballot like this, when the result would be fairly obvious? Was it the SoS or legislature who put all this stuff on there? When were the amendments added on? If on purpose, was the goal simply to -depress turnout from big city ethnic voters just getting discouraged waiting -specifically cause a situation where the state wouldn't be counted or called on election night? -both/other?

10. Yes. The republican legislature there wanted to mess up the election and give the state to Romney.

holeeey sheeeit look at that thing!
you'd have to be blind to think this was "just a coincidence," "a mere unfortunate confluence of events," and "happenstance at its most inconvenient." oh my gawd, look at it! ah ha ha! look they're trying to steal it through a veritable avalanche of paperwork... ... and no one had to give a shit this time! AH HA HA HA HA HA!   
seriously, for fuck's sake, vote for a hardcore lefty who cares about your voting for FL Sec of State already. these past 12 years have been way beyond any comedian's ability to satire, but that, that fucking BOOKLET is icing on the cake. REPUBLICANS ARE FLAPPING THEIR GENITALS IN YOUR FACE AS THEY STEAL YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE! change your Sec. of State already!
