7. Here's the military vote for Broward county...
From http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/apnews/stories/111304/D86B558O2.shtml

"Meanwhile, the board tallied ballots for 87 Broward voters serving in the military.

Those voters chose Democratic candidate John Kerry over President Bush, 51-34. Two did not make a choice in the presidential race.

The number of rejected overseas military ballots was not available, but County Judge Robert Lee said more were rejected than counted."

10. It's disgusting that they can throw out ballots and not even
tell the public how many they threw out.

What about Florida's Sunshine Laws for public disclosure?

11. Say what! They rejected military ballots this time???
Oh, they must have gone for Kerry, indeed. And was this the reason?

"Federal law allows election officials to count overseas ballots from voters serving in the armed forces up to 10 days after an election. The ballots had to be postmarked by Nov. 2, and received by Snipes' office by 5 p.m. Friday."

Welcome to DU, Starfury -- and please report this interesting info to the BBVers.
