I am outraged at voting in Florida today!

[freetobegay]

This may sound petty to some, but I always looked forward to getting my little sticker that says I voted! I was proud to wear it all day. But Now it says I voted touchscreen! & that really pisses me off!

I refused the sticker & I told the person why, I don't like touch screen voting with no paper trail.

1. I know - I got the same damn sticker

I crossed out the part that said touchscreen. How was turnout? In my precinct it was incredibly low even though we have a nasty school board election.

5. Turnout was very good,

Which is bad I Live in a Republican stronghold.

I think one reason is high voter turnout is a corrupt sheriff some are trying to get rid of. No democrats running for sheriff. The only thing I got to vote for today was to non partisan school board seats & The Senate seat, everything here where I am at was all votes for Republicans.

9. Same here - I'm in Naples.

My only votes were for Senate and against a ring wing fundie trying to get on the school board. Our turnout was very light, I saw page after page of blank signature lines.

2. you get stickers?

I've never gotten one in Missouri...

3. Good for you...I would love to see the people in Florida march on

Jeb Bush and insist that you get paper trails...

4. a "wifebeater" sticker

someone on a different thread talked about the "wifebeater" question -- How often do you beat your wife?

Isn't it funny that the election office thought they would get everyone who votes to approve of voting by black box with a clever sticker.

6. That is just blatant Jeb propaganda

so that people will be more accepting of touch-screens come November. :mad: I voted via optical scanner, so my sticker just says "I voted".

7. They may as well hand out truthful stickers:

I voted today
on touchscreens

The hackability is so modern,
so excellent,
I may never know if my vote counted.

8. I voted in Palm Beach County today and those poll workers have no

sense of humor. When I handed the guy my card after voting and told him to make sure my vote got counted, he was pissed. Must have been a Repub.

Also, I was speaking with a woman passing out candidate flyers in the parking lot and she said that a woman tore up her flyer because she won't vote for anyone who doesn't have their religious affiliation on their literature. Is this scary, or what???

There were only a few people voting, but the old guys tending the lines said that it had been busy all day.

Hope everyone votes that bitch LaPore out of office - but she's running this election - so what do you think the chances are of that happening?

10. Things are going well in Alachua Co.

the folks at the poll said they had a steady stream all day. We are mostly Democratic around here, so that is good.

Plus we had a pretty full ballot.

We use paper ballots and optical scanners. When they handed me my ballot, I said fairly loud, "Gee, a paper ballot, what a concept". I got a chuckle from a few people.

15. I'm in Alachua here also...glad Roy is winning School board...

16. Got a link for local results?

How's it going for Supervisor of Elections? A friend of mine is running.

12. You could cut off the word "Touchscreen"

and just wear "I voted." :hi:

[question everything]

13. Voted for what, or for whom? Was it a special election or what?

Florida had its primaries last February, I thought, and then it is going to vote with the rest of us in the November general elections, is it?

[Dudley_DUright]

14. Nope, senate primaries today

You can see the results here:

17. I got my "I Voted" Sticker

I live in Broward and instead of voting by touchscreen-I voted absentee. The sticker was mailed with the ballot.
I encourage everyone who has touchscreen voting, to vote absentee.
