Florida Early Voting Begins
Early voting started today and runs until November 1st, Monday through Saturday 8:30AM to 4:30PM in Okaloosa County.
The County has two sites:
- North County: Robert L.F. Sikes Public Library on Commerce Drive in Crestview.
- South County: UF Research & Education Education Facility on the corner of Lewis Turner Blvd. and North Poquito Road.
The Supervisor of Election offices will be limited to handing out absentee ballots.
Note: I’m voting NO! on all of the constitutional amendments except 3 & 6.
Amendment 2, the marriage amendment is toxic. Don’t think that it doesn’t affect you because you aren’t gay. It is a badly worded chunk of garbage that can be put to a lot of nasty uses by an enterprising attorney or religious mental case. When you put vague and undefined phrases like “substantial equivalent” before an attorney, don’t expect they won’t use it in innovative ways.

Gee…does every State have a ‘gay bashing” proposition on the ballot this year to get out the rabid rightwing whackos?
Florida’s amendment was on the ballot before any other state, but the national media ignores the state, except when it wants to ridicule the South.
California’s measures get national exposure, but Florida gets ignored. This is why the minority party [there are more registered Dems than Reps in Florida] gets to control two-thirds of both houses of the legislature and make all the rules. The DNC does the same thing, happy to take money from Florida, but never provides any assistance.
Now you know why I’m no longer a Democrat and a very bitter ex-Democrat.
