WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - America's most infamous county is at it again.
Even Democrats are complaining that Democrat-dominated Palm Beach County, ground zero for Al Gore's failed coup attempt four years ago, is messing up early voting, which started today.

Democrat state Rep. Shelley Vana grumbled that the paper
absentee ballot she was handed lacked one of its two pages. "She said election workers were indifferent when she pointed out the oversight," the Associated Press reported.
Vana fumed: "There was absolutely no concern on the part of the folks at the Supervisor of Elections Office that this page was missing. This is not a good start. If there are incomplete ballots out there, I can't imagine I would be the only one getting it."
What in the world does she expect from her fellow Democrats and bureaucrats? To be treated better than other taxpayers?
But some people had no problem using the touch-screen voting machines.
"I'm a computer-phobe, and it seemed easy enough to me," Patrick Flanagan said to AP.
Tell that to the thousands of Democrat condo commandos who claimed four years ago to be too stupid to use the Democrat-designed ballot and who are already crying about contesting the results of this election.
'Only in Florida' Indeed
In neighboring Broward County, which is even more heavily Democrat and, not coincidentally, more plagued by corruption, nine of 14 early voting sites reported screwing up.
"Gisela Salas, of the Broward Elections Office, said workers were having problems with a live database connection that is used to verify that a voter is properly registered," the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel reported today.
Democrats tried to blame Republicans for the Democrat bungling.
"The worst thing to hear was, 'I support Kerry, but I can't wait in this line,'" whined Sally Zwanger, a poll watcher for John Kerry's campaign. "We are having a repeat of 2000, and it's only in Florida that this could happen. This administration would do anything to ensure that he [Bush] stays in office."
