Hillsborough County, Florida
Supervisor of Elections Phyllis Busansky released her 9-page
report on 2008 election problems. A notable quote:
“Although it was not the main focus of this report, it
should be noted that many of the problems that occurred were
caused by inadequacies in the Premier system which they have
acknowledged and are working to correct.” We hope she
submits the report to the EAC, so other election officials
have access to the information....
