Many Florida election office websites crashed on first day of early voting

[Zorro]

The public-facing websites for county elections offices across the state were down Monday, making critical information about where and when to vote more difficult to find as Pinellas, Hillsborough and many other counties start early in-person voting.

It’s unclear what is causing the problem. A Tallahassee-based vendor, VR Systems, said around midday Monday that it would be “releasing a statement soon.” Several websites had error messages that said they were “under heavy load at this time.”

As of midday, the Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas elections offices had posted backup versions of their websites with basic information about polling sites and how voters can check their information. But some other elections supervisors’ websites still showed error messages.

The technology troubles do not affect voting tallies, just the public-facing websites.

Nothing suspicious about this at all...

1. Intentional or not, it will make it worse for DeSantis Crime Family ...

... another example of how they really don't think your vote is worthless.

2. We went to the Florida court house location where the drop box was supposed to be.

Drove around a few times and finally went in to ask.
There was no box.
Had to go to county Election Office to hand in ballots.

[Think. Again.]

3. Gee, I hope no rightwinger uses this as an excuse to challenge the election....

...that would be totally unexpected

4. The obvious question is, how does anyone know wether the tech troubles include voting tallies or not?

I’m assuming tptb thought their website was ready to function until it didn’t

It’s illegal to hand count votes in Florida so if they suspect a problem the ballots are re fed through the scanner
