68. Disabled from shooting themselves in the foot?

Sun Apr 10, 2016, 10:40 AM

Apr 2016

...it's not a mystery. Here in Florida many Democrats vote by mail. Those who are loyal and registered are the most likely to vote by mail - they are already on the list.

Last minute and impulsive and party switchovers tend to show up too late to get the mail-in ballots down here.

We have all kinds of typos, screw ups, misprints, and foolishness with our ballots. Maybe some other parts of the country are getting into the election manipulation fun that Florida has enjoyed for almost 20 years!
