See a photo of the contested Palm Beach ballot: http://a388.g.akamai.net/f/388/21/15m/www.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1 1/09/election.president/large.ballot.ap.jpg Now THIS was a stupid thing to say! The dope brought race into it! >From the cnn site: ---- [Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Florida, whose district includes Palm Beach County, said 19,000 ballots were thrown out -- without being counted -- because the voters mistakenly voted for two presidential candidates due to the confusion. Wexler said those votes were concentrated in African-American communities -- which traditionally vote Democratic.] ---- He should have said "Traditionally democratic" and left it at that. What does it matter where their ancestors came from? Now I understand why Rev. Jackson is involved though. BTW, the Dems's man Deutsch is now saying that the sample ballot, available before the election, did not match the actual ballot. This works in favor of the Democrats contention that the ballot is "illegal", I would think. I imagine it's a subjective opinion about whether it "matches" or not. My private drama: "It matches." "No it doesn't." "It matches." "Well, in this democrat county, I assure you, it doesn't match!" So it goes, Jim
