complaints have been registered by voters who went to the polls to vote NO on the anti-gay ballot measure, but were prevented from doing so. In some precincts, there was no ability to vote on any initiatives. In others, voters have complained that when they voted NO on the anti-gay ballot measure, YES votes appear to have registered instead.
I think this is another reason why Reno will fight in court and demand a recount - her gay supporters demand it because of that ballot initiative. Meanwhile, Bill McSlide has consistently refused to back gays on this issue. FL's Dem gay voters know he will not represent them. Reno is the only hope for these voters, so she will keep the Dem Party divided. There will be no political price for Gov. Bush, but the Dems will be in disarray in FL, as usual.

Well, this should forever put the "Bush stole Florida" nonsense to bed.

This is what I think is going on. Reno will fight to the end because of this amendment for her base. McSlide will not touch this issue.

Should be a great lawsuit against the companies who provided the machines I think.
That would be where the guilt belongs.

Hmmm, it seems the "dark forces" behind the electronic voting screwed up in their voter fraud - the machines should appear to work correctly, and not tip off the voter his vote is counted otherwise. I'm sure some 18 year old techie can fix that.
Without paper ballots, no recounts. Very, very convenient.

Amazing. Yet more voting machines that can automatically detect gays, Jews, or blacks. Incredible. They oughta patent that.

Those new voting machines must make it hard to vote 10 times.

This is great. Another post election circus in the sunshine state.
Floridians wouldn't be happy if they weren't embarrassing themselves.

"In 2000, African Americans in southern Florida were denied the right to vote and to have their votes counted. And another disproven myth becomes the truth in the minds of the "oppressed"...

IMHO, this whole Florida 2000 redux is a petri-dish for further Demofraud attempts in the future. If it isn't, it will still be one by default. Let's see how far and how often the legal envelope can be pushed, in other words. Another piece of Incrementalism, if you will.

In 2000, African Americans in southern Florida were denied the right to vote and to have their votes counted. In 2002, the gay and Jewish communities are facing the same inexcusable fate," said Lorri L. Jean, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task ForceWhy is it whenever one of these "protected groups" has a vote go against them, there's always thousands who were either denied their right to vote, or their vote wasn't counted?

Was the interview delivered by a guy with a lisp, draped in a rainbow flag? They are a sneaky bunch those durn wackos! You can't tell the "spokeswomen" from the reporters without a scorecard (no pun intended) these days. Seriously though, WHY is it significant what, if anything, this amoral organization has to say? Query: If the aforementioned "gay blade" made a speech and nobody listened... would there have ever been a speech?
