Paul,

What they're not talking about is that a lot of felons legally banned 
from voting did vote than were barred.

The ACLU sued to stall the Gray Davis recall vote till they got the 
evoting machines put in. In a few months they'll join the suits to throw 
out election results based on evoting machines.

They didn't raise a peep when a judge here in S. Florida three out 
totality of absentee ballots in the mayoralty election for Miami (that's 
right, he nullified them by decree). The winner of that vote, Xavier 
Suarez, had already executed mayor's duties for several months. The 
judge's decision /changed the election results/ from him to Carrollo.

His reasoning was that too many were fraudulent votes. Heck, how many of 
those could you dredge up in about any precinct in America? The local 
press hated him. ('Course "local press" means a national chain).

I think Xavier Suarez angered the "it's not a baby" crowd and his own 
Democratic Party because the first thing he did as mayor (in a term 
before) was proclaim a "Respect Life" day. Nobody anywhere protested 
this decision except a whole bunch of people in Miami.
