Stop the vote efforts spread to Florida

Experts have said that Ohio and Florida are two of the most important swing states this election. So it was with a sick turn to my stomach that I reported that someone in the Dayton, Ohio area was trying to prevent asentee ballots from being counted. Now, my stomach is in knots(thanks, atrios):

Pasco elections officials have a warning for the county's absentee voters: Don't give your ballot to a stranger claiming to be from the elections office.

They're not who they say they are.

"The people who are soliciting your ballots in this manner are not elections officials," Pasco Elections Supervisor Kurt Browning warned Thursday.

The warning came after a phone call from a west Pasco woman. Other Florida counties have gotten similar complaints.

"We've had a bunch of them - 100 at least," said Bob Sweat, elections supervisor for Manatee County. "It's probably going on all over the state of Florida."
