The improprieties in the Florida election did not occur any more often than any other state or any other election. Perhaps before the voting rights act. The effort to selectively disenfranchise black voters had not been seen since the Jim Crow laws were struck down. TP

Ted, let's get one thing clear. The improprieties in the Florida election did not occur any more often than any other state or any other election. Yes, the problems were worse than other states. We had a close senatorial race here in WA state. State law required a recount. There were few improprieties and the recount was done in a few days. FLA behaved like a banana republic. And Mr. Bush's bro runs it. I guess incompetency runs in the family. ;~) By the way, I don't care if Gore supporters have a bad taste in their mouths. That's their problem. The few who are trying to make it everyone else's problem give the rest a very bad name. Go read the Constitution. You gave yourselves a very bad name running to the USSC. Stop trying to pass off the blame on someone else.
