Outcast Ballots
/Voting irregularities are beginning to pile up
across the country, and unlike four years ago, this time Democrats are
less likely to take it lying down. There are already 10,000 lawyers
trained and ready to go on the Democrat side. Early voting began in
Florida last week, and in three big counties--including the cities of
Tampa, Orlando, and Fort Lauderdale--the network connection used to
verify voter identifications broke down. In Jacksonville, where in 2000
the presidential votes of some 27,000 predominantly poor black
Democrats were thrown out--many because they'd marked more than one
candidate on a ballot caterpillaring across several pages--the county
elections supervisor, citing ill health, resigned. Leading up to this
election, he faced accusations that he had failed to make early voting
equally available to blacks by not opening enough polling places. [more]
