Johnson criticized for card redesign

The new design of Hillsborough County's voter information cards doesn't include the addresses of polling places. Instead, that detail is included on a letter outside the edges of the detachable card. That's irked some voters and state Sen. Arthenia Joyner. Joyner told Johnson at a forum on Tuesday that some people throw out the paper with the polling location on it, and then aren't sure where to vote and may not be able to go to Johnson's Web site to find out. "What does the little old lady do who doesn't own a computer?" Joyner asked Johnson. Johnson said he'd consider putting the information back on the card. Read more about it here.

This guy is a complete disaster. He doesn't have a clear thought or an explanation.

He is running a campaign on tax payers dime.

He can't answer questions without being belligerent.

Time to send Buddy back to deep frying chicken.

REPUBLICANS FOR BUSANSKY!

This is an obvious attempt to supress minority turn out on election day. But don't worry Buddy... we will remember and vote accordingly!

GO PHYLLIS!!!!

I don't think this will help. When the yard signs in Culbreath Bayou (a very conservative neighborhhod), of all places, are almost evenly split between Obama and McCain, it's a sure sign the Republicans are in deep, deep trouble!!

Let's all play "Dodge Subpeonas". Seriously, folks, there is something you can do on election evening, after the polls close, which will help keep the election honest. And that is to take a picture, preferably a video, of the optical scanner printout which will, supposedly, be posted on the door of the polling place.
Sometimes numbers get transmitted to the central tabulator incorrectly, and this is an easy way to help keep track.
Send a copy to your local DEC and to your favorite candidate. Make sure you get all the numbers from all the races, and make sure the precinct is identified.

Republican Sheriff Mike Scott, while on duty and in uniform, tried to attack Sen. Obama by using his middle name.

The McCain campaign has often critized these type of remarks but to Republican law enforcement officers in Florida, I guess it is OK.

What should we expect from these Republican law enforcement officers on election day?
