39. here in fla pinellas as well!!
i was a poll watcher for early vote, and the general..and i can assure you in early vote for 2 weeks..what i saw ..there was no way * won here..but the numbers have * winning pinellas the heal of the I-4 corridor * supposedly won by 200+ votes..nonsense!! and i really worry folks about this early vote..it only gives the * admin more tine to play with the numbers, has anyone thought about that??
i had two kerry ny lawyers come into one of the places i was doing early vote..they wispered to me that "someone inside" said kerry was creaming * ..that the lawyers said was by absentee and early vote...so how did it only change election day?? we had soooo many vote early all the big long lines were during early vote..our lines on election day were not near as long or bad as they were for early vote..
but ido remember something very weird that happened in st . petersburg during the primary on aug 31st, a good dem here who was registering voters went to the soe office in st. pete on a saturday afternoon , during early vote for the primaries, he had a bunch of registrations to turn in, well when he got to soe office, the door was open..not wide open but unlocked, with no one there..evidently the office was closed and no employees were there..but no one had locked the doors...with voting machines and absentee ballots all in the offices...this was a period of live primary , for senate..amd state stuff...

the guy who found it open called police and stayed until the police locked the soe office...and he called me and the kerry field rep at the time...

i said that day..this is a test..they are testing leaving the doors open so changes in machines can take place.....
i know i know this all sounds eye spy..but seriously , i really felt it was a test ..on a saturday..with all night sat urday to get into the soe offices and all day sunday...where no one would know anyone was in there...i felt sick...and yes it was in st pete times...i told the guy to call the newspaper..

but i will assure you i worked as a pollwatcher in 4 different places during early vote, and another place altogether during general...
i saw without a doubt in early vote no less than 8 out of ten and 9 out of ten people voting for kerry..and that was with 3 hour lines to vote almost daily for atleast the last 5 days of early vote and definitely on the weekends of early vote..

how do i know they were voting kerry you ask...i didnt need exit polls while sitting inside and watching the vote process, or walking outside by the lines....see we had no rules during early vote of giving out voting materials, or staying back the 50 feet..there were no rules ( i assure you there will be next time) but there were none this first time of early vote......therefore kerrys team was giving out fans with kerry edwards, and kerry edwards t shirts, and buttons , and water bottles...
i saw with my own eyes the people who were excited they got kerry tshirts and buttons..and fans..and when i tell you 8 to 9 out of ten in early vote were voting kerry!!
now general election there were 50 ft rules in place..but during a break i sat out where the kerry kids were handing out water bottles for people waiting..i saw people who were voting * turn their nose up at the water and make nasty comments about not drinking kerry paid for water..and i sawmany more happily accept water and make comments about one more day...the ones that took the water far out numbered the * voters...many many young people were voting,i was so proud of them, and they were vocal, they didnt understand the rules of no talking while inside , and they were cheering each other saying no more bush,..in fact many had to be told not to say what they were saying inside the voting room..i was giddy with delight at how many young were there to take our country back...

no one will ever ever ever ever convince me * won my I-4 area...there were so few * signs or any campaigning..and we had huge kerry workforce here...huge!! and more volunteers than we could even use...but we did..

my husband drove voters to the polls...all day election day, and a couple other days for early vote, everyone i knew i had driving voters..we had people going and helping seniors do absentee ballots , and hand delivering them we had teams here doing that..i never saw anyone from the * campaign doing that..nowhere!!

but my concerns lay with early vote..this gives a party in power..no matter what party...this is not partisan...this gives too much time to manipulate votes...they can see what the numbers are ahead , and changes can be made...especially in partisan areas...hell our head soe lady ..her husband sold the sequoia machines to the county, and she was the deciding factor ..her husband made the commission...and gee he could have had the tabulator codes couldn't he have...and a soe office in primary was left open on a saturday afternoon..leaving full access to anyone who would have wanted to get into the offices with no detection??

no this early vote in my mind is a fool proof way to steal votes...
