These black Democrats are showing more class than most of the liberals on this thread. They are acknowledging that much of the blame lies within their own ranks. Because the amount of first-time voters was so high among the Black electorate in Florida and because of the high rates of illiteracy, more attention should have been given to voter education and proper voting techniques. Hopefully, next time around, Black GOTV efforts will spend a considerably greater amount of time on voter education as opposed to simple voter mobilization. Then there are indications that Black elected officials and opinion leaders did not focus properly and quick enough in the face of voting problems and were possibly misled by local officials about voting results. blackelectorate.com
