  • What is going on in The s*itty of Alachua? Why is everybody quitting and ex-employees screaming about fraud and kick backs?

  • Remember, Alachua runs their own elections.
    Remember, Alachua invented the motto “Vote early; Vote often.”
    Congratulations to the incumbents for winning.
    Again.
