Hello Sunshadow. Democrat's ballot requests that contained errors were allowed to pile up on the Republican Director of Election's desk. No democratic operative was allowed to correct the errors on Democrat's ballots. At the same time, Republican operatives were given republican applications that were inititally rejected because of the failure to provide certain pieces of information. Among the information that was not included was voter registration numbers. The GOP operatives were given full access to all rejected GOP ballots and made material alterations to them before resubmitting them to the Director of Elections.

washingtonpost.com In a deposition last week, Goard said she had rejected ballot requests that did not contain voter ID numbers as required by Florida law, but then approved a telephoned GOP plea to let Republican workers add those numbers to Republican applications. Goard said her office sorted out the Republican rejects so they could be revised, but left rejected Democratic and independent applications sitting in a discard box. Goard acknowledged getting a complaint from Seminole Democratic Party Chairman Bob Poe, who called around Oct. 30. She said she couldn't remember what she told him. Poe has told reporters she told him to "go fly a kite."
