by hand, they didn't register because most of the voters left that race blank. maybe these democrats didn't vote for rick scott because he's a republican. maybe they didn't vote for bill nelson because he's bill nelson. who knows? that's the fact of the matter here. it puts nelson in an impossible position. there is chatter and speculation. some democrats said they couldn't see the race on the ballot because it had been tucked in the lower left and perhaps the poor ballot design by broward county. even so, that's tough luck for nelson. there's history for that too. in palm beach county when it designed the butterfly ballot when it tricked democrats into voting for pat buchanan. either way, it doesn't matter because once it's all said and done, it'll be certified on tuesday. scott is going to washington.
