(26,044 posts)...if a swing state with a Democratic administration pulled this sort of stunt to cut down on early voting that was expected to favor Republicans?

Dems to Win
(2,161 posts)I don't want these corrupt yahoos to have any part in electing my president!
They've had plenty of years to figure out how to run a clean election, and they have FAILED. GO AWAY!
about those of us who are Florida residents?
Dems to Win
(2,161 posts)The state should have been shut down -- people in the streets, no more business as usual -- as people DEMANDED clean elections and paper ballots and honest voter registration.
Now, I'm just sick of living in the same country as Florida. The USA will never have a clean presidential election with reliable, trustworthy results as long as Florida is part of the union.
If it was up to me, Florida would be expelled.
