FL: Sun-Sentinel. Corporate sponsorship of Broward polling places!

Latest episode of elections circus

Corporate sponsorship of Broward polling places is the latest distraction from the purpose of elections.

According to Buddy Nevins, a corporation might have employees staff a polling place. Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes indicated that employees could wear their corporate T-shirts.

The employees would donate their $130 to $200 per day to the United Way. Saving no money for the elections office, this would help United Way. But what about the voters?

At some polling places, voters must already wind their way through new cars on sale to reach the voting machines.

It is thus unconscionable to force the voters through a further intrusion of advertising by privatized elections workers. This will reduce voter confidence.

rigged, corporate-owned machines anyway! I want my country back...where elections were run on the local level by citizens in the community. I want paper ballots, counted locally.

We are so screwed. :(

In the parking lot of our polling place this past November, was a a girl scout and her dad who had set up a table and were selling girl scout cookies. Never saw that before ...

Of course, I got sucked into buying 3 boxes and probably gained a couple pounds.

* sigh *

in California too.

Canada is sounding so good. Especially if they send Steven Harper packing.

Wanna vote? Please report to the 700 Club Studio -- or to the Diebold Headquarters parking lot. :grr:


"Oh Canada ..."

These scumbags would be in charge of polling places, the ballots, voter sign-in, etc!!!

:grr:

booth is really going to inspire confidence.

I think I'm going to retch.

Ivotronic DREs didnt get linked up to the Main frame intill 11am the 1st day of early voting.

Thousnads of absentee ballots never got mailed.

Sample ballots got mailed after early voting started.

4 to 8 hour lines during early voting.

Beyond incompetence, it could lead to even more intense corporate control of our elections.
Gone would be the days of the civic-minded retirees. They could be replaced with corporate tools.

Civics class assignment for high school seniors, and maybe juniors. Who better to trust to safe guard our vote and democracy? After all, they will be the very next adults to directly live with the results of this process.

I have a lot of faith in our young; and believe it just might help convince them to register to vote when they become of age.

and Broward had the most problems of all types including touch sceen switching and biggest total of stolen/swung votes of any county in the county- swinging the Florida election. the U.S. Senate race was also affected.
