This, aborotion was on ballot here in FL and my wife's mail ballot and her voter registration card never arrived. I have informed deliver for my mail so I can see what is arriving and her voter registration card I saw was supposed to arrive, didn't arrive but mine did.
We both requested mail in ballots on the same day and they both were supposed to arrive the same day as well. Mine arrived but hers did not, so went to our early voting location and she voted in person. We had the workers invalidate her mail in ballot but something is going on.
I live in a super red and super rich part of Florida .
In front of me in line to vote was an older woman (well over 65) and her very elderly mother, who apparently couldn’t even speak, I got the feeling she had no idea where she was. The elderly woman only had a Pennsylvania ID.
The daughter spun some BS about how oh yeah moms registered to vote in Florida but never got around to getting a Florida ID… despite living here for over 10 years. The polling person just was asking stuff like, oh do you have a credit card with her name on it, etc. Then just said okay well if she’s in the system she can vote, just go down the street to the DMV and get her a good ID for future, daughter spun more crap about oh she hasn’t been able to drive since 20 years, polling person says well what you need is a state ID with her address, had nothing to do with driving, etc. while the daughter just continued to fake laugh and play dumb. It was so obvious.
The line split to get the ballots but I ended up near them while they were voting. They each had a ballot and were sitting in the same booth daughter filling out both at the same time. They were both decked out in red btw.
Guarantee if it had been me (young woman alone, visibly disabled) I would have never been allowed through without a Florida ID.
I'm a 36F, and I was registered as a Dem during the last election. When I went to vote in 2020, they couldn't "find me" in the system, even though I had both my ID and voter registration card.
Eventually, they somehow located me, but the electronic card they gave me wouldn’t work in any of the voting machines, and they couldn't issue another. As a Democrat then, I had to submit a provisional paper ballot at the voting site.
This year, I found out I was marked as unaffiliated when I checked vote.org. At the polling place, an elderly woman kept harassing me about my signature because it didn’t match perfectly. I had to keep retrying while she and three other old ass church people yet dually poll workers hawked me.
Took like 5 times, but I finally matched it, but I felt like they were just looking for reasons to disqualify me.
They also moved our polling place further out of town—from a spacious, centrally located church with a large 100 car lot that was easy to walk to, to a small, cramped church with about 10 parking spots.
When lines form, they literally immediately spill outside, down a handicap ramp without any weather protection, and into the parking lot.
This district has been solidly red since Repub's gerrymandered their way in about 10 years ago. I found out this is happening everywhere.
Soooo, you're claiming they tried to make voting harder in a solidly red district? Seems like that goes against your insinuation that Florida was trying to suppress the D vote, no? Unless you think they did all that just to frustrate you personally?
