Bush camp has gone berserk

Media provide a forum for the madness

By Bev Conover
November 19, 2000

With each passing day, America is beginning to look more and more like Nazi
Germany.

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.

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

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.
