Only A Few Choices On The

Not Retired? Unless youre
retired, getting to the polls on a

or three jobsforget it! Work
schedules often just dont allow
time to go vote.
Early Voting Helps Although
you have more days to choose from,
the poll hours are limited: 10am to
6pm, inconvenient for working folk.
If youre not working, youd like to

Absentee Ballots Are Always

Counted First In Florida
by Susan Bucher
Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections

When Are Mail Ballots Counted? I have heard voters who have
moved to Florida from other states
comment that Absentee Ballots are
only counted in elections when the
results are too close to call a winner.
In Florida we have learned the importance of Every Vote Counts and
most especially in Palm Beach County where we have consistently seen
elections won and lost by only a few
votes.
Theyre Counted First I want
to assure the voters of Palm Beach
County that their Supervisor of Elections Always Counts Absentee Ballots First in every election.
The state law allows the Supervisor
to begin comparing signature similarities from the voter file, to the signature on the outside of the absentee
ballot envelope, open the absentee ballot and send the paper ballot
through our high speed counters 15
days prior to each election. We are
not allowed to complete the counting
process and hit the total button until
after 7:00 p.m. on Election Night.
Mail Ballots Are Reported First
The first election results on Election
Night are always posted on our web
site at 7:30 p.m. These votes represent
our already opened and processed absentee ballots. Because we continue to
receive absentee ballots up until 7:00
p.m. on Election Day at our main office and from the post office that day,
we continue to add to the absentee
ballot totals until every absentee ballot
has been processed and counted.

75 Ways Socialism
Has Improved America

JOB DESCRIPTIONS, continued from page 2

School districts are complex corporations; theyre

often the largest employers in a community and
the decisions they make reach far, affecting jobs,
resources and, most importantly, the education of
all children.

Daily Kos Classics

Continued from June Issue [ed]

Ways 16 - 30

16.Polio Vaccine
In the 1950s polio ravaged the United States. Until
Dr. Jonas Salk invented a cure, finally ridding
America of this terrible disease. Dr. Salk could
have sold his vaccine in the free market and made
millions and millions of dollars. Instead, he gave
it to the federal government to begin eradicating
polio. He said that he made plenty of money as a
scientist and felt it was too important to try and
profit from or create a business around.
17.EPA
Republicans hate this taxpayer-funded government
program because the program has the nerve to
tell corporations that they may have to follow
environmental rules and regulations for the greater
good of the earth and the people who live on it. But
if you dont like breathing mercury, drinking dirty
water, and breathing in chemicals, you should like
this example of socialism working for the people.
18.Social Security
You pay a tax to help ensure that our grandparents
and senior citizens of America have money to live off
of when they are retired or too elderly to work. I love
hearing rich people bitch about this one because the
truth is that they do not pay a social security tax,
like most payroll taxes. This little piece of socialism
helps prevent our senior citizens from sinking into
poverty and starving to death.

What do School Board members do? Somewhere

in between the agendas, public comment sessions
and resolutions, school boards make a number of
important decisions. A school board member is elected
to be a fiduciary (guardian) for his/her constituents.
School boards establish a vision for the communitys
schools. They have to set up and maintain an effective,
efficient organizational structure for the district that
lets the superintendent and administrators manage
the schools, teachers teach, and students learn.
School board members are responsible for hiring and
evaluating a superintendent, evaluating and adopting
policies that affect all schools in the district, serving
as a judicial and appeals body when conflicts go
unresolved, monitoring and adjusting district finances,
and managing the collective bargaining process in the
district.

A school board has a symbolic role as well. The

behavior it shows off in the meeting room, the
rapport among school board members and the
relationships that members have with teachers
and administrators in the district all add up to
the climate of public education in a community.
Whether healthy or dysfunctional, a school
board has a heavy influence on the spirit that
characterizes a communitys impression of its
school system.

21.Jail/Prison System
Many murderers and criminals are behind bars
right now and not out on the streets because of
our taxpayer-funded federal and state run jails
and prisons. Taxpayer money is collected and
used to help protect all of society from murderers,
molesters, rapists, etc. I know theres a lot of
disagreement and controversy about how to
handle our prison system, but I think we can all
agree that serial killers should not be freed into
society. There are also many private prisons in
the United States. However, they have a higher
escape rate than their socialist counterpart.
Besides, dont you see the bad incentives in

19.Museums
Many museums are privately owned by
organizations and groups, but many are also
taxpayerfunded state, national, and federal
museums.
20.Public Schools
Cant afford to send your children to an expensive
private school? Thanks to socialism and
government, you child can still get an education.
Public education has been under attack for decades
in this country by the radical right because public
schools dont teach Christianity to your children
and it enables people like Barack Obama to work
hard, gain scholarships, and eventually become
President of the United States.

SOCIALISM, continued from page 3

United States and all the way down to the County

Dog Catcher, taxpayers pay their salary and
provide the funding for them to do their job. We
pay for every aspect of their job. So in a sense, I
guess you could say our whole country is run on
socialism.
26.Food Stamps
Republicans fill with bitter contempt knowing that
our government at the expense of the taxpayer
is giving poor people money to buy food they
couldnt otherwise afford. This, like welfare, is
what the right thinks socialism is all about, along
with mass murder. However, just like corporate
welfare, welfare is socialism. Ill just end this one
with a quick story. I have been down and out in
periods of my life and sought assistance via food
stamps. Even though I was what anyone would
consider poor, I was not poor enough to get food
stamps. Which means people who do get food
stamps, must really, really need them. As far as
my personal experience, they werent thrown
around like candy the way the right would have
you believe.
27.Sewer System
Do you like having a sewer system to remove waste
and prevent pollution and disease from seeping
into our environment? Thank the taxpayers of
America and the socialist system it operates in.
28.Medicare
Medicare is one of the most liked socialist
programs in America. Most of us dont mind
paying taxes to provide our senior citizens with
health care and we hope the next generation
will do the same for us. If you dont believe me,
just look at almost any poll. Most seniors would
not be able to afford private health care. So this
form of socialism is a life saver for this nations
grandparents and senior citizens.
29.Court System
Whether its the murder trial of the century or
a case in a small claims court, the taxpayers of
America fully fund our courts and legal process.
You may pay for your own lawyer, but the
courtroom, judge, and jury is paid for through
socialist means.
30.Bird Flu Vaccine
You dont have bird flu right now and probably
arent worried about it because our federal
government used taxpayer funds to pump vaccines

all over America.

having a private prison system that profits from

having people in prison? Since a business top
goal is to make more money than the year before,
the only feasible agenda would be to get everyone
in prison.
22.Corporate/Business Subsidies
This is the type of socialism that is acceptable in
the Republican party. Your tax dollars are given to
big corporations to do things they should be doing
anyway out of morals and ethics. Like not sending
jobs overseas and hiring people. Wouldnt you
like a nice big check just for not breaking the
law? To be fair though, many businesses do earn
their subsidies by advancing green technology
and practice, donating to charity, helping
communities, etc. They arent all bad. People
just get mad when big billionaire oil companies
get billions of their taxpayer dollars while theyre
paying $4 at the pump. For the corporations that
dont earn their subsidies other than donating to
their very own political party, its merely welfare.
Though however you look at it, it is socialism.
23.Veterans (VA) Health Care
Our soldiers bravely go to foreign countries and
risk their lives at the request of their government
and the American people. For those who survive,
we as a country feel committed and obligated to
ensure that they have everything they need for the
rest of their lives for their service to us that we
could never fully repay. So we the taxpayers fund
their health care in a governmentrun, single
payer system for veterans. Many soldiers return
with mental and/or physical health issues that
would cost them thousands in a private health
care plan. Socialism funds the military, the overall
war, and also takes care of our troops when they
return home.
24.Public Parks
Like going to the park on a sunny day? Just being
able to walk right in, or at the worst pay a small
fee? This is once again the work of socialism. If
it were private, it wouldnt be a park, it would be
someones back yard. That small or non-existent
fee will turn into a $15 fee faster than you can say
No Trespassing.

A Guide For Florida Voters:

Questions And Answers About Florida Judges And

Judicial Elections
This guide has been prepared as a public service by The Florida Bar and its Constitutional Judiciary Committee and
Judicial Administration and Evaluation Committee with input from the Citizens Advisory Committee.
For copies, please contact
The Florida Bar Public Information Department
at (850) 561- 5834 or by email: votersguide@floridabar.org.

1. What are the differences between a county judge, a circuit judge and an appellate
judge?
In Florida, both county and circuit judges are
trial judges. County judges hear criminal misdemeanors those are crimes that have possible
sentences of less than one year in jail and civil
cases in which the amount in dispute is $15,000
or less. Circuit judges deal with criminal felonies,
domestic relations, juvenile matters, probate
issues, and civil cases in which the disputed
amount is greater than $15,000. Judges on the
five District Courts of Appeal and the Florida
Supreme Court review the decisions of county
and circuit trial courts.

5. Why are judicial elections not held in

November during general elections?
Most judicial races appear on the primary ballot
and then on a subsequent ballot in the general
election only if no candidate receives a majority of
votes during the primary. While this means that
many judicial races never appear on the general
election ballot, it allows for the second round of
voting during the general election if necessary.
6. Why dont judges campaign on platforms?
Judicial candidates are prohibited from making
predictions and promises about issues that could
arise once they are on the court because their job
is to make impartial decisions that relate to the
law on the cases before them.

2. What is a nonpartisan election?

In nonpartisan elections, candidates appear
on the ballot without reference to any political
party (e.g. Democrat or Republican). Florida law
requires judicial elections to be nonpartisan in
order to preserve the impartiality of the judges
position.

7. What are the qualifications for running

for a judicial seat?
A person is qualified to run for judicial election
after earning a law degree from a law school
accredited by the American Bar Association. All
candidates for trial judge also must be members
of The Florida Bar for at least five years. Appellate
judges also must be members of The Florida
Bar for at least 10 years. Furthermore, judicial
candidates must live in the geographic areas they
will serve when they take office.

3. Why are county and circuit judges

elected in Florida?
Florida law requires an individual seeking a
position as a county or circuit judge to qualify
as a candidate for a judicial election. Once
qualifications are met, candidates may run in
nonpartisan elections.

8. How long is the term of a judge?

Circuit judges and county court judges are elected
for six-year terms. To retain their seats, they must
be re-elected. Judges who were appointed to
county or circuit court through a vacancy must sit
for election at the end of the remainder of their
appointed terms. Appellate judges, appointed by
the governor, are subject to run in merit retention
elections.

4. Are all judges elected in Florida?

No. Currently, most circuit and county court
judges are elected. If there is a mid-term vacancy
for example, if a judge retires, resigns or dies
before the end of the judges term the governor
fills the position by appointment. Additionally,
Florida Supreme Court justices and District Court
of Appeal judges are appointed by the governor
and then run in merit retention elections to stay
in office.

9. Do judges have term limits?

No, judges do not have limits on the number of
times they may be elected. However, judges may
not serve in Florida past the age of 70 except upon
temporary assignment or to complete a term, onehalf of which has been served before their 70th
birthday.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Merit Retention Elections

10. Why is it important to vote in judicial

elections and merit retention elections?
Florida requires that judges be elected or retained
by the voters, so the power over who holds these
important positions rests with the voters. Judges
make decisions on a wide range of issues large and
small including traffic, small claims, landlordtenant, personal injury, criminal, death penalty,
probate, guardianship and others.

1. Why am I being asked to vote on judges?

Florida law requires Florida Supreme Court
justices and appeals court judges to be placed on
the ballot in nonpartisan elections every six years
so voters can determine whether they should
remain on their courts for another six-year term.
These are called merit retention elections. This
year, three Supreme Court justices and 28 appeals
court judges will be on the ballot.

11. What exactly does a judge do?

Trial judges preside over trials and hearings. In
court, judges make decisions on the acceptability
of testimony and evidence. Judges also ensure
that jurors understand the law. When a jury is
not required, the judge decides the case based
on applicable law and the judges knowledge of
the law. District Court of Appeal judges decide
appeals of trial court decisions. Supreme Court
justices decide death penalty appeals and appeals
from decisions of the appellate courts, resolve
conflicts among appellate courts, and oversee the
administration of Floridas court system.

2. What do Yes and No votes mean?

A Yes vote means you want the judge or justice
to remain on the court for another six-year term.
A No vote means you want the judge or justice
to be removed from the court. The majority of
voters decides.
3. Do appeals court judges and Supreme
Court justices have opponents?
No. Your vote determines whether each judge
or justice should remain on the court. They are
not running against opponents or each other.
Merit retention elections are nonpartisan. In
nonpartisan elections, candidates appear on the
ballot without reference to any political party,
(e.g. Democrat or Republican). Florida law
requires judicial elections to be nonpartisan in
order to preserve impartiality.

12. What makes someone a good judge?

Judges must be impartial, fair and understand
the law. All judges may deal with cases that are
either civil or criminal in nature. Knowledge in
one particular area is not more important than the
other. Judges should be selected based on their
legal abilities, temperament and commitment to
follow the law and decide cases consistent with a
judges duty to uphold the law regardless of his or
her personal view.

4. How do appeals court judges and

Supreme Court justices get on the court?
The governor appoints judges or justices
from lists submitted by Judicial Nominating
Commissions, which screen candidates and make
recommendations based on their merits. Newly
appointed judges go on the ballot for the first time
within two years after appointment. If the voters
retain them, they then go on the ballot again every
six years.

Vote every choice on your ballot!

Many times, voters have said they only

voted for the candidates at the top of
the ballot. They felt they werent wellinformed enough to choose further down.
If you dont vote every choice on your
ballot you earn a D in Citizenship.

5. Which courts are subject to merit

retention elections?
The Florida Supreme Court and the five District
Courts of Appeal are subject to merit retention
elections.

From Conflict
of Interest to
Country First:
The Six Rules of
Relationships of
Trust

MERIT RETENTION, continued from page 6

6. Can judges who commit unethical acts be

removed from office?
Yes. This can happen after an investigation by the
Judicial Qualifications Commission. The JQC (www.
floridajqc.com) is an independent agency created
through the Florida Constitution to investigate
alleged misconduct by Florida state judges. Through
this system, judges have been removed from office.

by Maureen F. Glasheen Esq.

This talk from 2009 presented in 6 parts in the The
Enlightened Voter eloquently describes what are
the Six Rules of Relationships of Trust and how many
of our legislators and business critters should go to jail
for breaking those rules! [ed.]

7. Can appeals court judges and Supreme

Court justices state their views on issues
that may come before them?
Canon 7 of the Florida Code of Judicial Conduct
forbids judges and justices from saying how they
will decide future cases. Judges and justices must
remain impartial and decide cases without regard
to their personal views or beliefs.

Part 3 of 6

Relationships of Trust

Rule One: Loyalty

(Duty of Good Faith and Undivided Loyalty)

Intent When you are in a Relationship of Trust,
your agents/employees owe you their undivided
loyalty. They may not conduct your business with
an intent to benefit themselves or others.

8. Can I read the opinions of the judges and

justices in cases they decided?
Yes. Records of judges decisions can be found on the
decision pages of the websites for the District Courts
of Appeal and the Florida Supreme Court and through
www.floridabar.org/TheVotesInYourCourt.

Types of Conflict of Interest It turns out that

the biblical admonition that one cannot serve two
masters has been integrated into the law. Conflict
of interest is first and foremost disloyalty. There
are three types of conflicts of interest:
1. self-preference
2. self-dealing
3. dual agency.

9. Can I watch videos of the justices and

appeals court judges at work?
Yes. Court arguments are webcast live and archived
on court websites.
10. How can I learn more about judges and
justices backgrounds?
Biographies are on court websites, accessible through:
www.floridabar.org/heVotesInYourCourt.

1. Self-preference
Disloyalty is called self-preference when your
agent (employee) uses his position (which provides
him access to power or money or information) to
advance his own interests at the expense of yours,
his principal/employer)

11. How did Florida decide to use the merit

retention election system?
In the mid-1970s, Florida voters overwhelmingly
approved a constitutional amendment requiring
that the merit retention system be used for all
appellate judges. This happened in response to
public concern over abuses under the former system
of contested elections.

2. Self-Dealing
Disloyalty is called self-dealing when your agent,
(employee) agrees to transact your business on
your behalf but then he also, directly or indirectly,
becomes the adverse party in the transaction.

12. Where can I find results from prior

merit retention elections?
The Florida Division of Elections maintains a
searchable database of election results since
1978. Merit retention elections occur only during
general elections in even numbered years if any
appeals court judges or justices are nearing the
end of their terms (www.dos.myflorida.com/
elections).

Local Politics In local politics, former Palm

Beach County Commissioner Mary McCarty is
the poster child for self-dealing. As a county
commissioner she was obliged to seek lowest
fees, on behalf of the county, when employing
underwriters to help sell municipal bonds.
Instead, she steered the business to her husbands
brokerage firm and he collected about $300,000.
She is now a jail. His fees are forfeitable.

RULE ONE, continued from page 7

Consequently, when they most needed it, buyer/

borrowers had virtually:
no access to a genuine buyers agent of their
own, who could provide the expertise of
loyalty to enable buyers to obtain crucial
information especially what the house is
really worth.

National Politics In national politics, the

classic allegation of self-dealing is that former
Vice President Cheney allegedly directed no-bid
contracts to Halliburton, a corporation of which
he used to be CEO and in which he allegedly holds
stock. If proven, these allegations of self-dealing
could result in forfeiture of literally billions of fees
paid to Halliburton.

Prince John Realty

Instead, far too often,
buyer and seller ended
up with Prince John Realty where one associate
in the firm purports to
represent the buyer
and another associate in the same firm purports
to represent, the seller. Of course, both of those
guys work for the same company same boss
who wants both sides of the total commission.
No one gets honest advice or effective advocacy.

All federal and state public officer code of ethics

statutes include prohibitions against self-dealing.
3. Dual agency
Disloyalty is called dual agency when an agent
(employee) purports to represent adverse
interests in the same transaction. It is illegal for
the same person to represent buyer and seller, the
borrower and lender, landlord and tenant, plaintiff
and defendant in the same transaction. The term
double agent captures its wrongfulness.

Without reasonable checks and balances,

concentration of power and wealth driven by
unrestrained greed inevitably leads to social and
economic disasters and the economic enslavement
of ordinary people.

You would never go to law firm that was

willing to represent the plaintiff and the
defendant in the same litigation because the
interests of the plaintive and defendant are
fundamentally adverse. The double agent
must be necessarily disloyal one or the other
of the parties. Thats why its always been
illegal.

End of Part 3
Look for Rule 2 in our
July 25 issue of The Enlightened Voter.

[Maureen F Glasheen was the former General Counsel to the

New York Department of State for a decade. This discussion
of the six rules of relationships of trust is a general education
program. It is not intended to provide legal services, analyze
particular fact patterns, or serve as a class on Florida law. Ms.
Glasheen is licensed to practice law in New York not Florida. If
you need legal advice, she will refer you to a Florida attorney.]

Blind Item Purchases For the average buyer

purchasing a home and obtaining a purchase
money mortgage are major blind item purchases.
They need help of an expert to establish what is
a reasonable price to pay and what type of loan
is within their means and, therefore, in their best
interest.

Go to Contents >>

Disloyalty Expertise is only valuable to you

when it is accompanied by loyalty. Otherwise the
expertise may be used against you, as was (and
still is) routinely done, by real estate brokers and
mortgage brokers.

How Do They Do It? Generally, real estate

and mortgage brokerage industries have made
sure that the buyers, especially first-time buyers,
were left totally ignorant in the largest, riskiest
blind item purchase of their lives.

I am running for county commission to provide the

public with more access. I believe that currently the
public is not part of the process. I believe that staff
and commissioners only listen to those promoting
development.
Too much development is overwhelming the infrastructure of the
county. It results in unmet needs and is the cause for the county
to ask for a sales tax increase that will burden the poor and the
middle class.
