With neo-Nazis descending on Florida, frothing-at-the-mouth mad dog Karen Hughes, with Montana Gov. Marc Racicot in tow, went before the television cameras Saturday to hurl invective at Florida election workers involved in doing a manual recount of ballots in Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties, in another attempt to turn public opinion against the process and, thereby, hand the presidential election to George W. Bush. "We have clear and compelling proof that there are serious flaws in the process," Hughes charged, alluding to Republicans engaged in the recount process who have signed affidavits alleging a variety of misdeeds. Clearly spooked by the process that could give Florida to Gore, Hughes stooped even lower, claiming there is a "targeted effort by the Democratic Party to throw out as many as a third of the overseas ballots received since Election Day, many of them from the men and women of our armed services who are serving the cause of freedom throughout the world." Hughes stopped just short of unleashing the neo-Nazi Brown Shirts on Floridians who want a proper vote count and the workers endeavoring to carry it out, before she turned the microphone over to Racicot. The Montana governor accused the Democrats of wanting "to win at any cost," and launched into the usual litany about chad on the tables, chad on the floor, chad taped to ballots - chad, chad everywhere. Racicot was another instant expert on chad, punch card ballots and the infallibility of machine counting. Racicot's lowest blow was his condescending charge that elderly election workers aren't up to the recounting job. He said the 70-somethings were "exhausted" and "angry" and "frustrated," besides not being able to see as well as their younger colleagues. And while the man who says he is a "uniter not a divider" is kept hidden in Texas, his minions have gone from lobbing verbal hand grenades to throwing bombs. And the major television media and the right-wingers in the print media are lapping it all up. At the rate the Bush people and Republicans are going, they soon will spur their goons to spill blood in the streets. The media will relish that, because it makes for great pictures and copy. What can we expect from a media who has given Bush a free pass from the start? They are deaf, dumb and blind when it comes to: An illegally obtained new Texas driver's license to hide his old record; a DUI conviction in Maine; his military record that seems to show he was AWOL; his record as Texas governor; his running mate who may have a residency problem and be ineligible to receive the votes of Texas electors. The media have expressed no outrage over Jews being called stupid; the disenfranchisement of African Americans; thousands who were denied the right to voted because they were erroneously identified as felons; Republicans being handed tens of thousands absentee ballot applications, which were returned missing voter registration numbers that the law mandates, which friendly county elections supervisors illegally fixed and sent out the ballots. Instead they provide forums for the Republicans to spew their hateful venom and mess with the minds of the American people. We can only hope that the GOP's effort to seize control of the White House is as transparent to the majority of Americans and especially to the courts that now hold our fate in their hands. We have no Edward R. Murrow or Walter Cronkite to expose what is going on for the world to see. Not speaking German, yours truly over the years has viewed hour upon hour of films about Nazi Germany wondering what it was about Hitler that captivated so many Germans. While George W. Bush lacks the capacity to be another Hitler, it is the people behind him that we have to worry about. The Bush family has a history of Nazi ties. The right-wingers have long been working toward what they now hope is their day by ratcheting up the hate against all who don't share their worldview. Rage is in. Civility and tolerance are out. Compassion and empathy are no-nos. And they share the Bushes belief that if you aren't with them, you are against them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voting machine inventor painfully watching Florida election <http://www.abcnews.go.com/wire/Politics/ap20001116_248.html> 11/16/2000 by Allen G. Breed MIAMI (AP) _ William Rouverol watches the Florida ballot debacle with more than just a passing interest. After all, he designed the voting system at the center of the whole mess. "It"s sort of a matter of pride," the 82-year-old retired mechanical engineering professor said in a telephone interview from his home in Berkeley, Calif. "We tried to consider all aspects of things to try to get the thing to be as foolproof and as tamperproof as possible." Rouverol designed the Votomatic Voting System in the early 1960s with Joseph Harris, a colleague at the University of California at Berkeley. It was created to make use of IBM"s porta-punch computer card system. When it was unveiled in 1963, then-Gov. Edmund G. Brown said it would "revolutionize the system of voting in California." It did. But as we"ve all learned these past two weeks, nothing is foolproof. Officials in several Florida counties have spent days arguing over bits of paper divots called chads that may have kept the poll machines from properly counting votes. The wrangling has prevented the country from declaring its 43rd president. The conflict is most intense in Palm Beach County, where a specially designed "butterfly ballot" has been blamed for confusing some into voting for Reform Party nominee Patrick Buchanan instead of Democrat Al Gore. Rouverol and Harris, who died in 1985, had discussed the two-page format when they invented their machine. "We were very set on not using both sides of the page, because things that might confuse people, we felt, should have been avoided," he said. "The butterfly ballot? No way." Rouverol said a programming error in the machines that read the ballots might have caused the mix-up in Palm Beach County. He noted that the county was heavily Democratic and would have been expected to go for Gore in a big way. "I can see why there"s a pretty good reason why the Republicans are so concerned about the hand recount," he said. "It sounds to me that the glitch is in the programming, not the butterfly ballot. Whether it"s purposeful or accidental, I"m not prepared to say." County officials have maintained that the machines functioned properly, and that human error was to blame for any ballot irregularities. The company that manufactures the actual ballots is also deflecting blame. "I don"t believe that our ballots are at the center of it," said Hugh Webb, general manager of California-based Sequoia-Pacific Systems Corp. "I think that the handling of and the scrutiny that"s being given to them is more the attention-getter than the physical object itself." Rouverol said the machine"s basic design has changed little since its introduction nearly 40 years ago. The standards for manufacturing the ballots also date from the 1960s. Rouverol, who turns 83 next week, has gotten away from the voting industry and is focusing more these days on sculpture and improving gearing systems. If Harris were alive, Rouverol said he would surely try to step in and help solve the problems. He said it"s probably just as well that his perfectionist friend isn"t around to see what is happening to his brainchild. "He"d be spinning in his grave." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Missing Voting Mechanism Recovered <http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/DailyNews/florida_votamatic_001115.html> Police Say Florida Democrat Had a `Votamatic' in His Car By Chris Vlasto and David Ruppe Nov. 15 � Several days after presidential votes were tallied in what has become the hotbed of Florida's post-election confusion, police in Palm Beach County confiscated a ballot-box mechanism from the car of a well-known local Democrat. The mechanism, called a "Votamatic," did not contain any ballots. It's a device used on some types of ballot boxes to punch votes through ballot cards, which are then tallied by computers. According to a police report filed at the Palm Beach County sheriff's office and obtained by ABCNEWS, Irving Slosberg, 53, pulled the mechanism from his car and handed it over to police on Nov. 11 after denying to a county government employee that he had it. When told of the incident, Palm Beach County's supervisor of elections, Theresa Lefore, declined to press charges, according to the report. "She noted that this incident did occur during the hand count of the presidential election and Lefore stated she did not wish to pursue further this matter at this time due to extenuating circumstances," it said. No further action was taken. County Official Contacts Authorities Slosberg, a 53-year-old resident of nearby Boca Raton who owns a handbag company, recently won a seat in the state Legislature amid allegations he tried to buy his election. The unidentified officer who filed the report had been working a special elections detail when he was contacted by Denise Cote, director of public affairs for Palm Beach County. Cote said she believed Slosberg had an official Palm Beach County ballot box, according to the police report. Cote told the officer she first wanted to speak with Slosberg alone to convince him to give the machinery back, but she asked the officer to stand by. Ten minutes later, Cote returned to the officer and said Slosberg had become confrontational and denied having the mechanism. "I asked Mr. Slosberg to return it to me, and he said no, he intended to use it," Cote told ABCNEWS.com. She said Slosberg did not say how he wanted to use it and he declined to say how he had obtained it. "I was told by the county's attorney's office that it must have been taken from a voting booth, because there was no other way that he could have obtained it," Cote said. When the officer asked Slosberg whether he had the item, Slosberg led the officer to his car and handed over the Votamatic, according to the police report. ABCNEWS tried to contact Slosberg, but he was not available for comment. Elected After a Recount Slosberg won his new seat during a heated and extremely close election. Just days before a Democratic runoff, which he won, his opponent, incumbent Curt Levine, filed a state ethics complaint, accusing Slosberg of trying to buy the election by giving away thousands of handbags and paying retirees phony consulting fees. Slosberg's defeat of Levine practically guaranteed him a term that reportedly pays nearly $27,000 a year for representing the Boca Raton district. On Nov. 7, he defeated a lesser-known write-in candidate, Robert A. Sloan III, in the general election. In the primary election, Slosberg had barely squeaked past Levine. He reportedly had 50.5 percent of the votes to Levine's 49.5 percent. Slosberg was declared the winner after a recount of the votes. `It Disappeared' A Palm Beach Post political columnist wrote Monday that Slosberg had been "schlepping" the mechanism around the county government center "like a traveling election equipment salesman." "He was happy to provide a demonstration of the county's ballot problems for anyone with a TV camera last week," wrote columnist George Bennett. But Slosberg was no longer toting the visual aid Saturday night, after Mary McCarty, a Palm Beach County commissioner, demanded to know how he got his hands on a piece of official county voting machinery, Bennett wrote. "It disappeared," Slosberg said Sunday when asked about the Votamatic. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katherine Harris' love of law is newfound By George McEvoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Wednesday, November 15, 2000 Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, a staunch Republican, enjoys laying down election law to the Democrats, but she has not been too fastidious in her own political endeavors. Her background includes a fund-raising scandal in which five of her supporters were indicted and pleaded guilty, with one going to federal prison. She also has spent a small fortune in public money to travel all over the world, and used taxpayers' money to pay for a purported nonpartisan, public service, get-out-the-vote ad that featured a prominent backer of George W. Bush. In 1994, Ms. Harris ran for a seat in the Florida Senate, representing Sarasota and Charlotte counties. The fourth generation of a wealthy Florida family -- she is the granddaughter of the late citrus baron Ben Hill Griffin -- she had never before held any elective office, although she had been a Republican activist for some time. Employees of an insurance company named Riscorp Inc. were told by their boss to write checks totaling more than $30,000 for the Harris campaign. The workers then were illegally reimbursed by the company with "bonus" checks. Unfortunately for Riscorp, all the envelopes bore the same return address, a post-office box number, which seemed suspicious to federal authorities. A federal investigation turned up a memo, written by an executive secretary for Riscorp, saying: "Katherine's office called and asked if we could give them different addresses to list for each of the checks. All the checks show the P.O. Box 1598 address and if we submit these, the newspaper will probably make the connection and track them all to Riscorp." Ms. Harris returned the $30,000 as soon as she heard of the investigation but later denied knowing about the checks. As for the mysterious memo about the postal address, Ms. Harris said "they" -- presumably her campaign workers -- might have requested different addresses to make it easier for her to send thank-you notes. Federal investigators said they considered Ms. Harris' campaign manager, David Lapides, to be a co-conspirator, but he denied knowing that the checks were illegal and was not prosecuted. In all, the Riscorp company was found to have given $382,000 in illegal contributions to several candidates, including the $30,000 to the Harris campaign. Five people from Riscorp pleaded guilty to various charges, including the firm's founder, Bill Griffin, who was sentenced to five months behind bars and fined a whopping $1.5 million. Susan MacManus, a political science professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa, was quoted in The Sarasota Herald-Tribune as commenting that, "I'd almost call (the Riscorp case) earth-shattering because it burned a lot of people." It apparently did not burn Katherine Harris, however, who won her race for the state Senate. And in 1996, she sponsored legislation that would have helped Riscorp at the expense of its competitors. One bill blocked the other companies from getting a larger share of the workers' compensation market, while another would have hurt a competitor of the firm, if it had passed. According to The St. Petersburg Times, at least one piece of legislation sponsored by Ms. Harris was written by Gary Guzzo, a lobbyist for Riscorp. When asked about that, Ms. Harris strenuously denied doing the Riscorp company any favors, and cited a 1995 bill she sponsored to exempt Sarasota Memorial Hospital from antitrust laws. Riscorp had objected strongly to the bill, arguing that it would give the hospital an unfair advantage over HMOs, such as the one run by Riscorp. But according to the Herald-Tribune, Ms. Harris was dating the CEO of Sarasota Memorial, Michael Covert, at the time. She also said that had nothing to do with her sponsorship of the legislation. Ms. Harris was elected secretary of state in 1998, and almost immediately began setting records for tax-supported traveling. She has billed the state more than $100,000 for travel expenses since 1999, more than any other Florida official, including Gov. Jeb Bush. It has been said that she travels so much to create an image of worldly sophistication, because she hopes to be named an ambassador if George W. Bush becomes president. To that end, she campaigned door-to-door for him in New Hampshire, and produced a "public service" ad urging Floridians to vote. Although it was tax supported and hence supposed to be nonpartisan, the ad featured retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, whose support for George W. is well-known. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gore Won't Say It But: U.S. Elections Are Racist By Monica Moorehead Nov. 23, 2000 Workers World The big-business media have strained to put a positive spin on the weeklong stalemate in the outcome of the 2000 presidential elections. But the mouthpieces of the ruling class have not been able to disguise the inherently undemocratic nature of the capitalist elections. In fact, the Bush-Gore stalemate has helped to unearth the deeply entrenched racist discrimination suffered by Black communities and others in Florida who were attempting to exercise their democratic right to vote. Thousands of undocumented immigrant workers were excluded from this process as well. Reports of African Americans, Haitians and others being denied their voting rights reveal another blatant form of racial profiling--resulting in a scandal of monumental proportions. The mainstream media haven't begun to do justice to the roots of this inequity, which will have a lasting social impact no matter which capitalist politician wins the presidency. The Nov. 11 New York Times reported that local African American and Haitian leaders are demanding a revote in Florida. This is not an unreasonable demand--if for no other purpose than to publicly expose the racist practices of the state and local boards of elections. Consider the reasons. Many African Americans stated that their names did not appear on the lists of registered voters. Polling places were so understaffed that there were not enough volunteers to deal with all the problems and discrepancies. State Representative Alcee L. Hastings, who is Black, commented that the voter turnout in a number of African American communities was as high as 85 percent and that staffing in a number of polling areas was grossly inadequate to deal with these large numbers. According to the Nov. 12 Palm Beach Post, almost half of the over 28,000 ballots thrown out in Palm Beach County were from areas heavily populated by Black and elderly voters. This amounted to 16 percent of the ballots cast by people of color and 10 percent of the ballots cast in precincts where most voters are over 65. Roadblocks were set up by police in Volusia and Hillsborough counties to intimidate and harass Black voters. In Miami, four ballot boxes full of votes were "found" after the elections. These votes came from neighborhoods heavily populated by people of color. BLACK STUDENTS TURNED AWAY, STAGE SIT-IN Bethune-Cookman and Florida A&M are two important historically African American colleges in Florida. Both held significant and successful voter registration drives. But when students showed up to vote, they were told that their names were nowhere to be found on the rolls. Those students who forced the issue wound up having to present their driver's license or some other photo identification. Other students became so frustrated that they ended up not voting. Student Ursula Harvey stated that she was turned away from a polling place where she had voted two years earlier. Harvey was told that she had to go 120 miles to another polling place, which she was unable to do. While trying to argue her point, she held up a picture of a 1960s voting-rights demonstration. The photo showed Southern racists physically assaulting Black demonstrators. Five hundred predominantly African American students from Florida A&M, Tallahassee Community College and Florida State University held a 22-hour sit-in at the State Capitol in Tallahassee Nov. 9. Their main demand was to talk with State Attorney General Katherine Harris, who did not have the decency to meet with the students to hear their grievances. Harris actively campaigned for George Bush. The Haitian community has joined the chorus of outrage over how they were treated on Election Day. Many Haitians said there were no Creole interpreters to assist them in some Miami polling stations. In others poll watchers were not allowed to assist them. A number of Haitians were threatened with deportation while seeking help at the polls. Haitian voters, like African Americans, were unceremoniously dismissed if they did not have their voter registration cards or if their names were missing from the rolls. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed due to the pressure that the Black masses put on the federal government at the height of the civil-rights struggle. This civil-rights legislation was part of Black people's ongoing battle to finish the democratic revolution that began after the Civil War with Reconstruction. Over the years, the state and federal courts have eroded the effectiveness of the 1965 act, especially in the area of proportional representation. Voting districts with a majority of people of color have been more likely to elect nationally oppressed representatives. This right has been severely restricted by the courts, which have allowed officials to redraw the districts to guarantee a majority of white voters. Close to one in three African American men in Florida have lost their right to vote because they've been branded with the title "convicted felon." In many ways Florida is a modern-day plantation with Gov. Jeb Bush as head slave master. FEDERAL GOV'T PART OF THE PROBLEM The NAACP is holding hearings in Miami to take testimony from those who were denied the right to vote. So far hundreds have spoken out. The NAACP and others hope the federal government will carry out an investigation of this scandal. That is unlikely to happen unless a groundswell of protest can be organized and sustained over a period of time. It's important to understand that the federal government is part of the problem, not part of the solution. The federal government is the big component of the capitalist state. It wants to downplay any irregularities within the electoral process, especially where racism is concerned. The federal government--like the Gore and Bush camps--wants to see this election resolved as quickly as possible because it is more concerned about the political and economic stability of the capitalist system. A mass struggle focusing on racism, separate from the bankrupt program of Democrats and Republicans, would be a threat to this stability. Gore understands that the majority of African American people in Florida supported him over Bush. The fact that he has not spoken out against this intense level of disenfranchisement indicates his gross insensitivity and dismissal of the rights of oppressed people. The bottom line is that voting for Gore or Bush does not offer any real solution to the needs of working and poor people. Equally important is the duty of every activist to defend the right to self-determination of the most oppressed- -including the right to one person, one vote. Fighting for this right is key to building class solidarity. It remains to be seen where this struggle for the democratic right to vote will lead. Every anti-racist activist should look for signs that this struggle for bourgeois-democratic rights will help spark an independent revolutionary struggle by the entire multinational working class for real political and economic rights. ---- Moorehead was Workers World Party's 2000 presidential candidate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An Activist's Youthful Indiscretion by E.J. Montini of the Arizona Republic Published on Saturday, November 18, 2000 in the Omaha Herald PHOENIX - Lorain Kadish tells me she's going to get herself arrested again and wants to know what I think about it. We have history in such matters. Back in 1988, I wrote an article about Lorain when she was among 24 protesters arrested for trespassing outside the Federal Building in downtown Phoenix. The group was rounded up while carrying a 30-foot sign that read, "U.S. troops out of Honduras." Lorain and other protesters were tried, convicted and each ordered to pay a $69 fine. She refused, along with others in the group, and was sentenced to one day in the slammer. It was a heady and romantic time. But people change. They mature. Or so you'd think. Lorain plans to join another protest that may again result in her arrest and incarceration. She plans to travel this week to Fort Benning, Ga., where she'll join thousands expected to spend the weekend protesting the U.S. Army's School of the Americas, which trains foreign military personnel in combat, counterinsurgency, counter-narcotics and more. "This is just a terrible thing for our government to be doing," she says. "So many innocent people have been killed by those we've trained there. If I have to risk getting arrested again, well, that's the way it'll have to be." Still, she wants to know what I think of her decision. "Twelve years ago," I tell her, "I was willing to write off your reckless behavior as youthful indiscretion. But you're 87 years old now." She laughs. "You'd think I'd know better, don't you?" she said. "But, I'm still young." Lorain was just a whippersnapper - barely in her 60s - when she started getting into trouble, once chaining herself to the doors of the Arizona Public Service building to protest the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. Lorain figures she has a vested interest in trying to "inflict peace," since she is a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She and her husband, Frank, recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. She has seen a lot. To her, the Bush-Gore fight for the presidency is silly. A six-of-one, half-dozen-of-the-other argument. "I'm a Nader supporter," she said. "I hope and believe the Green Party will get stronger and stronger." Lorain takes no medication and describes herself as healthy as a horse. For the protest at Fort Benning, however, she's bringing along a walker. She plans to festoon it with small American flags. "I don't need a walker, of course," she said. "I get around fine. But, it makes me look older than I am. Which might help get the message out that this school, which has been supported by Democrats and Republicans alike, should be closed down." She makes no apologies for such mischievous behavior. But then, she's only 87. Maybe she'll grow out of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undercover officers arrested during GOP convention <<http://www.nando.net/noframes/story/0,2107,500280232-500439830-502820740-0,00.html>http://www.nando.net/noframes/story/0,2107,500280232-500439830-502820740-0,00.html> By JENNIFER BROWN, Associated Press November 15, 2000 PHILADELPHIA - Four state police officers working undercover as protesters were arrested along with dozens of activists who were blocking a busy downtown intersection during the Republican National Convention, a prosecutor said Wednesday. State police officials confirmed that at least six undercover state troopers were arrested during the protests last summer, despite vigorous denials from state and city authorities during the convention that any officers were infiltrating activist groups. "We found out about it when we reviewed the videotape and began preparing the case for trial," Assistant District Attorney Trevan Borum said Wednesday. "As soon as we became aware of the arrests, as is our responsibility, we made full disclosure to (defense attorneys)." The activists have alleged that authorities overstepped their bounds in preparing for the nearly 10,000 activists who flocked to the city for the GOP convention July 31-Aug. 3. "It makes all the more clear that the behavior of the state police and of the Philadelphia Police Department was intended to infringe on people's First Amendment rights," defense attorney Bradley Bridge said. A search warrant unsealed in September revealed that an undercover trooper was arrested in conjunction with the raid on a warehouse on Aug. 1. It is unclear where the sixth undercover trooper was arrested. Philadelphia police are restricted from such undercover operations under a mayoral directive that has been in place since 1987. The directive says city police need the permission of the mayor, the city's managing director and the police commissioner before infiltrating protest groups. Police Commissioner John Timoney has declined to comment on the reports of undercover troopers. He was out of town and could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Of the nearly 400 people arrested in disruptive demonstrations during the GOP convention, about 200 defendants have accepted plea agreements or had their charges dismissed. About 20 people remain charged with felonies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ===================================================== "Anarchy doesn't mean out of control.
