More evidence that the Party of (a)Morality is, once again, up to no good in Florida:

Broward County residents who skipped over a box on their voter registration form will be barred from voting in the presidential election, while Miami-Dade residents who made the same omission will be allowed to cast ballots.

Secretary of State Glenda Hood, who oversees elections statewide, said Monday that Broward was following her instructions in disqualifying those who failed to complete the form.

But she indicated that there was no way to force Dade to follow the same procedure. And Dade said it was sticking to its plan of not disqualifying voters for skipping the citizenship box if they affirmed elsewhere with their signatures that they are U.S. citizens.

The disparate procedures came to light in the days before Monday's deadline for registering to vote in Florida in November.

Let's see. Hmm... Jewish Democrats in Broward, Cuban Republicans in Miami-Dade. What's not to understand?
