The Great Bus Caper!
I no I've posted this somewhere else before, I just can't remember where.
The following is a personal account. I have witnessed this with my own eyes and have other individuals that can corroborate all facts presented. While the evidence I have is only for my local area I am certain that this happens all over this state and this country.
It is a common practice for welfare recipients to be "taught" the art of obtaining multiple ID's for the primary purpose of getting multiple welfare checks and other benefits. One local family bragged of having put 3 daughters through the University of Florida on the welfare monies they got.
All of this largess comes at a price however...at election time these WR's are gathered in buses and carted around from precinct to precicnt to cast their vote for the democratic candidate. Many of these WR's have 5 or more ID's. It makes it very difficult for nonDemocratic candidates to prevail, especially in the lower income districts. It is also not uncommon for a Democratic candidate to contest a close win by a Republican.
Only recently have the Republicans been able to consistantly motivate their base to get out and vote in sufficient numbers to begin overcoming the built up advantage this "busing" system generates.
Coincidentally, the fiasco in WPB County started as a result of an error in the instructions to one of these "bus groups". It seems that many of the riders are illiterate and so are told to vote for the "second position" or "punch slot number 2" as was the case in WPB. Unfortunately the Democratic candidate was in "hole #3"...the rest you already know.
