Really? << the added advantage that she has not worked in the campaign of the person that she would attempt to certify>> Monday November 13, 2000; 1:15 PM ET Palm Beach Election Official Hobnobbed with Gore Palm Beach County election official Carol Roberts is a well-connected Democrat who has traveled extensively in recent years on the taxpayer's dime, including trips to the White House where she hobnobbed with Vice President Al Gore, NewsMax.com has learned. Roberts is one of two Democrats on the Palm Beach election canvassing board who voted to conduct a controversial hand recount of the county's votes this weekend. A third board member, Republican judge Charles Burton, voted against the recount. "On a national level, Roberts says her leadership role has enabled her to make contacts with Washington power brokers," reported the Palm Beach Post in July 1999, "including Vice President Al Gore, whom Roberts met at the White House...." Roberts told the Post that her junkets to Washington as Palm Beach County commissioner, as well as other sojourns around the country, translate into big bucks for the county. "An elected official who spends her time wisely can bring home a great deal of knowledge that benefits [her] constituents," she explained. "Roberts has spent more money crossing the country during this time than any other commissioner," the paper reported.
