Florida Voting Machine Broken

Written by All American Investor

It appears we are off to an interesting start at the polls here in Florida. I got into the voting line at 6:20 AM this morning. Not bad, I was fourteenth in line. When the polls opened at 7 AM there were five voting machines available for my precinct 4068. I was the second person to vote on machine number one (precinct 4066 was also open in the same room with five additional machines if you think that math looks fuzzy). As I attempted to vote the machine was already frozen.

So I was directed to the next available machine. When I was leaving the polling place I asked the person running the poll how long it was going to take to fix that machine. He just shrugged his shoulders and said "I don't know." He did not seem very concerned.

Here we go in Florida.

My name is Robert T DeMarco and I am a caregiver by choice. For those of you unfamiliar with the term "caregiver" it means someone who is responsible for the care and well-being of another, in my case, my 90-year-old mother who has Alzheimer's. There are millions of caregivers spread across the world, and perhaps surprisingly, 41% of us are male. I have a series of blogs including The Alzheimer’s Reading Room Weblog , The CareGiver Weblog , and The Robert T DeMarco Weblog .
