When people can get away with claiming that WPB voters were "disenfranchised," despite 450,000 getting it right, things have already gotten stupid. The term "disenfranchised," is inflammatory, gross exaggeration, and wrong. But it strikes a "hot button," especially when people like Jesse Jackson are standing in front of the cameras. What is this, the civil rights battles of the '60's? Of course not. If anybody in Florida was "disenfranchised," it was the Republican voters in the central time zone who went home en masse after the media mis-called the state for Gore while the polls were open. Those people didn't even get into the voting booth.
