Mr. Jacobs, huh? Well, consider this:
Facts of the case, as admitted by Goard and GOP operatives:
* At the invitation of Seminole elections supervisor Sandra Goard, two GOP operatives camped out in elections offices for 15 days, unsupervised, with access to files and a computer terminal.1
* Goard separated out incomplete GOP absentee ballot requests from similar incomplete Democratic and independent absentee ballot requests.2
* GOP operatives added voter identification numbers to 2,132
absentee ballot requests that yielded 1,936 actual votes, 95% for Bush.3
* More than 550 similar Democratic ballot requests with missing information ended up in a discard box, rejected.4
* Goard denied the Seminole Democratic party the same opportunity to fix incomplete Democratic absentee ballot requests.5
* Goard admitted she had never before allowed such activity to fix incomplete absentee ballot requests in her 23 years as county elections supervisor.6
* Absentee ballots cast in Seminole split 2-to-1 for Bush,7 as did those in Martin County where similar selective completion of GOP absentee ballot requests occurred8 (Bush won 56% of the total vote in both counties9).
* Absentee ballots had also split 2-1 for Miami Mayor Xavier Saurez, ousted by a Florida court in 1998 for widespread absentee ballot fraud.10
