(A) Charges Of Long Lines Orchestrated By Republicans To Suppress The Minority Vote
On June 2, 2005, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean charged that Republicans caused long lines at polling places on Election Day to suppress the minority vote. Dean stated:The Republicans are all about suppressing votes: two voting machines if you live in a black district, 10 voting machines if you live in a white district. You know, the idea that you have to wait on line for eight hours to cast your ballot in Florida theres something the matter with that. Well, Republicans, I guess, can do that because a lot of them never made an honest living in their lives.
