Stay Alert! Just posted on Facebook (Silver Rose Society page)

FLORIDA!! Be EXTRA careful when voting! Just saw this on Debbie Wasserman's page: Christine Scott Debbie - Just off the phone with a friend who voted in southern florida. He checked Obama for President and then went about the down ballot votes. Apparently, at his polling place, the last thing you can do if you want to, although many don't do it, is review your ballot for authorizing your vote. He saw that ROMNEY had been checked instead. So, he unchecked Romney and re-checked Obama...and went through the process. AGAIN, it came up Romney. At that point, he got a poll worker who had him fill out a provisional ballot. This is NOT HEARSAY. I JUST got off the phone with him.

Repubs added 11 constitutional amendments in order to slow down the voting. If you sit there and read everyone of the amendments it will take you almost 30 minutes to vote. Best thing to do is vote:

Obama
Nelson over the ass clown
Vote NO on all 11 GOP amendments
Vote YES to retaining all three Supreme Court Justices (being targeted by GOP for standing up to them)

The fact that it would not let the person correct the ballot is even worse than just a flip!!!
Many would correct it once and figure it was now OK to proceed

I've heard that there's some places where the law says clicking a party line vote button won't select anyone for local government offices.

The reason being it's an attempt by local government people to protect their jobs in wave election years.

because the GOP know they cannot win in a fair vote. Voters tomorrow just need to wait it out, the lines will be long, but never let these assclowns take your vote away by giving up.

Vote

Obama over the Crook
Nelson over Connie the clown
NO on all 11 amendments, they are rigged to confuse you that you are voting for something that you are in reality not getting
Yes to all 3 Supreme Court Justices

The local issues are your decision, but please vote for Grayson if you get a chance and knock out West.
