Signs in Voting Booths to Say Negron Will Get Foley Votes
(AP) Supervisors of elections in former Rep. Mark Foley's district may post signs telling voters that Joe Negron is the Republican candidate even though it will be Foley's name on the ballot, Florida elections officials said Thursday.

An e-mail from the State Division of Elections to election supervisors in counties that are part of Foley's district said that "preferably, the notice would be placed in every voting booth" and in absentee ballot mailings. The suggestion angered some Democrats who said it gives Negron unfair help.

Counties do not need to post such notices, but the agency sent out its recommendations after being asked by local elections officials, spokeswoman Jenny Nash said.....

State Democratic Party Chairwoman Karen Thurman sent a letter to state officials noting that state laws prohibit signs from being posted at polling places.
...
Gov. Jeb Bush said the move would help alleviate confusion.

1. Can you imagine any moral person voting for Foley
and his party? The guy is a pervert and his party did nothing. Oh well.

2. People should check the polling places early and call the cops.
Get a copy of the law so you can make a report easily.
