Florida Election Results: How concerned should we be?

By funmaxus | January 30, 2008

According to Florida voter registration and turnout:  3,849,892 votes were cast.

Adding the Democratic and Republican votes cast we have 3,453,073 votes, a difference of 396,819 votes.

Removing: Broward, Madison, Monroe and Orange Counties from the total vote we have 3,146,257 votes cast. A difference of 703,635 votes cast.

Please review each of the following “official” State of Florida websites.

Florida voter registration and turnout: http://election.dos.state.fl.us/elections/resultsarchive/enight.asp  

Republican turnout: http://election.dos.state.fl.us/elections/resultsarchive/enight.asp  

Democratic Turnout: http://election.dos.state.fl.us/elections/resultsarchive/enight.asp 

Note: that the results are “Unofficial Election Night Returns (may not include absentee or provisional ballots)”

Note that the Florida Voter Registration and Turnout shows Broward, Madison and Monroe counties had zero voters appear in the election.  However the Republican and Democratic turnout does show voters.

Orange County on both the Democratic and Republican totals is zero, but the election night returns shows that 209,524 votes were cast out of 508,185 registered voters. We just don’t know who voted for the individual candidates.

I then created a spreadsheet.  See attached.

Not one county in the entire state shows a matching total. Using the below math:

(Democratic Voter Turnout + Republican Voter Turnout) – Florida Voter Registration Turnout, yields the following numbers:

According to Florida voter registration and turnout:  3,849,892 votes were cast.

Adding the Democratic and Republican votes cast we have 3,453,073 votes, a difference of 396,819 votes.

Removing: Broward, Madison, Monroe and Orange Counties from the total vote we have 3,146,257 votes cast. A difference of 703,635 votes cast.

A sample of the worst offenders: Miami-Dade: 66,655, Palm Beach:  49,058, Pinellas: 39,223, Hillsborough: 29,745 Collier: 23,846, Lee:   23,504 Brevard: 19,757 Sarasota: 18,895, Duval: 18,486 Volusia:        17,088 Pasco: 16,417 Seminole: 13,592

Question: Why is there a difference in the vote? Did people show up to vote, and their vote didn’t count according to the “official” state of Florida website results or did they decide not to vote for a candidate at all? Could someone answer this mystery?

    There were some stories of people that were not a D or an R and they could not vote. Also, some of the voting sites had the voter info wrong too. Other that that we can chalk it up to the FRAUD voting machines.

    Let’s check into this interesting “tid bit”. Has anyone contacted blackboxvoting.org? Bev Harris.

    Funny how there are computers that can simulate a nuclear explosion, yet these machines can’t count votes properly. A lot of people think that the machines are vulnerable through hacking the memory cards. These machines are programmed to skew the vote, making almost impossible to trace

    the worst part about this is that there is no way to tell how the votes were skewed if at all, due to the votes being cast on an electronic voting machine, this is really disgusting. Even if there is a data entry error from some college student or something like that. You would think that the numbers would be checked 3-4 times just to ensure the correct numbers were being reported considering the travesty that took place in 2000.
    This is utterly disgusting. I do realize that there were some problems with the machines yet this is just disgusting!!

    Why do you think you are using electronic voting machines in the first place? PLEASE! This is a complete joke. Democracy, what democracy? Absolutely ridiculous. Electronic voting machines are used for one reason and one reason only - to cheat.

    I have often cast a ballot with no vote. I do that when I don’t like any of the candidates. I just want the government to know that I do vote, but not for the lesser of two evils.

    The Bilderbergers are good at this. They continue to shape and form exactly what Rockefeller instructs them to.
    Until we American citizens abolish the Federal Reserve and the IRS (International Racketeering Scum), all this don’t mean shit! The voting, the primaries, the debates, the MSM and Newspapers shunning Ron Paul, it’s all just to keep us entertained and watching something other than our own money.
    Until we control our own monetary system, nothing else matters.
    The issuing of money should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
    Free people cannot control their own destiny unless they control their own currency. The Federal Reserve must be abolished.
    Nothing else means anything, they are the cause and abolishing them is the cure for prosperity in the USA, anything short is a continuing down fall of what we once cared about and loved.
    Ron Paul has a huge elephant to face, but let’s keep telling everyone we speak with and educate them. Keep in mind that we Ron Paul supporters would be far more helpful if we take part in town meetings, start up meetings, neighbor hood events handing out literature for his campaign. The internet is only one place, lets expand this knowledge and expose the truth about the Federal Reserve (International Private Bankers) and why we let them control our destiny. Fix the money problem and everything else goes away.

    Hand count the votes, videotape the count, put it online.

    Until then, the numbers don’t mean much.

    You cannot hand count votes cast and recorded on computers without any paper ballot (as done in Florida, even though they’ve decided these machines are not credible and they are still using them for this election cycle).

    After some additional research, I’ve concluded that a rational explanation can be atributed to Florida’s Closed Primary election rules. I’ve read the arguments for Open and Closed primaries and respect both positions, however I believe that a person is a citizen, and has legally complied with their duties, should be allowed to vote. The following is from the State of Florida regarding the Closed primary.
    http://election.dos.state.fl.u.....l#3votereg
    Party Affiliation
    Since Florida is a closed primary state, only voters who are registered members of the two major political parties (Republicans and Democrats) may vote for their respective party’s candidates in a primary election. Registered minor political party voters and voters without party affiliation are not eligible to vote for major party candidates in a primary election. However, a constitutional amendment adopted in 1998 states that IF all candidates for an office have the same party affiliation and the winner will have no opposition in the general election, all qualified voters, regardless of party affiliation, may vote in the primary election for that office. (See art. VI, s.5 of the Florida Constitution). Party changes must be made by the end of the 29th day before the Primary Election.
    Florida Just Can’t Get an Election Right http://news.aol.com/political-.....ion-right/ ” In Florida, only those who declare a party are allowed to cast a vote in that party’s presidential primary. Nirenberg said he tried to explain to the poll worker that he should not vote on a party ballot because of his “no party affiliation” status. Nirenberg said a second poll worker was called over who agreed that independents should not use party ballots, but said they had received instructions to the contrary. “He said, ‘Ya know, that is kind of funny, but it was what we were told.’ … I was shocked when they told me that.” Nirenberg said he went ahead and voted for John McCain.”

    Yet in Bush v. Gore (2000), the Supreme Court stated that there was no constitutional right to vote in presidential elections because the Constitution, in creating the Electoral College, left it up to the states regarding how electors would be chosen. What all these decisions suggest then is that the constitutional right to vote is highly qualified, resting more in what states cannot do regarding discrimination against specific individuals than in affirmatively granting a right to vote. http://www.answers.com/topic/right-to-vote-1

Florida joins 26 other states using a closed primary system, 19 states including our neighbors to the north, Alabama and Georgia, allow independents to vote in their primaries. The state has 4.1 million registered Democrats and 3.8 million registered Republicans. ”

    Possibly, I’m not understanding your data correctly, but let me explain how Floriduh voted this primary. Voters were given one of three ballots. Registered Dems were given a ballot with a list of Dem candidates and a Amendment 1 vote, yes or no. Republicans were given a ballot with the Repubs’ candidates and the Amendment 1 selection. Independents, including other party registrations, were given a ballot with only the Amendment 1 selection. Maybe this explains the discrepancy of total voters and Dem-Rep voters. Again, maybe I’m not understanding your argument. Either way it doesn’t assure me that the final tabulation accurately refects voter intent. One has to wonder how many votes these machines skimmed off Ron Paul’s bin (and others’) and given to the warmonger McManchurian Man.
