The most interesting fact from this story is that African-American Republicans were 50 times more likely to have an overvote (i.e. both Gore and Bush punched) that AA Dems. This is strong circumstantial evidence that ballots were tampered with by election officials, such as inserting a metal wire through the "Gore" hole in a stack of cards, thereby invalidating all Bush votes.

This explains a couple things. One, how there were so many "hanging chads" for Gore. And two, why the dems never asked that overvotes be counted.

Ref: your #10. Good point, because if they had asked for the overvotes to be examined then the question of election fraud would have been raised without a doubt. I think that is what was behind Baker's always veiled references to "mischief." He was warning the dems away from that scenario, and in the final analysis, it could have been the fear of having that exposed that kept Gore at bay rather than a stupid reliance on the undervotes. Hmmm.. Food for thought, no?

Unfortunatly, this article nor anyone else is going to bring up alligations of vote tampering. In fact Terry McAwful and the DemocRATs insist that it's the GOP that deals in vote fraud.

Nail on the head, sir!

In other words, it is the isolated fact of being a Republican that makes an African American vastly more likely to have his or her ballot declared invalid.

This is just a sad example of the liberal left's attempt to keep the Presidency at any rate. They would disenfranchise their own mother if it would gain them one more vote.

I've asked for this a half dozen times on this forum; does any body have proof that only 10% of blacks voted for Bush?

I can explain this away easy. Not only do democrats commit vote fraud by fabricating new votes for their candidate, but more importantly, nullifying a vote your opponent is just as good. democrats in the inner cities do this all the time. All you have to do is punch out another chad. I have no doubt that this is what was done in the 2000 election.
