On-Line Voter Registration

So Zero’s minions sent me an e-mail to tell me that they have a ‘great tool’ that will allow people to register to vote on-line. Apparently they believe that the code they want me to embed will work everywhere, and they will get the hits from people using it to boost their numbers.

It doesn’t work that way in Florida, and given the state’s record with IT projects, even if it supposedly did, I wouldn’t recommend that anyone use it.

What you can get on-line is the state’s standard form for registration. They tell you that you can fill it out on-line, but you still have to download and print out the form, because you have to sign it, and you can’t do that on-line. Actually, I wouldn’t fill out anything at a site controlled by our fraudster-in-chief, because they will probably do something stupid with the data that is collected.

If you have a Florida drivers license or ID card, you can fill out the form, sign it, and then take it or mail it to your county supervisor of elections. You must register at least a month before an election.

When you sign the form you are acknowledging the following:

If the information on the application is not true, the applicant can be convicted of a felony of the third degree and fined up to $5,000 and/or imprisoned for up to 5 years.

I don’t have a problem with that except that it should be applied equally to the information provided by the candidates for public office in the state. When they lie and get caught, they get to ‘correct and amend the form’ or simply ignore the facts and continue to lie.
