Polling Clerk Fired After Telling Florida Independent Voter She Can't Vote


I'm sorry we're not accepting Independent or Democrat votes this year, says Mr. Puti... I mean Smith. Story out of Polk County, Florida:

A Polk County Polling Clerk has been fired after an issue at the polls Tuesday morning.

According to Supervisor of Elections Community Services Director P.J. Leiva, A voter went to Precinct 216, located on South Lakeside Avenue, looking to vote Independent.

The voter was told she couldn’t vote because she was independent, and they didn’t have the correct ballots. After an argument, and a search, the voter was given the correct ballot and she was able to vote.

The worker, who we’re told has been employed for a number of years, was fired shortly after an incident. Cont.
