Attempted Sabotage Foiled in Florida!

So, check this out. Deerfield Beach, Fla. is one hour south of Palm Beach. Nearly 400 people were planted firmly in line at 6:15 this morning, waiting for the polls to open at 7:00 AM. There is one voting machine to accommodate all of them.

The area almost entirely African American. Many of the people never have voted before. One woman was 101 years old. She was wheeled into the polling place and on her way out she said that before she died, she wanted to vote for a black man.

Election monitors noticed a man in line who appeared to be a voter. Turns out he was a saboteur, telling people the Democrats were supposed to vote at a different location.

Some of the voters said they were robocalled last night. The message -- Democrats weren't supposed to vote until Wednesday.

UPDATE -- Election officials just delivered seven more voting machines.

He was black untile he started embrassing the white folks at they own game - golf- now he's of " mixed heritage " yeah ...ok ! Everone wants to say something now, but from dat one it's been said that if you had a DROP of black in you you were considered black ! Now that he holds the highest seat in the country he's " of mixed race?"

227. Glad to hear a 101yr old lady voted for the first time. Too bad the only reason she voted was to finally vote for a black man. Sounds racist to me. We needed someone with great experience at this time for our Country and we did not get it.

228. For those who spoke of the 101 year old woman and her comment, you need to live half of the life that she lived. You need to fight half of the struggle that she fought. MLK's speach "I had A Dream" is finally taking effect today. I don't actually believe that she was voting for him because he was black, I bet she was voting for him because of what it represent. Equality. In her day blacks were looked upon as not even good enough to even drink out of the same water fountain as whites, not able to use their rest room, not able to eat in their diner, and now some fifty years later-- we have a black man as presidents. It's the struggle that speaks volume. Turn the tables, Alot of people voted for McCain only because they didn't want to see a black man in office. Admit it, half were afraid that you wouldn't be able to call the 'White House" the white house anymore.

232. Okay.... first to call someone stupid for believing someone's attempt at sabotage is dispicable..... the people that voted that day were there to vote just like anyone else.... because their will to vote was stronger than their BS meter they are stupid.... people tend to trust in the fact that when someone says something they mean it.... the person that started the whole thing should be getting the nasty comments not the people that wanted to cast their vote....
