Re: Guys, don't feel too bad... you can bring Gore and Lieberman back in four(4) years! ROTFLMAO!!!!
It's over - Bush is going to lose this one, and it means he will lose Florida as well.
12/3 - BREAKING NEWS from court hearings and documents:
A Plaintiff's expert witness who examined election office records and databases will testify that a "significant number" of the voter IDs filled in by the GOP were actually incorrect, yet all accepted by Goard.2
According to sworn affidavits, Goard told two Democratic campaign workers on August 18, 2000 that she would accept no absentee ballot request that was missing a voter ID number. She "emphasized that this was required by Florida state law." When asked where to get voter ID numbers, she said her office "does not give out voter ID numbers."3
In an Orlando WDBO radio interview broadcast as GOP workers were doctoring ballots in Goard's office, Goard stated that absentee ballot requests without voter IDs would not be honored.4
12/1-3 highlights:
Maureen Dowd: "The Bushes sense trouble in Seminole and Martin Counties with those G.O.P.-doctored absentee ballot applications."5
Washington Post: In a deposition last week, "Goard said her office sorted out the Republican rejects so they could be revised, but left rejected Democratic and independent applications sitting in a discard box."6
Major stories in the Los Angeles Times (11/28), The Washington Post (11/28) and The Wall Street Journal (11/27) covered, respectively, Goard's own startling admissions, the issue of alleged fraud in the case, and a 1994 legal precedent, Roe v. Alabama, supporting a ruling against the GOP for what transpired in Seminole.
The Los Angeles Times reported: "Goard conceded that no one ever was allowed to correct applications in the past, and that her staff assisted the GOP representatives by sorting Republican applications from Democratic applications--something else that never had been done before."1
