Any Florida registered voter should confirm if your registration has been cancelled or changed. You want to ensure you are still registered when you show up to vote.

Watch for identify theft, since name, birth date, home address and social security number are part of voter registration records.

Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) on Wednesday said Russian hackers had successfully "penetrated" some of Florida's election systems ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.

"They have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about"

Nelson said leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee encouraged him fellow Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R) to notify Florida state election supervisors that "the Russians are in their records," according to the report.

your title is misleading at best.

Given that the story turned out to be fake, especially so.



Then again the MSM parrots these things as fact with absolutely no proof.

Not only do they parrot these fake stories, but then once it is discovered they are fake, they fail to retract and then of course, the narrative is already out there.

No, but they can make them confusing as hell. The infamous Florida butterfly ballot is what started the electronic voting machines to begin with, and mind you, Florida has a large retirement community down here that don't see as clearly as they used to.

After I dared to question the nature of this "hacking", I received these replies containing this made up non-sense and ad hominem reasoning.

Where are they all now? Come back and defend your fake news some more.

They probably stole data about people, social security number, birth dates, addresses. Maybe they changed voter registrations. Maybe they deleted thousands of voters' registrations or marked them as inactive. Maybe they added new voters. Maybe they switched parties.

Florida's primary is later this month. It's too late for voters to change their registration before the primary. That deadline passed. Not sure what voters can do if their data has been changed because it's too late to switch it back. Voters would be turned away from the polls if their data was deleted/changed.

Florida has a closed primary. To vote in the R or D primary, one must be a registered R or D.

Simply switching registration on a voter can alter the election results because that voter would lose the ability to vote in their primary.

Time to go back to old fashion paper ballots and paper voter registration cards.

In Oregon we have paper mail-in ballots read by scanners. Easy to audit.

If you listen to the audio of Sen Nelson,he explains. It's the 67 counties which are in charge of the voting and he and Rubio notified them.

FL has 67 independent Supervisors of Elections. Each of them runs the election in their county and is responsible for voter registration data within that county. The state, at a whole, doesn't do any of that. Rather, it's broken up into 67 individual pieces. All 67 have different voter registration databases, all have different ballot design. In fact, they don't even have the same method of voting. Some use voting machines, some have paper ballots. Listen to the 5 minute tape.


The state itself doesn't run elections.It's broken into 67 parts - with 67 "Supervisor of Elections" which are all elected officials in FL.

So, you are going to tell the "bank tellers" but you're not going to to the boss of those "bank Tellers".......




Yea, O.K.....
