Political Parties of Florida
The following table lists the “minor” political parties (SOE terminology, not mine) that are registered with the Supervisor of Elections. Some have websites and can be found to obviously lean left or right. Others are harder to discern. This will be useful information as we engage the voters on behalf of our candidates as call sheets typically identify a person’s party identification.
If anyone has knowledge about these parties and what they stand for, please comment.

Volunteer Poll Watchers Needed on 4/13
The Ed Lynch campaign is asking for volunteers to be poll watchers around the district on election day, 4/13/10. Poll watchers of both political parties provide a valuable service by insuring integrity of our elections. They observe what occurs inside the polling places and bring any discrepancies to the attention of the poll clerk and/or Supervisor of Elections. This is a way to participate in democracy.
Training will be provided in a class by Mark Hoch of the Republican Party of Palm Beach.
You must have official credentials from the Supervisor of Elections to be a poll watcher and the deadline to get your application in is March 29.
