Florida primary tomorrow
elections
Tomorrow is the primary election in Florida... it's gonna be crrrrraaaaaaazy! Verified Voting will be testing it's Election Incident Reporting System that will be used in November.
This will give you a good feeling of why tomorrow is interesting in elections:
To get an idea of the paranoia and distrust that is swirling around Tuesday's election, consider:
- At least a half-dozen groups have set up toll-free numbers for voters to call if they encounter problems.
- Roughly 400 people %u2014 about two times more than normal %u2014 will be inside Palm Beach County polls watching to make sure no one is denied the right to vote.
- Teams of lawyers have been assembled to be ready to intervene if problems arise.
- In reaction to a constant barrage of criticism about the efficacy of touch-screen voting machines, record numbers of voters in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast have requested absentee ballots to create a paper record in case recounts are needed.
And Tuesday's precautions pale in comparison to battle plans already being drawn up for the main event: the presidential election in November.
