WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 10,(kNI) - Leaders of Florida's Seminole tribe filed suit today in federal court, claiming that the use of arrows on election ballots was demeaning and intimidating to Native Americans. The suit alleges that nearly 19,000 members of the tribe, who had intended to vote for George W. Bush, became so distraught at the sight of the arrows that their hands began to shake uncontrollably, causing them to mispunch the ballot. The chief of the tribe noted that many of these people left the polls in tears, and came to him saying they "knew they had punched more than one hole in the ballot." The suit calls for the scalp of the local election officials who designed the ballot

Joe, It appears the much maligned (by you) Palm Beach county canvas board has been the best friend of Gov. Bush. It they had started their manual count early this week or last week, they could have been done by the end of tomorrow, before the certification. If things had gone as expected, Gore would have a Florida majority, though unapproved by the SOS. The pressure would have been much heavier to allow the recounts. Looking into my crystal ball, I still see the US Supreme's in the future. John
