The Local Puppy Trainer provides some public service for the Supervisor of Elections in their piece: Voters warned of fraudulent supervisor of elections letter.

It would appear that some voters [cough Dems cough] are receiving fraudulent letters claiming to be from election officials that promise dire circumstances if the voter doesn’t respond within two weeks. If you receive one of these letters the election people would like you to take it and the envelop it came in to your local supervisor of elections.

This is probably a voter caging scheme to challenge people at the polls. The Republicans have been doing this crap for years.

I would like to correct an Internet misconception – Rmoney’s airship didn’t crash, Romney Blimp Makes Emergency Landing In Davie Field.

The pilot did the best thing he could do in a blimp facing strong headwinds, he got it down to the ground safely so it wouldn’t crash. It wasn’t at a recognized airport, so it was an ’emergency landing’. Winds are a problem for any balloon, even those with engines.

Susie Madrak noticed a piece about the changes the Fraudster-in-chief has made to the Florida unemployment insurance system. Basically, the Republicans have made it more difficult to get the benefits than it is to register to vote. The system is in the red by almost $3 billion and they cut the rates. Republicans just can’t handle money.
