One can only hope that you are bieng intentionally obtuse, with all of the reams and files of documentatoin there is of the roles beingi purged in Florida in 2000. Read don's linked article. Greg Palast has made an exact, irrefutable science out of voter repression study. Thanks, don. for putting it up.
A direct quote from the article:
The creation of the scrub list, called the central voter file, was mandated by a 1998 state voter fraud law, which followed a tumultuous year that saw Miami’s mayor removed after voter fraud in the election, with dead people discovered to have cast ballots.
The very article that Don linked to, admits that dead people voted.
However, when we read that same article, they say that errors 'suggest' that voters 'may' have been turned away at the poles.
So, on the one hand, there is undeniable proof that fraud took place, and on the other hand, a 'suggestion' that some 'may' have been turned away. While I am not saying none have, what basis does anyone have, of how many people had actually been turned away? I am still waiting for any kind of example, of even one person who is on record of making that claim. All I get, are the same talking points, of the 'many', or the 'thousands' or even 'many thousands' (depending on who is making the claim), but no actual credible link to an actual voter, who should have been allowed to vote, yet was not.
And as for:
These inner city districts that had inadequate voting machines. Were these in Republican, or Democrat controlled districts?
Who controlled or how any of those Districts leaned had nothing to do with it. The voting aparatus was distributed by STATE election officials and in the most glaring cases that showed up in Ohio they had been put in place in the precincts by Ohio Sec. of State Ken Blackwell, who is/was a well know GOP activist and unashamedly agressive party climber.
Around here, the voting equipment, is maintained by the district is is used in. If there is a failure of a machine due to improper maintanence/storage, it is the fault of the people in charge of that district. I assumed most places were like that, if Florida does not do it that way, I retract that statement. However, if each district is in charge of their own machines, would they not have at least a little bit of the responsibility on their shoulders?
