What's funny is that their "protests" and "sit-ins" changed nothing that Jeb signed and passed. There were not 12,000 "protesters" the first time, either, and I think they got a turnout of maybe a thousand or so this year. They can't cope with their irrelevance.

Hey, Free;

Yep, I remember those "protests". They were a real joke. One thing about Carrie Meek's comment though is telling - they got a suspiciously high turnout of black voters in 2000, something like 97%. Some even disputed that there were more black votes than black voters.

Watch for major election fraud in 2002. We'd better be on guard.

Also, back in May 2000, a few short weeks after that 12,000 person protest of out-of-towners, FL voters gave Gov. Bush the highest job approval rating yet in his term, according to a Mason-Dixon poll discussed in detail in the NYT. Apparently, FL voters -- who know that there are over 150 minority groups in this state -- think that it is very fair to require the same standards for everyone. In short, the "One FL" protest did not strike a chord with FL voters. Instead, voters gave Jeb a bigger round of applause.
