CREDIBILITY OF BALLOT SUIT CLAIMANTS QUESTIONED
A Nexis search of Florida newspapers shows all three plaintiffs,
Abigail McCarthy,
Lillian Gaines, and
Andre Fladell
are savvy activists with political experience, not the sort of
voters who�d be stymied by a ballot layout. Yet as the plaintiffs
at the center of a historic suit, each plans to testify that they
personally voted for Patrick Buchanan when they were aiming to
vote for Al Gore.
Lillian Gaines says she�s mortified that she might have voted for
Buchanan."I went to the polls for one specific reason, to vote
for Gore I hit the second hole. I am sure I did," she told the
Associated Press. "Somehow my right to vote had been taken away
from me."
But Gaines, now a homemaker, was for several years a member of
the Children�s Services Council, a big-budget, taxpayer-financed
group in Palm Beach County. Gaines popped up in local newspapers
in 1993 when she defended the group�s expenditure of $6,000 in
taxpayer money on a beachside retreat. "From time to time, an
organization needs to look at themselves," she told the Fort
Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel as a reason why taxpayers should put her
and her fellow council members up in a resort hotel.
Abigail McCarthy also claims she cast the wrong vote, but she�s
a County Commissioner, hardly a political na�f and presumably
someone who can navigate a ballot.
Andre Fladell, with lawyer Howard Weiss, was a guest on CNN�s
Larry King Live Thursday night. "I had no idea that in this
country you have to read zig-zag and diagonal to know who you�re
voting for," he complained. "I didn�t go there to take a test. I
went in to vote for President." He told CNSNews.com that when it
came to voting, "I wasn�t too bright."
But Fladell, dim as he may be, is more than just the
chiropractor which many news accounts say he is. He�s also a
political consultant and Democratic activist, who celebrated his
hardball approach in a 1999 interview. "Politics is the greatest
challenge," Fladell proclaimed to local journalist Harris Meyer.
"It�s where the best and worst in people comes out. You get the
adrenaline of war without having to physically hurt anyone.
