Weird Voting Stories

November 5th, 2008 by Leonard Birdsong


As Birdsong writes this post the polls in many places in the country are still open for a few more hours.  Perhaps, by the time you read this we will know who will be our new President.  Meanwhile Birdsong thought you might get a chuckle from a few weird voting stories he came across on election day, 2008.

Pasco County, FL: The elections supervisor in Pasco rejected a request from a local nudist resort to erect clothing-optional polling booth for their community.  Supervisor Brian Corley said that even though state law does not preclude nude voting, there is not enough time to consider and act on the request this year.

So….Vote today…but get dressed first!

Miami, FL: The polls here opened at 7 am.  It was not much later that a number of would be voters complained because they  discovered that they had been given ballots that listed no Presidential candidates.

Ooooppps!  hard to have Presidential race with no one to vote for.
