Democrats ask to be present for testing of Harris hard drives
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- (AP) -- The Florida Democratic Party wants to have a representative present when a computer expert checks hard drives in Secretary of State Katherine Harris' office for erased files.

Harris said Wednesday she would allow the media to inspect computer hard drives in her office, following allegations she may have allowed information sought by reporters to be erased from them.

But she said she would have a computer expert chosen by her office test the computers first to ``verify that no public records created on these two computers were destroyed.''

Democratic Party lawyer Karen Gievers wrote to Harris Thursday asking for a Democratic representative to be there when the expert, a consultant named Bill Morgan, tests the drives.

The questions arose over the release of material related to the 2000 recount by The New York Times for a story about absentee ballots.

Harris has said her office provided all the information sought by the newspaper and that she is going beyond what the law requires her to do by allowing the media to inspect computer hard drives to show that nothing was erased.
