The most disenfranchised/victimized group from the Florida election was the block of panhandle voters who turned around and went home befreo voting, because the major media outlets all called the state for Gore.

Anyone know those numbers? Did any of the articles even mention it?

The new findings show that African American Republicans who voted in Florida were in excess of 50 times more likely than the average African American to have had a ballot declared invalid because it was spoiled.

These results take into account a wide range of factors that influence spoiled-ballot rates, including education, gender, income, age, number of absentee votes, voting-machine type, ballot type and whether votes were counted at the precinct or centrally.

In other words, it is the isolated fact of being a Republican that makes an African American vastly more likely to have his or her ballot declared invalid.

These results are disturbing. They show that, if there was a concerted effort to prevent votes from being counted in Florida, that effort was directed at Republicans, not at African Americans.

Well, surprise, surprise! Do you think AG Bob Butterworth, Kwasi, JJ, Ms. Berry will apologize to Jeb, GW and the GOP? International papers all picked up the USCCR's racist report. The UN/NAACP is still crying racism. This is the biggest recount story of the year, IMHO.
