Broward polls closed, despite Crist campaign effort


Citing those problems, the Crist for Governor Campaign in the hour before the polls closed asked Snipes to extend voting hours in Broward for two hours, until 9 p.m.

After Snipes denied the request, campaign officials said they would file an emergency motion asking the Circuit Court to order the extension.

In a news release, the Crist campaign cited the power outage, the malfunctioning ID scanner and changes in precincts as contributing to "several individual and systemic breakdowns that made it difficult for voters to cast regular ballots."

"We have reports in many cases that voters who were confused about their proper polling location were provided conflicting information and, in many cases, simply gave up attempting to cast a regular ballot," the campaign said in the release.

1. good for him

I think it's permissable under the circumstances.

2. See the article I just posted in the OP

His original request was denied, he's taking it to the Circuit Court.

At least Crist is fighting - more than Gore or Kerry did. I may not like the man but he really wants the office.

3. That's terrible

not much of a chance that judge is not a partisan Republican.

4. Or Alex Sink

SHE should have fought too with less than 1% to the Fraud.

5. Sink was a terrible candidate

I tried to volunteer for her campaign - she had no office here in Tallahassee and no one ever contacted me from her campaign staff even after I called them several times. I wasn't surprised when her campaign was half assed and she lost.
