The Latest FL Voting Scandal

Despite a court order to the contrary the Florida Secretary of State is putting Nader on all overseas ballots. How can she just ignore the law? Well, JEB obviously gave her the go-ahead. A FL circuit court entered a temporary injunction barring Nader from the ballot pending a hearing for a permanent injunction. But because of the hurricane, a hearing has not yet been scheduled. So the Sec State filed an appeal, which grants an automatic waiver of the temporary injunction, and mailed the ballots with Nader's name on them, despite the pendency of judicial action.

The result: possibly less votes for Kerry, and disenfranchisement for all those who vote Nader when the court makes its injunction permanent. These Republicans in FL governement know no shame. They'll exploit even the most dubious loophole to get what they want. Is that the sort of people average Republicans really want in office?
