Voter Suppression and Irregularities (Touchscreen
switching votes, touchscreen defaults, glitches and freezeups;
broken machines, too few
machines in minority precincts, long lines, widespread polling place changes in
minority precincts
with inadequate notice and
education, improper voter roll purges and identification problems, widespread systematic dirty tricks
in minority precincts to
cause minorities to vote in wrong precinct and lose their vote, student voting
problems, malfeasance and/or
misfeasance by officials or poll
workers regarding correct polling places and election rights, malfeasance
and/or misfeasance
regarding registrations,
absentee ballots, and provisional ballots.
Resulting in as much as 45,000
lost votes or misvotes.

Registration
problems and Provisional voting problems
http://www.flcv.com/daderpp.html
Apparently,
thousands filled out registration forms that were
not turned in by county agencies such as DMV or other volunteer
organizations or were not processed by the
Supervisor of Elections Office;
there was widespread late polling place
changes, lack of adequate notification and help by officials and poll workers
in advising
voters of the proper polling place, large scale
apparently improper voter roll purges, systematic dirty tricks by party
activists, lack of
uniformity and apparent bias in application of
identification requirements and rulings, too few machines, machine problems,
and
polling place problems, etc. that appear to
have prevented thousands of mostly minority voters from voting or having their
vote counted.
(2/3
of provisional votes were rejected; apparently in large part due to official or
poll worker malfeasance or misfeasance related to registration
problems or polling
place identification problems- which should not be a problem given current
computer technology)
dealing with thousands of absentee ballots; plus other
documentation and Hearing testimony)
http://www.flcv.com/dadeab.html
Apparent Bias, Misfeasance,
or Malfeasance re: absentees;
thousands who
requested absentee ballots failed to
receive them in time to vote and irregularities
in distribution, instructions, election day voting for those who did
not receive their absentee ballot and tried to
vote.
EP Hearing (affidavit) , Jeane-Andre
Janveir, There were not enough
machines in the 10 to 15 precincts of Little Hatii to allow all voters to be
able to vote.
EP Hearing (affidavit), Marie Cadet, Some poll workers intimidate Creole
voters and didn’t
allow some to vote.
EP Hearing (affidavit), Hannibal Rosa, Many were asked for
ID even though they had their voter card.
There was lack of facilities for disabled voters.
EP Hearing (affidavit), Hoyt Sexton, NAACP, Thousands of voters signed
registration cards but were not on the roles, especially in minority precincts
and Little
Pinecrest and
EP Hearing (affidavit), Rose Assinte, Many creole
voters were not allowed to vote. Some
didn’t
know how to use the machines and didn’t get help.
Many could not read the ballots they were
provided.
EP Hearing (affidavit), Jeffrey Fleisher, People need to know where to go to
vote. This was a big problem. There were no facilities for handicapped
voting in some areas. The line was a mile long at West Kendall
Library on 10/31 and took 4 hours.
EP Hearing (affidavit), Muslima Lewis,
early voting
lines were so long I was turned away.
Need to fix the provisional vote problem. Votes should be
counted if the voter is an eligible voter.
EP Hearing (affidavit), Branford Broon,
NAACP, Dade had many problems with minorities being able to register
and get voter card. Voting was a very
difficult process for those who did not get
their card. Many did not get requested absentee ballots. Lines were longer in minority areas including
early voting.
Non-partisan helpers should be allowed in
polls to give assistance to voters since poll workers don’t provide enough help. An audit trail is needed.
EP Hearing (affidavit), Mary Peeler, NAACP, The NAACP received many complaints of many people in Florida not allowed to vote- many unable to get absentee ballots,
people refused provisional ballots incorrectly, because of long lines in early voting due to not enough sites and not enough
workers, by improper exclusion
of those without IDs at poll, and by non-uniform policy regarding provisional
ballots.
EP Hearing (affidavit),
Randall Marshall, ACLU,
Thousands of voters were affected by problems getting absentee
ballots in
Also large numbers
were denied their right to vote by poll workers improperly not letting those
who had requested absentee ballots but never
got them or didn’t choose to use them from
voting using a provisional ballot.
Beverlye Neal, State NAACP, many thousands had been purged from the voter roles improperly and have not had their registrations restored. There were
long
lines in early voting and long lines in minority precincts. Not enough working
machines or workers.
EP Hearing (affidavit), Steve Showen, Since
Florida has eliminated runoff elections, we need Instant Runoff Voting(IRV) to
improve the situation.
It provides many advantages to the public and more
democratically determined results and has been used in many cities
successfully, such as in
EP
