Edit to add: I'm not complaining / commenting on behalf of the Sander's campaign. ALL voters should be able to vote. I fully expect Biden to win the IL primary regardless of the issues here. Didn't mean to give y'all the vapors! lol
edit 2:
If I posted this thread with Biden flair, would the responses be the same?
DU used to be concerned about voter disenfranchisement.

(31,261 posts)Hillsborough had issues, but seem to have cleared them up. Broward and Hillborough were at the center of the infamous "hanging chad" recount in 2000. Both had extraneous local stuff on their ballot that made the ballots unwieldy. My county typically keeps local issues off national level ballots, except when something unexpected happens and a local vote needs to be added.

(31,261 posts)When the shit hits the fan, like in 2000 and 2018, we always hear about issues with Broward ballots, stuff like butterfly ballots, multi-page ballots with lots of stuff being on the ballot. In Marion, our national level ballots are clean, no local offices or issues are on them, except in a few urgent cases where something unexpected happened and the national level ballot was the quickest way to get a vote done - I like that type of organization.

(14,664 posts)Love it up there... I'm selling down here in Broward and moving to Pinellas County/Dunedin.
Broward has had it's problems. Won't deny it. Poor leadership. Same for Palm Beach..
This time it went well. Maybe my town got it's act together...

(31,261 posts)The great thing about this area of Florida is that if you like land around your home, you can get it. Even if you live in the "country", shopping and dining is always close by. The downside is that it is redder than what you are used to, but it has moderated big in the last decade.

Most voters having no problems. The only ones complaining have a rose in their name.
Now, some could be trolls and not really rose people.

(2,657 posts)yet she keeps making comments about what is allegedly happening at a polling place. What is she doing there if she is not even old enough to vote? Let me guess, mom is working at the polling place and mom made rebecca come, so now rebecca is all pouty and throwing shade everywhere. Oh, rebecca's twitter tail led to this tweet:

It's as if the Bernie supporters all decided that they really do not want today's primary to take place. Why would that be, I wonder?

(37,748 posts)But I certainly understand why, when Sanders is doing so poorly, you imply it's not a concern anymore... a political bias can compel us to abuse critical thought and allege others of having "the vapors y'all!"
