I'm not the simpleton who recently posted that 'Gore won the 2000 Election' based on Michael Moore's talking points [You did!]. I'm the researcher who posted over a half dozen articles proving that you and Michael Moore are wrong about the election.]/quote]
It is pretty sad that our national media are not up to the task of keeping the public informed of the broader complexities of this matter they unfold. It shouldn't be left up to fat slobs in baseball caps to show real, uncorrupted film footage and bring together real facts from the easily researched public record/ to tell us the truth.
You have already harped about the military ballots which they claim the Gore team got thrown out. Did you ever look into the laws of Florida I posted about the criteria established by Republican Secretary of State Katherine Harris?
You don't want to educate yourself. It's easier to blather nonsense than look into fact sources and evaluate them on your own.
The GOP apparently has no qualms about the disenfranchisement of thousands of other voters, who would be missed if hand recounts did not go forward. How can you say you really care about those veterans whose votes were never counted?
Reseach THIS:
*Ballots ran out in certain precincts.
*Carpools of African-American voters were stopped by police. In some cases, officers demanded to see a "taxi license."
*Polls closed with people still in line in Tampa.
*In Osceola County, ballots did not line up properly, possibly causing Gore voters to have their ballots cast for Harry Browne. Also, Hispanic voters were required to produce two forms of id when only one is required.
*Dozens, and possibly hundreds, of voters in Broward County were unable to vote because the Supervisor of Elections did not have enough staff to verify changes of address.
*Voters were mistakenly removed from voter rolls because their names were similar to those of ex-cons.
*According to Reuters news service, many voters received pencils rather than pens when they voted, in violation of state law.
*Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot.
*The Miami Herald reported that many Haitian-American voters were turned away from precincts where they were voting for the first time.
*The mayoral candidate whose election in Miami was overturned due to voter fraud, Xavier Suarez, said he was involved in preparing absentee ballots for George w. Bush.
*CBS's Dan Rather reported a possible "computer error" in Volusia County, Florida, where James Harris, a Socialist Workers Party candidate, won 9,888 votes. (He got only 583 in the rest of the state).
*George Bush is a cocaine-addled dry drunk who has raised a dysfunctional family and confessed himself he doesn't read to educate himself. Only for fun. Are you having fun, BillyBob?
*Many African-American first-time voters who registered at motor vehicles offices or in campus voter registration drives did not appear on the voting rolls, according to a hearing conducted by the NAACP and televised on C-SPAN
*The London Times has reported a suspected pro-Bush vote fraud operation in Miami involving thousands of ballots.
*Jewish precincts had a suspiciously high number of double-punched ballots, and another lost its computerized votes altogether when a poll worker "accidentally" erased them.
*The Florida Highway Patrol confirmed that the department did conduct what it called a "routine" check point near a black precinct in Tallahassee on election day. Police asked black men to get out of their vehicles and produce identification.
*African Americans received calls the weekend before the election from a speaker who falsely claimed to be with the NAACP, asking them to vote for Bush. Similar calls were reported in Michigan and Virginia.
*If you do your research, you start to notice that some accounts have verifyable detail and others make blanket ideological statements. Wheat from the chaff, people. Wheat from the chaff.
*Sandy Goard, supervisor of elections of Seminole County, admitted allowing two Republican operatives to add missing voter-identification numbers to 4,700 incomplete absentee ballot requests, mostly GOP voters -- actions that were illegal.
