Officials say hundreds, perhaps thousands.
If it turns out there's no nefarious character behind the scene pulling strings, I'll be satisfied. A black guy in Tampa stopped near a polling place for a seat-belt violation, a Haitian or Hispanic refused assistance in reading the ballot, college students who thought they were registered but whose names weren't on the voter rolls. Several complainants said they were denied the opportunity to cast affidavit ballots, which are kept segregated for later consideration. In other cases, would-be voters who said they were registered but didn't have registration cards said election workers tried to call their headquarters, only to confront endless busy signals. Scores of these new registrants said their names were not on the rolls when they arrived to vote.
