After numerous reports this morning from
around the state, on various problems with polls and voting
machines, Governor Jeb Bush issued an executive order
keeping all polling places open an extra two hours.
Among the problems reported were late
opening precincts and ballots that wouldn’t scan. A major
problem has been the brand new touch screen voting machines
implemented this year after the debacle of the 2000
election. According to press reports many of them will not
start up and other rumors persist that some that did work
wouldn’t accept a vote for Charlie Crist who is running
for Attorney General. In addition, Corey Alston, the
AIF-endorsed candidate in SD 26, was left off the ballot in
a Broward County precinct.
