    Ban Florida from voting. Period.

    With a government that voted to hold the presidential primary a week before Super Tuesday along with allegations of voter fraud during two presidential elections, it has become obvious that the voting system in Florida is corrupt and must be dealt with.

    The only reasonable solution is to ban Florida from any future presidential elections in the hopes of preventing such a disaster from spreading.

    Florida, as a southern state, is more likely to go to the Republican Party in the election. After years of tyranny and ignorance with the Republican Party, it would be better to deny them one easy state – republicans will still have all the other states in the South, who can be counted on to vote like sheep.

    If anyone were to look at the demographics of Florida, they would see a clear reason as to why Florida should be banned from voting. It’s the fourth largest state in the country with a majority of its citizens either believing in an outdated ideology or belonging to a lobby that misses life under the rule of Fulgencio Batista.

    It truly is an amazing place, considering Disney World and a swamp are the only attractions of any interest.

    The state robbed the African American community of their votes during the 2000 presidential election and violated the National Voting Rights Act of 1965.

    How could Florida be trusted to participate in a national election when it can’t even guarantee all of its residents a free and fair election? It is a state that is all too willing to ignore or even violate the rights of U.S. citizens.

    If we cannot remove Florida from the process, we can at least have former president Jimmy Carter supervise the elections. Carter has become well known as an international figure and has overseen elections in several countries.

    If the right to vote in the presidential election is suspended for Florida, it will send a clear message to all other states and their dominating political party that such fraud is intolerable in this country.
