bia, A tempest in a tea pot designed to appease a militant group that screams "racism" at every opportunity. Nothing will come of it, because nothing wrong was done in Florida during the election. Unlike places like Illinois, controlled by Chicago, there are no ruling "bosses" in Florida politics. Those that, really, know me, (which does not seem to include you) knows that I am not racist in any way against any race. I learned better when I was 6 years old at the knee of an old man that was half black, and half Cherokee. But, racism seems to be on the other foot these days. Leaders, such as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Farakhan, scream racism when none exists. Recently, in the Tampa area, four young black men stole a car. When the police attempted to make a stop, they took off at over 100MPH on city streets. When the lost control, crashed their car, and 3 of them died, the screams of racism were chanted in the streets. Had the same thing happened to a white man, or a Seminole, there would have been no outcry at all. No black people were prevented from voting unless they did not have the proper residency requirement proof. Perhaps some of the laws were not perfect, but the law is the law, and cannot be changed while the election is in progress. Any flaws in election law are being studied, and corrected, as we speak. That will be the out come of this little charade. If you want perfection, fugetaboutit!!!
