Because that’s how Diebold will vote. But that’s just my tin foil hat, I guess.

My county uses mark/sense ballots and scanners, but several counties in south Florida use touch screen DREs from multiple vendors. I think we are moving to the mark/sense for the whole state after the mess following the 2006 election.

It’s unclear how the change in the primary affects the local offices because many of the charters specifically say March. It’s a mess, which is normal for Florida election law. The other problem is that they will try to sneak in propositions/initiatives with the primary, so we could end up with bad law as well as no voice in the nomination process.

There’s nothing like a low turn out election to promote mischief.

City election – Nov. 2007
Presidential Primary – Feb 2008
Statewide – June 2008
Presidential/General – Nov 2008

What are the odds that folks afraid to go out in the rain to vote will be making all four.
