There are numerous broadcast news reports today (03-15) that Donald Trump’s name has been left off the ballot in several areas of Florida for today’s primary. It is further reported that the local election officials in those areas seems to be very interested in “crowding” people in the election booths in order to “help them” put their ballot in the voting machine. These anecdotal reports assert that, on occasion,the voters have had to physically push the local precinct officials out of the booth.
Assuming these reports are true (a dangerous practice I grant you) the incorrect ballots cannot POSSIBLY be an honest mistake. Somebody has to approve the final printing order for ballots. Somebody has to proof the ballots before they are distributed. I find it IMPOSSIBLE to believe that nobody noticed that THE major presidential candidate’s name would be left off the ballot as an oversight.
At first glance I would say that these reports are in error. However, I would not care to bet on that. The anti-Trump fervor from the Republican power structure is so incredible that it would not surprise me to maybe somebody would have some bootleg ballots printed (or maybe even official ones printed) and attempt to substitute them for the official ballots in order to shaft Trump.
Again assuming these reports are correct somebody should have their ass whopped, and then be sent to prison.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Now, now Bob, come on and give them old farts in Florida a break. You know that old people are forgetful. Oops, now I can’t remember what I was saying.

Doesn't seem to matter much, Trump won anyway. Assuming (again) that the earlier reports are valid it still warrants looking into.
