Thousands of pages of voter information were found lying along the shoulder of Interstate 4 this morning.
The papers, all with information about Hillsborough County voters, have been cleaned up and taken to a Department of Transportation maintenance facility for now, but voting officials still don't know where they came from.
Transportation workers spotted the nine bags of documents on their traffic cameras along a ramp off I-4 and I-275.
The Hillsborough County supervisor of elections says it did not come from his office, but looks like it may have come from a campaign office or a grassroots effort which drives voters to polling paces. The documents contain names, addresses, phone numbers, and party affiliation, and if the voter needs a ride.
Transportation officials have called the Florida Division of Elections to see if the state office wants to investigate, and are waiting back for a response. If not, the plan is to shred the documents this afternoo

Ok look if we cannot have fair elections how dare us try to push them on any other country. We should stay the hell out of the middle east until we get our act together
Maybe just maybe the world can respect us again because it will show them the we the guts to truly be one nation that stands by it convictions. Oh damn I almost gagged on that one and i am typing this go figure

Like many said above, NO BIG DEAL! Here in VT anyone can buy a voters list with addresses and phone numbers for an administrative fee. I would not be surprised if it's the same most other places.

What's done is done, and the votes are cast. Its time to celebrate in style (I hope!)
This link is a list of places to go celebrate starting at about 5pm in Portland, Oregon. I'm sure there's a site or two out on the intarwebs to point you in the direction of a local pub or meeting house that will be broadcasting the election results for your pleasure/dismay, so get outside, meet some friends and party! We don't have to hear any more crap from any more politicians courting our votes for at least another year, right? That alone is worth celebrating. I don't have to be inundated witht "he did this" or "he didn't do that"; I don't have to hear the term Maverick, Socialist, "Joe the Plumber", or any of that nonsense anymore!!! W00T!! Throw back a pint for me and belt out a song about how great this all feels - let freedom ring! - 3 years ago

This was on all the local media papers and channels so indeed it was I-4. If you consider invasion of your privacy as no big deal, then it isn't but for the rest of us, we don't want our preference for presidential candidate exposed to anyone who wanted to stop by and pick it up.
You never know what kind of idiot could have picked that uup and with phone numbers and addresses noted on the form, it could have ended up with harrassment.

I don't know where this pic was taken, but if you click the photo it does take you to foxtampabay.com and the actual photo of the docs.
I don't think it matters how they got there, it's ridiculous that there aren't higher security standards period. - 3 years ago

If Americans are so incapable of selecting people to lead and represent them, then how can there be any justice in a system where the law enforcement and court systems are political. No wonder we have so many innocent citizens spending most of their life in jail or prison because the jury is incapable of finding the truth as well as power hungry law enforcement who like politicians will say or do anytrhing to remain in power. Obama may find that the American people are vindicated but I do not find that truth to be evident. Americans will soon reap the fruits of their ignorance. They all have the right to vote, but their minds are clouded by the false promises and idolatry.

Funny, the local tv channel was questioning the Democratic campaign manager as their volunteers had been in the area earlier in the evening. Of course they denied it. along with the storey of a fictious Bob Smith who is registered to vote as a democrat at a store address with an apt number tht doesn't exist.

That wasnt a picture of Highway 4, a major 6 lane freeway, and it doesnt even look like a picture of the Tampa area within 100 miles.
The papers, all with information about Hillsborough County voters, does not make for illegal votes or registration, nor does it indicate a party involvemnet, so this much ado about nothing.
It could have fallen off of a truck making the bend in the off ramp.

Can we get some answers for once? This entire voting system needs to be reorganized and that should be Obama's first priority as President! Not because there is fraudulent behavior definitely found, but because we lack the confidence in it to believe that there is proof that there hasn't been any.

Not included in the above but included on a tbo.com article annotated next to the voter information was a mark indicating who was the voter's preference for presidential candidate. I don't agree with the states position that ALL the information was public knowledge. No one knows that information.

INBD, guys.
Anyone can get a list of past voters, their home phone number, addressee, and their typical party affiliation. I've done a great amount of phone banking in my day, and it sounds like someone lost their calling list. Well, a lot of their lists. - 3 years ago

WTF - it's already started. The New World Order is at it again willing to do anything to stay in power by keeping our country & its citizens in perpetual indebted servitude. "Taking it to the Streets" may be the order of the day (& night) if any impropriety in voting can be linked to subversive activities. And "Revolution" the new anthem if another election is stolen by war profiteers who continue to rape & pillage our once great country at our expense, while defending a Middle East invasion the rest of the world has condemned.
