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.

For more information, please contact:

Ed Lynch Volunteers Needed for Lake Worth and Boynton Beach Area

This is from Kathy Robbins of the Ed Lynch Campaign

---

We are creating a team to get out the vote for Ed Lynch in the Lake Worth, Boynton Beach area. We are looking for people who live in area gated communities (or know anyone who does!) as well as those willing to distribute Ed’s literature to small businesses. We have several projects going and our needs are varied so there is a place for everyone willing to give some time (even a couple of hours) to this important election in the next 57 days. But please sign up now so we can get organized! Also, anyone you know who may be willing to help is welcome! Just contact me at kathy@electlynch.com

Looking forward to working with you!

Kathy Robbins

Elaine Chao – Why No Jobs?

Elaine Chao gives the best explanation I’ve heard yet why there is no job growth (hint: has to do with the Progressive Agenda)

CD 19 Results

Ted Deutch is the winner for the Democrats with a 4:1 vote margin over Ben Graber.

In the Republican race, the vote was so close that a recall was expected, but a vote adjustment in Palm Beach County put Ed Lynch over the 0.5% margin and Joe Budd conceded.

The counts provided by the Supervisors of Election in Palm Beach and Broward Counties are as follows:

Turnout for this election was very light. In a district with 344,912 eligible voters, 36,278 people voted – that’s 10.5%. If you compare the parties, Democrats had the edge in turnout with 28,118 voting out of about 234228 or 12%, while 8160 Republicans voted out of about 110684 or 7%. Since a Republican win would need a big percentage of that party’s voters going to the polls, the lack of interest in the primary does not bode well.
