Dozens of Broward Residents Get Extra Ballots by Mail
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Dozens of Broward County residents, including the mayor, are reporting they received extra ballots for next month's mail-in election in four cities in the latest misstep for county Elections Supervisor Miriam Oliphant, officials said.

County officials suspect the errors are the result of Oliphant's failure to clean up the voter registration roll every other year as required under state law. They believe thousands of people who have moved, have died or are in prison pack the county's list of 1 million voters.

Oliphant's office is in the process of mailing out 100,000 ballots for the Nov. 4 election to voters in Southwest Ranches, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach and two neighborhoods near Cooper City.

Southwest Ranches Town Administrator John Canada said the town received about a dozen phone calls from people who didn't know what to do with the extra ballots. It was unclear exactly how many extra ballots were sent out.

2. The Elections Supervisor in Broward County is actually a Democrat
With incompetant Democrats like her, who needs Republicans?

3. Florida doesn't even deserve to be a state
It should be annexed and made into the extreme southern portion of New York.

Hell, they should call it Old York, due to the number of NY retirees who live there.
