The Corrupt Politician of the Day, Nov. 23rd

Florida's Republican Secretary of State, Glenda Hood is our winner today!!!

So here, in Florida, there was this list of people that couldn't vote because they were felons. It caused a lot of problems in the election in 2000. So, they hired a company, Accenture, to try to make it better.

But this silly boy named Clay Roberts, who used to work in the Elections Division decided that if the race and gender of the felon from the FDLE didn't match up with the race on gender on the voter registration they would be left off the list.

Now, the FDLE doesn't count Hispanic as a race, while the Voter Registration people do, so all the Hispanic people were left off the list. Accenture knew about this and warned the people in the Secretary of State's office.

Now, Hispanics usually vote Republican, so that would mean that a lot of Hispanic felons would get to vote, even though they shouldn't have been able to and they would mostly vote Republican. So when people found out about this, Ms. Glenda and her friends decided not to use the list. That was very nice of them. But even so, the nice people in Florida wanted to know how this happened.

So, Ms. Glenda, put an employee on the case who reports DIRECTLY to her. And of course he found no irregularities. What a scam. I don't think that's very fair.
