FOX is stating there is a district with 35 votes as of now. That is a lie and they are trying to state the illegal actions by Republican state congressmen to limit voter turnout is working. Give me a break. No one in this country is that stupid except perhaps John Roberts.
...Whitlock (click here) noted that two days before the Jan. 11 primary for the congressional race, a total of 18.7 percent of the voters had turned out.
She said that the turnout is also greater than the last special congressional election in Florida, which was held in April 2010 in the Fort Myers area. During that election for the 19th Congressional District seat, 15.2 percent of eligible voters cast ballots, she said.
The race has garnered national attention. The district is considered a tossup between the two major political parties, and ads for Democrat Alex Sink and Republican David Jolly have inundated mailboxes and airwaves in recent weeks....
There is reason for the electorate to take their vote seriously today. Her decision to run for office was a personal triumph after the loss of her husband, Bill.

...Throughout (click here) their 26-year marriage, Bill had been Sink's political partner, her sounding board, her fundraiser. And cheerleader. As recently as last Thanksgiving, he was encouraging her to run in 2014.
Then, just before Christmas, he suddenly died.
Friends and family sustained Sink through the first numb weeks, but it wasn't long before her admirers began tugging at her. They cornered her at the airport, the post office, the gym: "Please, Alex, we need you! Florida needs you!" They wanted to contribute to her campaign, plant signs, work the phones.
"I understand all the tough times that you have been through personally," someone wrote on her Facebook. "But please think of the young people, the future of Florida and our country."...
David Jolly is a lobbyist? They better get out to vote. This is no joke.

...During a protest Wednesday (click here) at Jolly’s campaign headquarters across from St. Pete-Clearwater Airport the group waved signs at passing motorists cautioning them against what they see as a plan that would gut Medicare. Dave Dovar, a retired computer programmer, said if Jolly had his way, the senior safety net would be hawked off to the private sector....
It is more than obvious why David Jolly wants governmental power.
This is his lobbying registration. The abbreviations states where his focus was for his client.
BUD - Budget/Appropriations
GOV - Governmental Issues
HCR - Health Issues
LBR - Labor issues/Anti-trust workplace
MMM - Medicare/Medicaid
RET - Retirement
SMB - Small Business
TAX - Taxation/Internal Revenue Code.
It isn't obvious why Jolly is running for office? He has NOT accomplished his mission for the private sector. He isn't interested in the people. He is on a mission for his clients.
David Jolly's client according to the application is Van Scoyoc Associates. Ready for this? I don't believe Mr. Jolly's first focus is the people.
