over-emphasized. We are a republican led purple state, any democratic voter sending in a mailin ballot is asking for trouble. In a close election, and all national and gubernatorial elections in Florida are close, all that is needed to get a ballot set aside is a challenge of the person's signature. How many of us sign the same way each time? I don't. What republicans count on is that most of the people whose ballots they challenge either won't know that their ballot has been challenged, or they will fail to show up in person for their identity to be verified. In-person early voting gets around that stuff, once the ballot is stored, that is it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
