Help! I'm a Florida Voter!

October 24, 2008, 10:19PM

I'm in Pasco County, a NJ transplant. This ballot has SIX costitutional amendments, a bunch of local eletion and five judicial elections (they don't elect judges in NJ). Except for the local elections, they are non-partisan.

My net search has been an exercise in futility. I planned to vote early, so if I have a problem I can fix it, but at the rate I'm going, I won't be ready by Nov. 4!

I don't feel bad asking here, because I hope any sugestions might help others with similar quanrdies.

Thanks,

Marianne

I'm not quite sure what kind of help you are asking for but the impression that I get is that you aren't sure how to vote on certain parts of the ballot.

I'm in Texas and we have early voting here too. Because I am registered as a Democrat, I received a newspaper-type publication from the local Democratic organization. This publication has all the Democratic recommendations for this year's election including District Judges, Sheriffs, State and Federal representatives as well the Presidential pick.

I plan on taking this with me when I vote because there are rumors that voting straight ticket didn't always work.

I've only lived here for 2 years so I am not very familiar with the local races. I figure voting all Democratic is the way to go.

If this is your dilemma, then I suggest contacting a local Democratic organization in your community and they should be able to supply you with a list of Democratic recommendations for your local elections.

Here's one I found for you:

Hope this helps.
