Back during the 2000 election, the Democrats reached for their old standby, the "race card" (they don't go anywhere without it). The Democrats claimed that punch card machines were forced on poor, urban minority communities. A FReeper went to the Florida Secretary of State's website and determined which localities used punch card machines. They then corrolated that against census data and found that the Democrats were just knee-jerk race baiting. Punch card machines were more likely to be used by rich, suburban conservatives. That's a good analysis to circulate to national and local media, as well as talk radio. Who's got a link to that? There was also a study done on a national scale by professors from University of Maryland and the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Their results can up with the same thing on a national scale. It came out in Feb 2001 I seem to recall. Looks like the California Court is like the New York Times. The NYT will report Huricane Isabell as "Terrible Storm, Women and Minorities Hurt Worst". Your assistance please in finding the FR thread, and that national study.
When you get then, explain that the idea that punch card machines disenfranchise voters is FALSE and that studies prove it.
Our Florida thread dispells the "racist" claim, the university study dispells the notion that they are worse than other machines. In fact, they are NOT bad. Other machines have other problems.
Thanks for your help. We need to expose the California courts reasons as just emotion and not fact.

THEY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED WITH NO ACTION/SUPPORT FOR ALTERATION:
Ms. MURKOWSKI (for herself, Mr. Stevens, Mr. Burns, Mr. Craig, Mr. Crapo, Mr. Inhofe, and Mr. Smith) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Reorganization Act of 2003 H. R. 1033February 27, 2003
Mr. SIMPSON (for himself, Mr. WALDEN of Oregon, Mr. NETHERCUTT, and Mr. OTTER) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
The Claremont Institute: Balancing the Ninth There is a lack of balance on the Ninth Circuit, but it is not the one Senator Barbara Boxer would have us all believe. Of the 25 active judges currently serving on the court, 18 were appointed by Democrats (4 by President Carter and 14 by President Clinton). Only 7 were appointed by Republican Presidents (3 by President Reagan, 4 by the President George H. W. Bush). Even with the appointment of people like Cox and Kuhl, Democrat appointments will retain a 2 to 1 margin on the court, and given the high number of appointments made by President Clinton 50% of the total seats authorized on the court it will be a long time before that imbalance even begins to be corrected.
NINTH CIRCUIT COURT RULING 'TYPICALLY PREPOSTEROUS,' SAY GUN ...
BELLEVUE, WA - In a joint announcement, leaders of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) today called the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual right "A typically preposterous opinion from a court that has the worst track record in the nation for overturned decisions."
"The ultra-liberal Ninth Circuit has a reputation for being the most overturned appeals court in the country," said SAF Founder Alan Gottlieb. "Not only does the ruling run counter to extensive research supporting the Fifth Circuit's decision last year that confirmed the individual right to keep and bear arms, it defies logic and a mountain of historic scholarship. Clearly, the Second Amendment protects an individual right. The overwhelming majority of American citizens believe that interpretation, and perhaps the time has come for the Supreme Court to finally take up this issue."
"This is a good example of the type of ruling that comes out of the Ninth Circuit," CCRKBA Executive Director Joe Waldron concurred. "Recall that this is the same court that ruled the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional earlier this year. This ruling even relies on material from Michael Bellesiles, the anti-gun historian whose research has been so discredited that he was forced to resign from Emory University."
Sensenbrenner Statement on Pledge of Allegiance Resolution
WASHINGTON, D.C. - House Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-Wis.) delivered the following remarks during House debate on H. Res. 132:
"Today we will consider H. Res. 132, which expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recent ruling in Newdow v. United States Congress is inconsistent with the Supreme Court's interpretation of the First Amendment and urges the Attorney General to appeal this ruling. "Were here today because the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals continues to get it wrong.
