It’s election night and Central Florida had one big mother of a storm this evening. The news reporters talked about it affecting the vote. I can see how it affects turnout. Who wants to stand in line while there are tornado warnings in your area. However, I’m not clear how they determined the weather would swing the vote one way or another.
Are we to believe that Democrats may win because Republicans wouldn’t vote in a thunderstorm, or vice-versa? It may be possible. Does one party tend to vote earlier and another wait until the last couple of hours? I’m a Republican, and I voted early last Friday. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see how things shake out.
It’s no surprise that the Associated Press already declared Bill Nelson the winner for the Senate race. If the Republican party couldn’t support it’s own candidate, Katherine Harris, why should anyone else support her?
The Republicans are otherwise doing well so far. Charlie Crist is ahead of Jim Davis (no, not the creator of Garfield) for governor, and Ric Keller is ahead of Charlie Stuart for Congress.
The office elections are shaking out as I thought so far. The issues are more important on my mind, though. According to the election results posted right now on the Orlando Sentinel, all of the ammendments appear to be heading in the YES direction. That just tells me there’s no end to the ignorance of Florida voters.
I guess I’ll see the final story when I wake up tomorrow morning.
