Brown and Jackson Ask Court to Intervene Led by Congresswoman, Black Leaders Seek Recount
by James Ridgeway

DECEMBER 7—The wild cards in the battle for the presidency just keep
coming. A fresh round of civil rights allegations may keep the matter alive,
even if the Florida Supreme Court rules against Al Gore.

African American leaders in Jacksonville filed their own lawsuit this week in
Leon County Circuit Court contesting the presidential election. The
leaders charge that George W. Bush was certified as the winner of
Florida's 25 electoral votes only after minorities were systematically
denied the right to cast ballots.

U.S. Representative Corrine Brown, a Democrat from Duval County, is a
plaintiff, along with Reverend Jesse Jackson. "People are very upset,"
Brown told the Los Angeles Times. "They are stopping me in the grocery
stores and in church, asking me what I'm going to do about it. . . . There
is not a doubt in my mind that Al Gore won the state of Florida."
