Katherine Harris Forgets to Sign Ballot

[kskiska]

LONGBOAT KEY, Fla. (AP) - Rep. Katherine Harris, the former Florida secretary of state who oversaw the disputed 2000 presidential election, admits she's responsible for a vote going uncounted - her own.

Harris forgot to sign her absentee ballot when she voted in Longboat Key's local election March 9.

``I feel terrible,'' the Republican said Friday. ``It's a mistake. I regret it.''

Harris said she was in a rush to catch a flight to Washington, D.C., when she handed the unsigned ballot to her husband to send in. She said she usually votes in person and has never had trouble before.

``I know how important voting is,'' Harris said.

The election decided the fate of a proposed community center, a Longboat Key Town Commission seat, and a term-limit proposal for town officials. Harris later received a letter from the supervisor of elections informing her that her vote did not count.

4. ``I know how important voting is,'' Harris said.

Oh, yes! Especially in Florida. Rich white women have no excuse. Jebby isn't purging them from the voter list. Katherine has no excuse, other than the fact that she is an arrogant fuck-up.

10. An arrogant

fuck-up with a seat in the United States House of Representatives. The Florida debacle was kind to Ms. Harris. Good service to the Bush family is rewarded.
Sickening...

:grr:

5. She still can't follow the election rules

At least she's consistent. She screwed it up as much as she could.

6. What a shame!

I wonder who she would have voted for?!? :-)

I guess messing up your own vote isn't such a big deal when you can disenfranchise 50,000 or so people at the drop of a hat.

9. The ultimate Freudian slip ... she doesn't want ANY vote to count

[Auntie Bush]

11. She made this public because she wanted Bush to know he didn't

get her vote because he didn't want her to run as she was too polarizing. Pretty sneaky Katherine! The only good move you've ever made!

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

12. yep...

...my opinion, too. Freudian slips speak as loud as actions, especially in this incident.

[xchrom]

13. now who would think that you

would do something as stupid as that, ms. harris?

[Just America]

17. K. Harris, the Bushies and their money making doctrine.

Her partisan decision to basically stop the recount in Florida awarded the presidency to we-all-know-whom.
Bravo.
Poor K. Her vote wasn't counted. Is that why she didn't want Gore to win Florida? For fear of having had her vote tip the balance in Gore's favor and live for the rest of her days with that thought in her conscience?
She will have to anyway. And she should rot in hell.
Her decision was the beginning of all evil.
I am just as equally fond of those poor, ignorant, low-income republicans who feed into the bullshit this administration is throwing at them.
Too bad they are too stupid to ever understand they were used.
Low-income and republican. That does not make any send to me.
This administration doesn't care about abortion, or morality. All they want are votes.

Also, never again should a low-IQ person be chosen as president. Let alone someone who hasn't ever left the US or has no clue about world politics or even geography.
Ignorance in not bliss. No, not at all.

[bluestateguy]

18. no surprise

She never respected the law as SecState. It's no surprise she would disregard it as a voter too.

19. oy vey

Lacquer-faced bee-yatch!

Gee, I guess you're as "stupid" as you and your ilk thought the people who mis-voted on the "butterfly ballot" were in 2000. I remember the non-stop insults about stupid Democrats back then.

Back at ya, BITCH!

20. Great new slogan for BBV people.

"Even Katherine Harris votes absentee!"

They need to take this and run with it. If the voting system is so secure then why doesn't even Katherine Harris trust it?

[MikeG]

22. I know that she is an evil and corrupt woman...

However, I still find her very hot.

[John_H]

23. LOL! If she were a dem, scarlborough would devote a whole show to it.

but since the last thing the hoes want to remind 'merica of is Florida 2000, this won't even make the little "humorous" bits they tag onto the end of news shows.
