It will never end will it?
To: Former Military Chick
Nope. They have convinced every Black Floridian that George W. Bush personally tore up their ballot.

1 Million?
How do they get away with lying like this?
To: Former Military Chick
And yet the blacks in the panhandle aren't upset that the state was called before the polls closed.

Many of Florida's 1 million black voters still feel cheated that their votes weren't counted in the state's flawed election four years ago. It states it as fact.... I'd love to see how they figure that 1 million ballots were not counted!

If they have to educate so many of these folks on how to vote, then should I assume the 1 million that were not allowed to vote would have been another hanging chad. People that don't know how to vote probably don't even know the issues much less understand them. OH and by the way most still won't show up.

How embarassing to be a black voter in Florida. They are treated like the worlds dumbest voters.

Do they ever support these "million" numbers that they keep tossing around or are they just pulling them out of the air?
To: Former Military Chick
What rot! The Panhandle -- overwhelmingly conservative -- was disenfranchised when the MSM "accidentally" called the polls closed an hour early for the panhandle in 2000. The tens of thousands of disenfranchised conservatives in the Panhandle have the real gripe. If their votes had been counted, Bush would have won FL by over 10,000 votes.

All the supposed problems with Black voters, in 2000, seems to have occured in Democratic counties. How come President Bush is responsible for this? Just another thing that the demonrats beat to death.

The stakes are high for both Sen. John F. Kerry and President Bush. A higher black turnout probably would bolster Kerry's support because blacks backed Al Gore by a margin of 9 to 1 in 2000 That was before 9/11. I expect the margin to be about 7-3 this time.

The truth is their votes were counted last time and Gore still lost. Their votes will be counted again this time and Bush will win again.

Nope, it will never end. Just wait til after Bush wins again a month from now. We'll never hear the end of the stolen election story!
It's amazing how some misvoted ballots somehow turned into disenfranchisement then into a million blacks robbed of their rights.

This is just balantly racist on the face. The writer assumes that the Blacks in Florida were too stupid to fill out a ballot, knew they were stupid and knew they screwed up.Truth is, those voters, white or black that properly filled out the ballots got counted and Blacks know how to fill out a ballot as well as anyone else in their community.

Do they ever support these "million" numbers that they keep tossing around or are they just pulling them out of the air?You picks a number out of the air, and multiplies it by 19.
See?
And if the product ain't big enough, you multipies it by 19 again.
See?
And you repeats this process 'till the product is one million!
See?

how they figure that 1 million ballots were not counted! Actually there was ONE ballot that wasn't counted in the original count.
In the 999,999 recounts since then, it STILL hasn't been counted.

Great post! To the point and correct! bravo
To: Former Military Chick
I noticed no one ever mentions that by the networks calling FL for Gore before the polls closed in the panhandle, which was on CST, it cost Bush approximately 10,000 votes by Bob Dole's estimate.
