Judicial Watch Keeping Media Recounters Honest
The media's own Florida recount is just getting underway and
already there are indications that representatives for various
news agencies are bending over backwards to interpret
questionable "undervotes" for Vice President Al Gore.
Vote counters from the New York Times, the Miami Herald, the Wall
Street Journal, the Washington Post and the Associated Press are
squirreled away in a Broward County warehouse this week tallying
up hanging chads and dimpled ballots.
Also on the scene, Judicial Watch, the Washington, D.C. based
legal watchdog group that announced its intentions to conduct a
recount weeks before the press jumped in.
Predictably, some of media recounters are apparently giving the
vice president every break they can.
"One ballot in precinct 26A was tallied as a dimpled chad for
Vice President Al Gore by the Associated Press and a member of
another news group," the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
"While yet another member of the group and Judicial Watch decided
there was no vote."
"If there's a dimple we call it," Judicial Watch President Tom
Fitton told NewsMax.com Tuesday. "But we're just not going to
call dimples that don't exist."
Fitton said another ballot which had dimples for both Gore and
Bush was awarded to the vice president.
"This is crazy," said George Lemieux, a Broward County Republican
official on the scene. "Now we have 30 people with different
standards."
Maybe. But imagine what the standards would be if Judicial Watch
wasn't there.
