Jesse Jackson should be incarcerated! Yelling fire in a theatre is not free speech - nor is JJ's mindless remarks. HT

Civil rights commission to hold hearings on Florida voter problems Monday, 11 December 2000 18:33 (ET) By KATHY GAMBRELL, Washington reporter for UPI WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights voted last week to hold hearings to investigate allegations of voter irregularities at the polls in Florida during the presidential election. Krishna Toolsie, an aide for Commission Chairwoman Mary Frances Berry, said Monday that the hearings will be held in early January. The commission plans to announce the locations sometime this week. The commission is an independent agency that investigates complaints of discrimination and civil rights violations and submits its findings and recommendations to the president and congress. Minority voters had complained that they had been turned away from the polls on Nov. 7 after workers there told them they were not registered to vote, even though they held voter registration cards. Officials the NAACP and Operation PUSH, headed by the Rev. Jessie Jackson have charged that police intimidated minorities who were in route to the polls, and that in the predominantly black Duvall County about 27,000 ballots went uncounted without the knowledge of Democratic leaders. Jackson last week filed a lawsuit in Duvall County alleging voter fraud in the thousands of uncounted ballots that elections officials failed to report to state officials. Rep. John Conyers Jr. said the U.S. Justice Department also sent civil rights investigators to Florida last week. "I am confident that it will evolve into a broader investigation," Conyers said. "It's a sensitive subject. Eighty percent of those chads were ballots of African Americans," Conyers said.
