Black Republicans Suffered Worst in Florida Vote Count
The most interesting aspect to emerge from the media's Florida presidential election recount efforts may be this: Republicans - black Republicans, to be specific - suffered the highest rate of ballot spoilage by far.
"At first glance, the numbers confirm the disturbing claims, repeated often this year, that African-American ballots were 'spoiled' - that is, not counted because they showed either no vote for president or multiple votes - at higher rates than the ballots of other groups," wrote John R. Lott Jr. and James K. Glassman in Monday's Los Angeles Times.
"But if spoiled ballots do indicate disenfranchisement, then the new data show that, by a dramatic margin, the group most victimized in the Florida voting was African-American Republicans," the duo contended.
"The new findings show that African-American Republicans who voted in Florida were in excess of 50 times more likely than the average African-American to have had a ballot declared invalid because it was spoiled."
Another heretofore overlooked detail uncovered by Lott and Glassman: Among white voters, Republicans were much more likely than Democrats to have spoiled ballots.
"We found that the overall rate of spoiled ballots was 14 percent higher when the county election supervisor was a Democrat and 31 percent higher when the supervisor was an African-American Democrat."
The new numbers suggest that there may have been a concerted attempt to suppress the votes of more than 20,000 of the Sunshine state's black Republicans, Lott and Glassman said.
