Voting Irregularities in Florida During the 2000 Presidential Election

Sirs:

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights held public hearings in Tallahassee on January 11–12, 2001, and in Miami on February 16, 2001. The purpose of the hearings was to investigate allegations that Florida voters were prevented from casting ballots or that their ballots were not counted in the November 2000 presidential election. The Commission initiated this investigation after it received allegations of widespread voter disenfranchisement in Florida. The Commission is authorized—and obligated—to investigate claims of deprivations that are “a result of any pattern or practice of fraud,” or that infringe on the right of citizens “to vote and have votes counted.”

The Commission’s investigation sought to determine whether isolated or systematic practices and/or policies by governmental entities denied eligible Florida citizens their right to vote. The investigation focused on who was responsible for making the critical decisions regarding resource allocations for Election Day activities, the reasons these decisions were made, and the effect these judgments had on specific communities.

During the hearings, the Commission received testimony from more than 100 witnesses, including the governor, the secretary of state, the attorney general, a representative of DBT Online (the company involved in state-sponsored removal of felons from Florida’s voter registration lists), the director of the Florida Division of Elections, the general counsel of the Florida Elections Commission, and the co-chairperson and executive director of the Select Task Force on Election Procedures, Standards and Technology established by the governor. Additional testimony was also heard from current and former Florida state and county officials, including county supervisors of elections, county commission officials, and law enforcement personnel as well as experts on election reform issues, election laws and procedures, and voting rights. Registered Florida voters also testified on the obstacles they encountered when attempting to participate in the November election. Both hearings included an open session in which the public was invited to testify about election procedures or personal voting experiences in the November election.

The report generated by the hearings, Voting Irregularities in Florida During the 2000 Presidential Election, concludes that many eligible Florida voters were, in fact, denied their right to vote, with the disenfranchisement disproportionately affecting African Americans. The report also contains recommendations, stressing that any electoral reform must include clear guidance, responsibility and accountability measures that include effective monitoring, and adequate resources to ensure meaningful implementation of these recommendations.

This thread started out as a thread roughly about civil disobedience. How in the hell did it get to be about elections? :confused:
 
how long do the pigs think people will sit back and take it? Once a few cops are shot at and treated how they treat protestors then the real revolution will occur


The sprayed them...They did not force pepper spray down anyone's throats. Get a grip on reality.

It was projected a couple of inches from their faces.

You just love facism huh?

Your sense of distance is as finely honed as your sense of reality.

What EVER gave you the idea that I am a 'right winger'? Don't read any better than you spell do you! :lol:
 
With that sort of price tag on tuition, damn straight I would want the cops to clear out those infringing on my access to buildings I paid dearly to have access.

But, the OWS have 'special' rights, don't they?

:rolleyes:

Exactly. They are not 'protesting' they are blocking entrance to a service which others have paid good money for.

The elections have been stolen , the people are having to take to the streets to defend our democracy from those hwo purchased the republican party and are now trying to purchase the rest of this country outright.

and who do you defend?
 
Why not protest the salaries the professors get. That's one of the reasons why tuition is so high. Cut faculty salaries.

Let the real civil war begin! We need it. Have needed it for a long time.

Civil war would end this country as we know it, which is what the communists want. If people would be patient and let there voice be heard at the ballot box this would all end much sooner. We dont need a civil war, we dont need a revolution, we need responsible politicians in office, from both sides.

How can our voices all be heard when the republican party CHEATS in elections to KEEP Americans they dont agree with from voting?

Oh god, the dumbass showed up.

Sprayed in their faces.... not forced down their throats.
 
Your party cheats in elections.


You defend their cheating.


Lincoln would spit on you

Well of course he would! That Lincoln was well known for his spitting. Wonder how he'd feel about what the Kennedy's pulled off back in 1960? Probably have to hawk a big ole loogie on JFK...
