School bus shooting - If the shooter was NOT in custody, why would the police allow the nearby childcare and schools to be open !!!???? I am upset, my children are there.
I am a Miami Resident, who went to the polls with patience, why in the world would people wait til Election Day to request or return an Absentee Ballot when the deadline was broadcast weeks before. Why would a voter complain about waiting in line or get to the voting machine and rush the machine, then it jams they say oh the machines aren't working and be rude to the Staff. I tell this to the Mayor, Supervisor of Elections and Staff, you did a good job dispite the greivances voters had/have against the Elections Department. We leave home uneducated about the issues on the ballot, regardless of the numerous correspondence handed out to help educate the voter prior to coming to the polls. GET OVER YOURSELVES PEOPLE, WE COMPLAIN AND POINT FINGERS AT EVERYONE ELSE BUT OURSELVES. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET AN ABSENTEE BALLOT ON SUNDAY, MONDAY OR TUESDAY.
Just saw your report on income tax fraud in south Florida.

DORAL (CBS4)- While Florida’s GOP presidential primary is just around the corner, Miami-Dade County Elections Department tested its voting equipment ahead of the January 31st election.

Election department employees casted their ballots as if they were voters to ensure that the optical scanners, machines and all other equipment, which will be deployed in the upcoming election, are all working properly.

Approximately 750 people turned out to vote to try out every type of ballot. Although it’s an important test, it is mandated by the state.

“This shows voters and us that the equipment is performing as it should,” said Christina White, Deputy Supervisor Elections. “When the results from today’s test match, the predetermined outcome, we know that those equipment have captured the as they should and the equipment is ready.

At the end of the test votes, the machines passed with flying colors, CBS4’s Michelle Gillen reported.

There will be another testing day on Friday.
