Editorial: Don't hijack votes in county elections

[shortcake]

Want a taste of life in the former Soviet Union?

Walter McCarty and 42,906 other Treasure Coast residents are getting a good taste of it today. They have been shut out of voting in the Indian River County races for two County Commission seats.



In Lake County this year, the same thing has happened to 93,000 voters, more than half of the county's electorate.

Could someone explain this to me in simpler terms? I don't know if I'm just having a dumb day or what? I'm not sure I understand this. I asked one of the poll workers today and they said they didn't have a clue. I haven't read anything on DU about this either.

Thanks.
