How they would vote is irrelevant. Harris probably knew there was a good chance that the over 50% minority voters present in that gang wouldn't vote for GWB. Intentional disenfranchizement is a violation of human rights. Canadians are concerned people and have every right to address basic human rights violations in the USA. And they do...

lETS SAY THE LIST WAS ONLY 15% INACCURATE, THAT IS ABOUT 8,400 PEOPLE . IF 25% OF THOSE PEOPLE VOTED AND VOTED 70% DEMOCRATIC , BOTH PROBABLY LOW, THAT WOULD BE 1,470 PEOPLE VOTING FOR GORE AND AND 630 PEOPLE VOTING FOR BUSH GIVING GORE A LEAD 840 VOTES , MEANING GORE WOULD HAVE BEATEN BUSH BY 303 VOTES, AS BUSH WAS AHEAD BY 537 VOTES. THAT IS ONLY ONE OF THE TRICKS THE GOP USED; IN FACT IF VOTES WERE PROPERLY RECORDED AND COUNTED IN DUVAL COUNTY, GORE WOULD HAVE WON BY THOUSANDS OF VOTES IN FLORIDA.

The 57,700 purged voters are public record, you boob. No one is denying they were purged. And no one is denying that a huge percentage of them were legal voters. Choicepoint the GOP-owned consulting group who did the purging for Jeb (getting a contract despite charging twice as much as a non-partisan bidder) admit they make "mistakes". But it was all deliberate. It's called stealing the election for Jeb's little brother. And it worked.

What, you think Rove doesn't try to steal elections? Rove has no ethics at all. He is not only a Lee Atwater duisciple, he is to the right of Lee Atwater. He is not above any dirty trick or election fraud. His only rule is "don't get caught", which is why harddrives were erased before things were decided in Florida 2000.

Gore got 91% of the black vote. So if let's say a conservative estinmate, 10% of the disenfranchised 57,700 mainly black voters had been allowed to vote, then only 10% of those actually voted for Gore. So one in a hundred only. Gore still should have won.

And this is just part of the overall Bushie cheating. It went far beyond just voter roll purging based on deliberately false "ex-felon" identification.

BTW, When felon Tom Delay gets out of prison in 2013, should he have the right to vote?
