Twisted Logic

Senator Michael (Mike) S. Bennett (R-Fla) is twistedly proposing a new ballot box be added to Florida ballots, as if Floridians aren’t confused enough about voting.  Recall the chads debacle?

Bennett’s twisted logic:

Maybe a congressional race was so nasty that a large number of voters simply didn’t want to check the box next to either candidate.

That’s what state Sen. Mike Bennett said he believes happened in the now-infamous District 13 congressional race.

Hoping to prevent a repeat, he persuaded the Senate Ethics and Elections committee to approve a bill, SB-494, on Monday that would require ballots to have the additional option of “I choose not to vote.”

Excuse me, Mr. Bennett, but if an individual chooses not to vote, which I would sincerely hope would occur, they simply do not vote.  They do not stroll into a polling place and mark a ballot box which states “I choose not to vote,” because that is still a vote.

‘I Choose Not To Vote’ May Soon Be Ballot Option
