Link below and some excerpts. It seems like the GOP here knows how to spend $'s to rig an election.

"Florida Gov. Rick Scott has been dead serious about cleaning up Florida's elections. First, he targeted 180,000 suspected ineligible voters to strike from the rolls (though he ended up eliminating only 200 after the Department of Justice stepped in). Then, he severely restricted voter registration and reduced early voting.
Yet strangely, the guv hasn't lifted a single finger to stop the one crime that's really threatening the November election: absentee-ballot fraud. In Miami-Dade County, five losing candidates in the August primaries have filed lawsuits alleging ballot hanky-panky, and two Hialeah ballot collectors or boleteros have been arrested.
---snip--
Now there's new evidence that Scott used boleteros in Dade. Records show the governor paid $5,000 to Emelina Llanes, a 74-year-old Hialeah resident identified as a boletera by former Hialeah Police Chief Rolando Bolaños and city firefighter Eric Johnson. Scott's campaign reports say the money was for "contract labor."

(1,372 posts)I think there needs to be a blanket judgement about all this voter blocking.
I also, think that the Repukes that are creating all these problems need to get tagged with
some sort of fraud - interfering with or obstructing the voting process.
You have Repubs reporting to repubs reporting to repubs -
Isn't this some sort of conflict of interest?
They still trust these idiots to run an honest election when there
have been problems for the past few elections - consistently.
And thet idiot from Wisconson who keeps screwing up the process-
has she been replaced - at least - or is she still doing the same job?
Haw can they allow this to go on and on and on!
