In 2004, we had over 2,000,000 registered voters who never got out to vote...

...all I can hope for this time is that those numbers will be nowhere where they were back then.

Though registration officially closed on the 6th, we did get over 500,000 new voters registered in the state with 50,000 of them being from Palm Beach County... and lots of them were young, first-time voters. In some of the rural farm area in the Glades there were men and woman who were well in their 80s and 90s who re-registerd (name changes and all)... and in Riviera Beach, the same thing.

I'm happy to see the young registration increase as it has this time around, and all we can hope for is tat there's enough push to get them out.

We start early voting, Monday... but not all of the previous poll locations will be located where they were in the past, but there's enough help to go around to see that those with special needs will have the proper transport help that they need.

No matter how voters vote; be it strictly for party, race or issues... I'm glad that so many will be there this time around. They're there to do what they think is best for them and the country... and what makes them happy.

I'm not one to say what's right or wrong for others on election day...

We've all had some pretty clean fun here on the board and kind of weeded out those who weren't all that clean... and that's good.

Some even kept their word... and that sits well with a lot of us. Thanks.
