From the Tampa Tribune, Gretchen DeMarco from Port Richey says Enough Florida Jokes:
Regarding ``Florida Flops On Election Day'' (Other Views, Sept. 21):Because that would spoil the big media agenda, Gretchen. They have a vested interest in "corrupt Florida elections".
OK, enough with the Florida voting jokes! Why not Miami- Dade and Broward County jokes?
I am a 65-year-old, computer- challenged woman and first- time poll worker. The job I was trained to do was to demonstrate how to use the iVotronic machine to the voters. Guess what? No problems! Pasco County was even the first county to report back its official results. Why? Leadership, poll-worker training and guidance.
Let's face it - there was no Florida machine problem; there was a Miami-Dade and Broward County leadership and training problem. Broward County has recognized the real problem by reorganizing and taking Miriam Oliphant out of the loop.
How about the Chicago Tribune and the rest of the country start calling it like it really is?
