1. well, it was discovered by spaniards in the 1500s.
st augustine, its oldest city, is also the oldest city in america. currently, florida is home to a large number of hispanics, elderly, and urbanites. it also has vast swamplands, and copious beaches.

is that enough of the story on florida?

9. Actually, Fernandina Beach says they are the first settlement in Florida
It has been a long standing dispute between the two city's!

For what it is worth.

Nice gester with the humor, takes the edge off.

8. I don't think early votes are in those totals.
I'm not sure, but I've heard that 1.6 million absentee votes are not included. I'm sure that that many didn't mail in ballots; it must be the absentee plus early votes that total 1.6 million.

11. Early votes are not included in the totals until everything else has....
...been counted. That also includes absentee votes.

By the way, early voting in Florida was 56% Kerry to 39% Bush.

it was grossly insensitive of me to wish for year round hurricanes if Jebby delivers his subjects to the goddamn thief again.
My sincere apologies to SANE Floridians

18. So again, nobody has a real answer with links.
Just a lot of jokes and pontificating. Do we know what has been counted and what still needs to be counted? Anyone?
