Sam - A couple comments on the points you brought up: I just heard this morning that a Democrat running for a local office in Seminole testified that he had asked the election board supervisor if he could either correct ballot applications from his supporters or take them back to the people to correct, but was told by the same woman who allowed the Republicans to correct their applications that once the applications were in her office, they couldn't be changed. The case you mention might be in this article: washingtonpost.com Democrat Dean Ray, a frequent candidate for office in Seminole County, testified that he had been prohibited by Goard from making corrections to voter identification numbers on his petition to run for county commissioner. He said he thought some names had been rejected because they lacked such a number. "You tried to get those back for the purpose of correcting them?" Richman asked. "That's correct," Hall replied. And in conjunction with (couldn't they read the directions, as the Republicans say of the Palm Beach voters who unwittingly voted for Buchanan or who voted for two candidates? but nevermind) It could be argued that the cases aren't identical in that the Republican ballot requests were preprinted, but with the wrong numbers in the voter id box. So presumably they did follow the instructions (most likely "sign on the line and return"). In the other instance I assume it was a case of voter negligence that the candidate wanted to correct.
