How 3,200 Voted Illegally in Florida NewsMax.comVoters by the thousands – and still counting – managed to cast illegal ballots for president in Florida. Among them were hundreds upon hundreds of convicted criminals. According to a continuing statewide survey of illegal voting in the Sunshine State still being conducted by the Miami Herald: • At least 3,200 ballots were cast by people who had no legal right to do so. • And that's just what's been turned up so far in only 25 of Florida's 67 counties. • In an earlier report, the Herald discovered 1,200 of the illegal votes had been cast by felons, who had lost their right to vote. • Now, yet another 100 votes by convicted criminals have been unearthed in this further survey. • Another 1,700 people were found not to have been registered to vote in counties where they cast ballots. This included those removed from the voting rolls because they had not voted in several years, had moved out of the county, or simply had not bothered to register to vote. • Others were allowed to vote whose registration applications were later deemed invalid because they were incomplete, filled out incorrectly, or submitted after the Oct. 10 deadline for the presidential election. • A number of voters cast ballots in one county, but were found to be living in another. • Some voted by absentee ballot, then on Nov. 7 turned right around and voted again at their local polling sites. One of those who somehow managed to vote twice was 90-year-old Cora Thigpen, who lives in North Florida. She told the Herald that "if I had voted a half-dozen times, I would have voted every time for Al Gore." The Democratic Party nominee, then the vice president, lost Florida to Republican George W. Bush, now president, by the official statewide count of only 537 votes.
