nudists want their own polling booth in FL

[Amby 490]

A nudist resort in Florida has had a request for a naked polling booth for the US election turned down.

Naturists at Caliente Resort, near Tampa, asked Pasco County elections officials to set up a clothing-optional polling place for their community.

Resort spokeswoman Angye Fox insisted it was a serious request, reports the St Petersburg Times.

"It's about freedom," she insisted. "People take their civic duty seriously and in many cases nudism is a very serious part of their lifestyle."

But Brian Corley, Pasco's supervisor of elections, dismissed the request as a publicity stunt.

"I think they're just doing some marketing hype," said Corley, adding he heard there was a news release by Caliente touting its request.

Corley said the request came a few weeks ago, and there's not enough time to set up a new polling place for this election. Even for 2010 would be difficult, he said.

County Commissioner Pat Mulieri, whose central Pasco district includes the resort, doubted the need for a new precinct.

"They can do absentees," she said. "They can do early voting - I mean, they do leave the place."

Hanging chads become an issue in Florida for a second time, it seems.

Are they that embarrassed to vote nude in a public voting place? Aren't they proud of their bodies? If not, can't they just wear a fig leave for a few minutes?

Didn't see any signs this morning in my polling place, like, no shirt, no pants, no shoes, no service.

Maybe the chads wouldn't have been hanging. They could have been pointing up.

I'm sure ACORN can help out nudists who left their photo IDs in their pant's pockets.
