[history]
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.
This conclusion conforms with another fact that the new data reveal: Among white voters, Republicans were much more likely than Democrats to have spoiled ballots.

First time I saw this -
I think the world is entering the endstage--- L A Times reporting truth reflecting badly on democrats --- Add this to the list of ---Mary McGrory praising Tom De Lay ---- And Sen Carl Levin (D) getting really exercised about criminal INS behavior in his senate sub-committee today.

Wait till they tie voter reform with civil rights! Then see how ominous Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton become when someone claims voter intimidation or racial discrimination. We will never be able to clean up voter fraud because the justice department will be called in...remember the call for Janet Reno to come into Florida....scary.

What is clearly true is that the Dems now believe they are
entitled to 90-99% of black votes.
If that vote percentage (which they must have to win any election) is threatened, they feel quite righteous about putting up the numbers, by any means necessary, since that reflects the "real intent" of "their" voters.

The most common way to steal elections is to disqualify undesired ballots by overvoting them. These statistics are damning!
To: SlickWillard
The irony is that those who screamed discrimination the loudest may have the most to hide. Democrats have turned *screaming loudest* into an art form. Too bad we can't learn to do the same. If not, we'll never get our message out to the sheeple.

The GOP is a victim of its own cowardness during the Clinton years.

Some readers may be surprised that black Republicans even exist in Florida, but, in fact, there are 22,270 such registered voters--or about one for every 20 registered black Democrats.

but, in fact, there are 22,270 such registered voters--What's more, the republican blacks are actually alive and actually registered themselves to vote...

I have always maintained that Bush won the living citizen vote by a large majority. That is one of the reasons that his poll numbers from the start were better than the numbers such a tight election would suggest. Only living human beings with telephones can respond to phone surveys.
