Computer Problems Already Affecting Florida Voters
TAGmclaren writes "The Sun-Sentinel is reporting on computer glitches already affecting the election in - you guessed it - Florida. Of the 14 early voting sites that opened in Broward County on Monday morning, 9 were reporting problems. In Orlando County, the touch screens crashed. More generally, SFgate.com is keeping track of all voting issues across the country - including lawsuits and other ballot problems." Update: 10/19 03:38 GMT by T : Thanks to reader Dale J. Russell for pointing out that "there is no Orlando County. The city of Orlando, Florida resides in Orange County."

(Drudge):The Defiance County Sheriff's Office arrested Chad Staton, age
22, of Stratton Ave., Defiance, on a charge of False Registration, in
Violation of Section 3599.11 of the Ohio Revised Code, a felony of the
fifth degree.
The SheriffÕs Office alleges that Staton filled out over 100 voter
registration forms that were fictitious. Staton was to be paid for each
registration form that he could get citizens to fill out. However, Staton
himself filled out the registrations and returned them to the woman who
hired him from Toledo, Ohio. Deputies allege that Staton was paid crack
cocaine for the falsified registrations.
Defiance Deputies along with Toledo Police Department detectives conducted
a search warrant of a residence on Woodland in Toledo, believed to be the
home of the woman who hired Staton to solicit voter registration. Officers
confiscated drug paraphernalia along with voter registration forms from
the home. The occupant of the home, Georgianne Pitts, age 41, advised law
enforcement, along with Ohio B.C.I.&I., that she had been recruited by
Thaddeus J. Jackson, II, of Cleveland, to obtain voter registrations.
Pitts admitted to paying Staton crack cocaine for the registrations in
lieu of money.
A business card provided by Pitts indicated that Jackson is the Assistant
NVF Ohio Director of the NAACP National Voter Fund.
The initial complaint received by the Sheriff's Office came from the
Defiance County Board of Elections. The Board had received the 100 plus
registration forms from the Cuyahoga Board of Elections that had been
submitted to the Cuyahoga Board by the NAACP National Voter Fund.

Status quo== time thus. The incumbent wins when there is not a reason to get out and vote. Look at Florida, where my brother lives and got quad-whalloped by the hurricanes this year. When John Kerry visited Florida, it was a campaign stop. When George W. Bush visited Florida, it was the POTUS on an emergency declaration visit.
I just bought a paper yesterday that accuses both sides of fraud - Republican-hired ballot collection agencies throwing out Democratic absentee/voter registration forms, etc.
I think the worst thing that could happen to this country is to elect Pr. GW Bush or Sen. Kerry as POTUS. That'll be just like the 'official' end of the War Between the States; the shooting may have stopped but the feudin' sure ain't. Southern men are gentlemen, and gentlemen do not surrender to no one.
If I am elected President, I will be the peacemaker between all sides on all issues. And I will carry a replica Colt Peacemaker at my side as a symbol of that duty and privilege. Speak softly and carry a big stick, which I do and have and my former wife will attest to.
