FLORIDA COULD FIX THE ELECTION AGAIN...AND WILL, IF JEB BUSH HAS HIS WAY

``Every vote should count.''

-- Jeb Bush, upon signing into law a measure doing away with witness signatures for absentee ballots

Our governor -- what a kidder!

If we counted every vote in Florida, Jeb's brother would be spending all of his time -- and not just some of his time -- falling off his bicycle on his Texas ranch.

The only thing the bill Jeb signed Tuesday guarantees, is that Florida's elections will continue to be a joke. By taking away the witness requirement, the governor and the Legislature not only made it easier for corruption to take place -- which in itself is a fairly amazing feat -- but they have also made it more difficult to catch.

It is ''extremely unlikely'' that Florida voters in November will be able to check their machine-vote ballots against a paper printout before leaving the polls, the head of the state's election process told the Legislature on Wednesday.

But the official, Secretary of State Glenda Hood, insisted that voters have every reason to remain confident in electronic voting machines, despite rising worries across the nation that such machines are susceptible to computer hackers who could possibly alter the outcome of an election.

My native state had better wake up to the machinations of Jeb Bush, and fast. Otherwise, it won't be the people who determine the outcome of the presidential race in November, it'll be Jeb and his new Katharine Harris. And to think, Jeb was the Bush family's first choice to run for president. Well, he's proved at least one thing -- he's as unscrupulous as the rest of the clan. But you have to say one thing for them -- they don't hide all their underhanded actions; their arrogance is so great, they often come right out in the open with them. The bewildering thing is how they get away with it...or how they're ALLOWED to get away with it.

Stalin once quipped that power resides not with those who cast the votes, but with those that count them.
