Leaked Florida GOP Memo: "Democratic turnout machine is cleaning our clock"

23. Souls to the Polls

Is a huge voter turnout across the state run by churches. The GOP legislature and Governor tried to shut down early vote and and after a public outcry managed to reduce it to 8 days and took away the Sunday before the election when all the black churches had bused their congregations to the polls to vote en mass. When the GOP made their move it was immediately recognized for what it was and the churches began to organize and this last Sunday became the big souls to the polls day in Florida. Our little town square was quite the scene with charter buses discharging large numbers of congregants on Sunday afternoon dressed in matching lime green tee shirts. Combine this with Gators for Obama shuttling college students from UF and a punk rock festival and free barbeque and it was quite the scene.
