Florida Voters

I keep reading that Florida's "closed" primary was wide open and that 3% of registered Democrats voted for Republicans. I don't care to go into conspiracy mode - that's not even what I'm getting at - it's the incompetence and continued uselessness of the poll workers who do not understand how their own system works. Does it matter? Well, it's probably just enough to give McCain the win over Romney.

That's another failure for Florida Voters. Surprise, surprise.

The idea here is that you register 29 days ahead of time - with party affiliation. If you're a Florida Democrat - too bad your votes don't count for President, until Hillary takes them - (OneF and I have discussed this one already)...
....and then you're only supposed to get a ballot for the team you've decided to vote for. But why would they? Why not vote for Huckabee to mess with all the Republicans? The Florida Democrats were supposed to vote on their ballot because there were important local elections that did matter and still counted.

The three stories (here's one) I've read about this, already, seems to show that poll workers let anybody into the booth to do whatever they wanted. Again, that's not fraud, it's incompetence.

Why make rules so complicated that no one understands them or is capable of enforcing them?
Way to go Florida. You're definitely keeping the banana in the Republic!
