Alleged chicanery

[DAVID E. BERNSTEIN]

I'm just wondering if Paul thinks that we should go through the voter
roles in Florida and make sure that all the voters were (1) citizens;
(2) otherwise eligible to vote (e.g., non-felons); and (3) actually
exist.   It strikes me as at least plausible that large Democratic
counties and cities in Florida wouldn't have much incentive to check
these factors, and that Miami in particular has a history of election
fraud.

I am glad Eugene is reading science fiction again; it is no doubt
helpful for his analysis.  The fact is, we have reports that seem valid
of 1) state police stopping balcks on the way to vote in North Florida;
2) I assume the Gov. of the state has ultimately responsibility for the
state police; 3) we have an extraordinary number of spoiled ballots in
just one county and apparently *all* or almost all  of them are involve
Gore and almost none involve Bush; 4) unlike other states, where the
machines record votes, the hold punshing process in Florida makes fraud
and spoiling ballots quite easy; 5) we had rumors on the night of the
election of missing ballot boxes (these were reported on all the
networks);  6) the Jews in Palm Beach County are primarily elderly, and
thus the duping is an aspect of age discrimination.  7) there are
allegations of voters being turned away because they were in line, but
the polls had closed and 8) there are allegations that voters were told
they polling places had "run out of ballaots."
