... about voting, elections and the sanctity of the ballot box will be revealed Saturday when Pasco elections supervisor Brian Corley joins us in the studio on the next episode of “The Jax Files Weekend.”
Early voting for the Aug. 24 primary—the first leg of what many regard as the most important midterm election in 70 years—is under way across the state, and Florida’s elections supervisors are feeling the heat to make sure they get everything right.
Topics we’re sure to cover include optical ballot readers vs. touch-screen voting machines; what’s on the 2010 primary ballot and who can vote on what; proof-of-identification requirements at the precincts; how to report voter intimidation; electioneering near voting places; the use of absentee ballots; election myths vs. election fact; and the chances of ever experiencing another Bush-Gore meltdown.
“The Jax Files Weekend” airs Saturday mornings at 11 on WGUL, 860 AM. We’re also live-streaming on the Web at http://www.860wgul.com. We encourage your questions, challenges, doubts, complaints and even the rare compliment by calling us at (877) 969-8600.
