Rick Scott promised a "bare knuckle brawl" for the 2012 election, days after taking office. It was the first time in our state's history a sitting governor ever used threats of violence to describe his feelings for half the citizens. The warnings were all in the book Rick Scott: Enemy of the State, on amazon.

Florida, get Rick Scott out as soon as possible. It is so obvious what he is doing, file a complaint with the Federal Government on Ethical procedures and the right to vote. Even if you are a REpublican, remember this could be a close friend or family member who wants to vote Democratic and is being suppressed. Remember it could easily be you down the road.

Art Levine at the Huffington Post writes:
Ohio-based Free Press editor-in-chief Robert Fitrakis, also a Green Party candidate for Congress, announced plans to file a lawsuit later today seeking an immediate injunction against Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted and the ES&S manufacturer to halt the use of secretly installed, unauthorized "experimental" software in 39 counties' tabulators in an alleged violation of state election law. His attorney, Cliff Arnebeck, has also referred the case to the Cincinnati FBI for a criminal investigation. Arnebeck says, "It's a flagrant violation of the law. Before you add new software, you need approval of a state board. They are installing an uncertified, suspect software patch that interfaces between the a county's vote tabulation equipment and state tabulators."

Excuse me, early voting isn't something only democrats use.
If YOU have to wait in line so do I, even if I vote a straight right ricket.
Don't make this a party thing... this is typical government crap, practiced by both sides, to squelch the voices of the people. They all want the power our money gives them. So long as there are two parties there are two sides to endlessly suck us dry with no regard to the future.

To "B" @ #5:
From the article above:
"The Palm Beach Post also notes: 'The attempt to hold down Democratic turnout is obvious. In prior years, more Democrats than Republicans have taken advantage of early voting.' "
No critic of Scott, or any other well-documented (but not prosecuted) democracy-destroyers in Florida government ever said their election fraud tactics effect only Democrats. That level of selectivity is impossible. BUT they do play the percentages and are willing to sacrifice YOUR vote, if they calculate, by so doing, they will simultaneously prevent 3 Democratic votes.
Don't play the fool and don't treat us as such.

to John Puma @ #6:
When honesty is foolishness there is a real problem with our country.
If you claim that only republicans are trying to suppress the opposition voice then you're truly a kool-aid drinker.
Incredible. I look on the links at the right side of the page and see 40 articles about how republicans are evil, manipulative, and corrupt. There isn't a single democrat in there having their backside dragged over the coals. There is an article claiming romney bought food for people attending his rally to donate. Does it matter? Do you think somebody that's hungry cares? Might as well turn away non-union linemen too... oh, nevermind, that already happened.
Naturally based on the content linked here we can assume that everybody commenting has a very balanced view.

Secretary of State, Ken Detzner needs a reality check. Jeb issued executive orders to extend voting hours as did Charlie Crist. Ken is another Katherine Harris, not for the people but for himself and his party. I will be happy to see the crooks gone. Rick Scott needs to be in Jail.

These guys need to be arrested. Why are they above federal election rules? Somebody should walk right into Rick Scott's office, arrest him, and try him in federal court.

I believe everything published made a ton of sense.
But, what about this? suppose you were to create a awesome post title?
I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added a headline that makes people desire more? I mean | FL Gov. Rick Scott Refuses to Extend Days for Early Voting Despite Hours Long Lines is kinda boring. You could peek at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create article headlines to get people to open
the links. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab readers interested about what you've got to say. In my opinion, it would make your website a little bit more interesting.

Rick Scott is a criminal and needs to be impeached.
