Hundreds in Pinellas Told Voting Day Is 'Tomorrow'
Oops. Election Day snafu No. 1 (as far as we know so far) comes not from South Florida but from the left coast, from Pinellas County, where hundreds of voters were told to come to the polls on Wednesday, not today.
A robocall meant to be auto-dialed on Monday mistakenly went out between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Those on the receiving end were folks who asked to vote by mail but hadn't returned their ballots.
"We were told the supervisor of elections would take our ballot right up to 7 p.m. tomorrow," Pinellas voter Miriam Keller told Sunshine State News. "I listened very closely, I heard it with my own ears."
A supervisor of elections spokesperson confirmed the faux pas. "The calls were halted immediately, as soon as we found out," she said.
