More proof that Florida is just a cesspool of political corruption.
With three days left to qualify for the November ballot, supporters of a plan to revamp higher education in Florida are scrambling to replace thousands of signatures they say are missing from the Broward County elections office.
Supporters, led by U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, said Broward election workers misplaced seven boxes containing 10,000 voter signatures that the group needs to get its proposed constitutional amendment on the Nov. 5 ballot.
"They got all the boxes," said Alice Skelton, the initiative's campaign manager who said she has Federal Express receipts showing the boxes were delivered months ago.
Broward officials dispute that, saying Education Excellence for Florida didn't mail the petitions.
"We don't have those petitions. We've looked," said Mary Hall, the elections official in charge of the constitutional initiatives at the Broward supervisor's office.
Dems better find a way to fix this. Or, Floridians, you'd better throw those criminals out.
