28. We Just Got Knocked Down Here In Sarasota County... No Paper
ballots referendum on the upcoming election. Just the same old machines,. Seems there was something wrong with the "wording" of the petitions we had people sign.... sooooooooo now it's in litigation!

Went to a meeting of Democrats last Saturday and one of the County Commissioners was there, Jon Thaxton (R) we don't have any Dems, and he said even though he thought we SHOULD have paper ballots he couldn't vote to put it on the ballot because there was something illegal in the wording. He also went on to say that he had never seen so many signatures gathered in such a short time, still it a NO GO!!

WHY they didn't tell us in the FIRST place there was something wrong with the wording is beyond me! But I can use my imagination. Sarasota is one of only 12 counties in Fl with NO PAPER BALLOTS! But then voting in Florida is risky ANYWAY!

Half the time I wonder whether they're trying to spook us into NOT voting because of fraud, thus they win when we don't vote. But then when we do vote, we don't know if our vote got counted anyway!

IT SUCKS!!
