Florida 2004 puts Florida 2000 in new light
In 2000, when the Bush brothers disenfranchised Florida blacks, when they put police cars and police dogs at minority voting places all over the state to frighten away black voters, when they denied the right to vote to felons who were disproportionately black, when punch card ballots were used which disproportionately invalidated blacks’ ballots, when George W. Bush—out of his ruthless desire to win the presidency at any cost and so avenge his father’s defeat—did all these dark and monstrous things that were a threat to our very democracy, he ended up winning Florida by a minuscule margin of 500 votes.
But in 2004, with the suspicious eyes of the world fixed on Florida, with international inspectors overseeing Florida’s voting procedures, with punch card ballots banned, with Democratic activists and lawyers stationed at voting centers all over the state on the lookout for Republican mischief, Bush won Florida by 381,147 votes. Since any possibility of cheating was so rigorously excluded (as far as was humanly possible) from the 2004 Florida election, and since Bush did so much better in 2004 than in 2000, doesn’t that suggest that if there was any cheating in Florida in 2000, it was done by Democrats? Comments
It is always more likely that any vote fraud practiced is done on the Democratic side in our large population centers. Though what’s going on in New Mexico this election is at least curious.

In this last election, the Dems imported deluded liberals from as far as San Francisco and New York to guard the precincts, but it was to no avail. They were unable to fabricate even a rumor of black disenfranchisement. Posted by: Manny on November 6, 2004 1:51 PM |
