Randi mentioned on-air that she has not received her voter registration card from the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections. She said that she filed for one some months back, when she returned to Florida, but has yet to receive it.

I placed a phone call to State Representative Shelly Vana (for whom I think Randi lives in her district), a very good friend of mine for whom I used to beg for cash with on PBS in WPB, so hopefully the wheels may be greased into turning soon.

Anyone picked up this story? The girl needs to vote!

She talked about it Friday. She turned her information card in, and got no response back. The crunch is on and she is putting the pressure on them, being Florida, you know.

It's strange actually. In Florida you appear to have to register twice ...............

From the Volusia county voter registration website http://volusia.org/elections/reginfo.htm

Once you have completed the voter registration application, mail it to the Volusia County Department of Elections at 125 West New York Avenue, DeLand, FL 32720-5415. You may also drop off your application at any public library in Volusia County or any Supervisor of Elections office within the State of Florida.

After it has been determined by the State of Florida that your application meets the requirements in Florida law, a voter information card will be mailed to you.

If this is a new registration application, the date the completed application is postmarked or hand delivered to a driver’s license office, a voter registration agency, an armed forces recruitment office, the Division of Elections, or any Supervisor of Elections office in the State will be your registration date. If this is a new Florida application, you must be registered at least 29 days before you can vote in an election. If your application is complete and you are qualified as a voter, a voter information card will be mailed to you.

Shelly won't be able to do anything about it. Besides, Shelly is busy running for county commission district 3. The supervisor of elections is a constitutional office. Only the governor can remove him and the secretary of state could take over the office. I am very worried about November.

Somebody has got to put a stop to this upending of democracy by these corrupt scumbags in state offices in Florida. Has Randi tried going into the office and demanding they register her? In my county I was able to do it in person and get the card while standing there. However, some counties may require mailing perhaps. She should walk in there in person and straighten this out. And people need to make the press aware how pervasive this fraud is and not stand for it. If there is something I can do to help, I will.

I am in the database business and have been helping many local dem candidates. I get a new disc from the secretary of state's office every month with the new voter file. I checked for Randi and she is definitely registered. Oddly, her register date is listed as 8/7/2000. I got this file from the state yesterday.

She was registered in NY in the interim when she lived there and has re-registered in Fla because she recently moved back.

Looks like "somebody" lost her registration.

She said if she didn't get it soon she was going to take her live show to the registrar's office.

Looks like she should get ready to take the show on the road.

Her registration isn't lost. She is listed as an active voter in the state records. What bothers me is that if she re-registered, her registration date should be listed as 2008, not 2000. It appears they never removed her from the file to begin with.

she had best make very sure and get them to get her a new card, regardless of all that; she should march into that office and make sure they don't do any monkey business. I have had it with Florida.

We don't use those registration cards at the polls anyway. We have to show photo ID. She is indeed on the rolls and listed as active. If she was inactive, that would pose a problem.

You have had it with Florida? I live in Palm Beach County. How do you think I feel? banghead.gif

Could they use the fact that she voted in NY for several years as a basis for challenging her voter registration in FLA?

She should be fine as long as she is domiciled back here in Florida which, unless they are living under a rock, it was national news that she is back in Florida and as long as she doesn't vote in both places. (which she won't, I am sure...)

She should, just to be on the safe side, go down there and have them figure out what is going on and why she didn't receive her card. But as far as I can see, they have her as an active registered voter here in Palm Beach County.

My Republican mother, who doesn't drive any more, was spouting off about how demanding photo IDs would keep the "illegals" from voting. I asked her if she had a current photo ID. She realized that she didn't as she has let her driver's license laps. I told her that if she lived in Florida she would not be allowed to vote.

It never occured to her that the photo ID requirement could backfire on the elderly. In her case I am all for it if there is one less McCain vote this election.

She can always vote absentee ballot. It is the same ballot she would get at the polls. (at least in Palm Beach it is...) I recommend voting absentee - the polls will be a nightmare in November.

Mom doesn't live in Florida. She lives in a white area in New England so there will be plenty of voting booths and no ID checks.

Any poll in a black or multi-racial area precinct will probably a nightmare during this election with long lines and voter challenges (caging).

Plus, let's face it if Randi knows the laws, she will follow through with this. I'm glad I don't live in Fla. Of course, I came from NM and I saw first hand how they try to minimize the Hispanic vote for their own freaky gain, and that was during Clinton. I shudder to think what they do since I moved away. Here in IL I've helped countless Hispanics register because I'm Bi-Lingual, and you can see the anger in the pollsters eyes when an amigo tries to legally vote, and we're considered Liberal here, unless you live in Lick Your Ass, Illinois. Then you're only good enough to pick corn, or clean up horse shit, if you are Hispanic. I welcome all assholes to try to challenge me and my amigos. !!Yo encanto mis amigos Mexicanos!!

I remember the games they played in NM. Despicable. There will be plenty of vote suppression going on in the minority communities. We need as many poll watchers in those communities as possible. We are also recommending that people bring video cameras and stand 100 feet from the door and interview people who had problems. Palast wants the video.

Well, of course Randi Rhodes can't vote in Jeb Bush's state of Florida--Randi is a Democrat, and Democrats can't vote there (remember Tallyhassle, Florida in 2008?....I heard that they even hung a fellow named Chad for trying to vote there. . . hanging Chads). LOL
JohnGotti
Randi can't vote, but Ann Coulter can commit vote fraud!

She wrote 999 Indian Rd on her voter registration card but that is her realtors address!

Her address is 242 Seabreeze Ave in Palm Beach

Jeb is not the governor anymore! Charlie Crist is! Not much of an improvement!
