Voting Errors in Florida

Shocked! So Shocked! I am Shocked! I Am Very Shocked!

The Miami Herald reports about the troubles.

In related news, or maybe unrelated, or maybe related-- we do not know how the Clintons won... but the Clintons won Florida.

Voters who voted early supported the Clintons. Voters who voted closer to the deadline voted for Obama.

Well, this goes back to your earlier post about Michigan and Florida.

As Jon Stewart said last night, it is kinda surreal that the Dems, knowing that in all likelihood they will need three of the Big Four swing states (Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Michigan), would nevertheless privilege tradition and small-state lionization to such an extent that they would take away the delegates, and pressure the candidates into swearing off fighting for those states in the primary.

No matter which frontrunner ye prefer, it would have been valuable to know how Michigan and Florida would have responded to Obama and Clinton had they spent the kind of time and money there that McCain and Romney did.
