Speaking of elevators, speaking in an elevator got a Judge in trouble today in Florida:

Meanwhile, the judge presiding over lawsuits by voters challenging the validity of Palm Beach County's presidential ballot recused himself Monday after an attorney claimed he made prejudicial comments about the election and the ballot.

A motion filed Monday afternoon accused Palm Beach County Circuit Court Judge Stephen Rapp of telling a lawyer in a courthouse elevator that he had done his part to make sure "the Democrats are run out of the White House." A half-hour later, the motion says, the judge "made remarks in open court to the effect that he was familiar with the dispute over the form of the general election ballot in Palm Beach County and that anyone who made the mistake of voting for someone whom they did not intend to vote had no legal right to complain."

Rapp called the allegations "absolutely false," but decided to withdraw from the case after taking a half-hour recess Monday afternoon to consider the motion.
