in the Florida primary. Then the workers "found" the ballots in a closet.

Florida woman said poll workers tried to turn her away, saying the primary was for Republican voters only.
Theresa Wibert said a poll worker at her Polk County precinct handed her and her husband Republican ballots and told them Democrats could not vote in Tuesdays primary, reported WFLA-TV.
The boss came over and said we could vote for Republicans only, she said. I couldnt believe it. I told them I wasnt leaving
It sure wasnt politically correct.
A third Democratic voter was also denied a ballot at the Winter Haven precinct but was eventually allowed to vote.
We would have been turned away if we werent forceful about it, Wibert said.

(3,040 posts)Election fraud occurs with such an astonishing frequency yet is always under reported. If a person in authority (the county/party poll worker) tells someone something along these lines, most average voters would just comply with what they are told and not question it or rock the vote. There are untold numbers of discouraged voters for every few that complain. This is just party/local politics as usual.
Once, I was talking with my brother about a funny named GOP county clerk running against the incumbent while in line to vote. The nice old lady that has us sign the roll heard us (and assumed we were going to vote for the candidate) and told us that we shouldn't vote for that person because he will lose anyway. If I were apt to listen to authority, like many of the elderly on line behind me, I probably would have listened to her.
