Who informed who to give the GOP a definite advantage: >>>Ms. Goard, the election supervisor, noticed that the numbers were missing from thousands of applications and informed an official of the Republican Party, Republican and Democratic lawyers in Seminole County said.<<< Source: 11/13/2000 The New York Times Page 19, Column 6 AP Excerpts: DECEMBER 01, 13:57 EST Democrats File Martin County Suit JEFFREY McMURRAY Associated Press Writer >>>New information about the Seminole County case was revealed in depositions taken late Thursday. The elections supervisor's office initially mailed out letters to voters who had incomplete ballot applications asking them to add the proper information. Richman said administrative assistant Charlene Pike testified in the deposition that the office stopped the practice in early October. That was around the time Florida GOP staffer Michael Leach arrived at the office to fill out the missing numbers of the GOP applications. The elections workers claimed they didn't have time to do so anymore. Workers in the elections office said in the depositions that Leach spent anywhere from 15 days to three weeks in the office, at least five days longer than previously believed. Leach testified he filled out more than 2,000 ballot applications, about half of what was previously believed, including 50 ballot requests for Democrats for whom he had voter registration numbers. Leach did his work in a warehouse housing 18 computers linked to the office's voter registration database. Election Supervisor Sandra Goard had testified that Leach couldn't have access to the database since the computers required a password. But election workers testified in the depositions that two workers were trained on the computers while Leach was working in the office, and the computers were left on while Leach was alone in the room. Under questioning, Leach denied trying to access the database.

You ready to admit yet that the GOP bumbled? Now, forgive me if I don't respond again, I've got too many other posters seeking responses. I think I've proven my case.

I don't think we have a concern about the Seminole trial. For one thing, if there were a possibility that enough ballots could be thrown out to change the election, Boies would NOT be in Tallahassee...jj ----------- Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2000 1996 Florida Supreme Court Ruling Paves Way for Seminole Dismissal If legal precedent means anything, Gore will lose any hope his team has that more than 15,000 absentee ballots will be thrown out by Florida Circuit Judge Nikki Clark. Even if Clark throws out the ballots, the Bush campaign can immediately file an appeal to the Florida Supreme Court - a very partisan body that nonetheless will be hard-pressed to ignore its own ruling four years ago.... newsmax.com ---------- More fun stuff from NewsMax: Boies May Be Blocked From Supreme Court Jack Thompson Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2000 There is presently under way an effort by an influential legal organization to block Gore lead attorney David Boies from appearing this week before the Florida Supreme Court to argue the merits of his client.... newsmax.com
