Blogging the 2020 Vote
Early returns in Florida raise familiar questions about the integrity of the vote there. With lower vote totals than expected for Joseph Biden, especially in Miami-Dade County, suspicions about the quality of the vote information we are getting from there mount. This is the county with the famous "white shirt and tie" riot conducted by Republican staffers from Capitol Hill in 2000, with the goal of disrupting the legitimate vote count there.
And there are indeed reports in different parts of the country regarding broken vote machines, polling sites moved at the last moment, as well as acts of voter intimidation. All of these are familiar (sadly) problems.
However, at this very early point in the vote tabulation, one voting rights organizer I heard said that fortunately, the acts of threatening voter intimidation were not wide-spread in America this day in November 2020.
