"That is why there are so many scams against the elderly. The elderly are constant targets of those who would take advantage of them, and steal from them" Be serious. How are you suggesting that a ballot card designed by a democrat and approved by both parties is a scam against the elderly? The card was designed to make it EASIER for them. If it caused a higher number of older people to make a mistake, then it should be corrected next time. Voting is SERIOUS. It looks to me like a fairly high percentage of people in Palm county did not take it seriously enough to double check their ballot cards. Could cost them big time, and I bet they will look closer next time. Again, you cannot have a FAIR revote with such a small percentage of the population deciding the outcome for a nation. Voting was day before yesterday. Count the F'ing votes, declare a winner, and lets get back to business. p.s. - I have spoken up for the elderly a few times on this thread. I have tried to separate "old" and "stupid". People who MAY have checked the wrong box are not necesarily old, but an argument could be made for stupid, although it was probably more a case of being careless.
