U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar, said nothing Oliphant is accused of rises to the level of misdeeds he thinks were committed by former Secretary of State Katherine Harris in the 2000 election. He said Bush would face the wrath of black voters in the November election if he removes Oliphant.
I dare the governor to remove her, Hastings said. Hell create a firestorm that will eclipse the one he created in the One Florida plan. Hell need Katherine Harris to count the votes for him again.
Racism at it's worst.
