<p>Gore FIGHTS: &nbsp;Judicial Watch Wins Right to View Palm Beach Ballots  </p>
<p>I mean, what&#8217;s the problem, Al Gore?  </p>
<p>&quot;A Florida circuit court judge has ordered the Palm Beach election <br /> board to make the county&#8217;s disputed ballots available for inspection <br /> to Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, this morning. &nbsp; <br /> Circuit Court Judge Jorge Labarga said that Florida&#8217;s public record <br /> law allows citizens to inspect ballots.&quot;  </p>
<p>Miami-Dade and Palm Beach have agreed peaceably. &nbsp;But guess who is <br /> refusing? &nbsp;You guessed it: &nbsp;Broward County.  </p>
<p>What up, Al?  </p>
<p>Damn election thieves.  </p>
<p>This will finally break Gore&#8217;s balls. &nbsp;It is over. &nbsp;Fini.  </p>
<p>Give up now, Democrat election thieves?  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s a done deal. &nbsp;Fight all you want but you will do so at the <br /> expense of getting your asses kicked and GOOD!  </p>
<p>This is breaking news to me.  </p>
<p>Gore better concede now before he loses the rest of what little face <br /> he has left.  </p>
<p>I predict Judicial Watch will conclude Gore and Democrats guilty of <br /> mass election fraud.  </p>

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; election offices and selectively completed 4,700 requests &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; for absentee ballots from Republicans; incomplete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests there from Democrats were rejected. &#160;The case &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes to trial in Circuit Court on November 29. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &#160;A similar absentee &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot fraud case in 1997 resulted in the ouster of Miami &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mayor Xavier Saurez,3 who admitted this month handling &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; GOP absentee ballot forms in the 2000 election.4 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Earlier this year, Florida Republicans mailed out &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; thousands of reply requests for absentee ballots to GOP &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voters that left blank the voter ID number required by &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida&#039;s anti-fraud election law.5 &#160;Gourd, a Republican, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; contacted GOP County Chairman James Stelling, who &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; provided two workers to camp out in her offices for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; several days and fill in the missing voter ID numbers.6 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; But Gourd did not process similar incomplete requests for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballots from Democratic voters7 and refused to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; allow Democratic officials the same opportunity to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; complete them.8 &#160;Florida law requires the voter, a family &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; member or guardian to complete all information on the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot application.9 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In a parallel case, Xavier Suarez was elected mayor of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Miami in 1997 with the help of 400 absentee ballots that &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; proved fraudulent.10 &#160;A Florida District Court later &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; threw out all 5,000 absentee ballots in the contest, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; which had gone 2-to-1 for Suarez, and awarded the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; mayorship to Suarez&#039; opponent.11 &#160;A separate 1998 court &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ruling granted Florida judges broad authority to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; invalidate elections if fraud or even unintentional error &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; results in a flawed outcome.12 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &#160;Disqualification of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &#160;Suarez said that he &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#039;&#039; for the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;Dade County Republicans have a very specific expertise &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in getting out absentee ballots,&#039;&#039; Suarez told Shapiro. &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;I obviously have specific experience in this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; myself.&#039;&#039;16 &#160;Kendall Coffey, a lead attorney in the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Suarez election misconduct case, found Suarez&#039;s &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; statements deeply troubling given his past &#039;&#039;systematic &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and massive absentee ballot fraud.&#039;&#039;17 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Former Florida GOP chairman Tom Slade said that the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Seminole lawsuit could be the Democrats &#039;&#039;biggest asset&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in the election contest.18 &#160;Indeed, disqualification of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP absentee ballot &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests or all 15,000 if these cannot be identified &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; would swing Florida for Gore. &#160;Both the Suarez case &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; precedent and Florida law mandate such a remedy for this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; selective and illegal intervention to boost GOP votes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; (See http://www.campaignwatch.org for complete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documentation if you happen to be reading a copy of this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; web report.) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; A broader pattern of GOP voter fraud in Florida? &#160;While &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the facts of the Seminole County case are not in dispute &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and the mandated legal remedy should win Florida for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Gore, it is still of historical interest to consider &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether the events in Seminole were part of a larger &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; pattern of voter fraud benefiting GOP candidate George &lt;br /&gt; &gt;

<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Florida, GOP representatives entered <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; election offices and selectively completed 4,700 requests <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; for absentee ballots from Republicans; incomplete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests there from Democrats were rejected. &nbsp;The case <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes to trial in Circuit Court on November 29.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &nbsp;A similar absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot fraud case in 1997 resulted in the ouster of Miami <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mayor Xavier Saurez,3 who admitted this month handling <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; GOP absentee ballot forms in the 2000 election.4  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Earlier this year, Florida Republicans mailed out <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; thousands of reply requests for absentee ballots to GOP <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voters that left blank the voter ID number required by <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida&#8217;s anti-fraud election law.5 &nbsp;Gourd, a Republican, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; contacted GOP County Chairman James Stelling, who <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; provided two workers to camp out in her offices for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; several days and fill in the missing voter ID numbers.6 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; But Gourd did not process similar incomplete requests for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballots from Democratic voters7 and refused to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; allow Democratic officials the same opportunity to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; complete them.8 &nbsp;Florida law requires the voter, a family <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; member or guardian to complete all information on the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot application.9  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In a parallel case, Xavier Suarez was elected mayor of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Miami in 1997 with the help of 400 absentee ballots that <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; proved fraudulent.10 &nbsp;A Florida District Court later <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; threw out all 5,000 absentee ballots in the contest, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; which had gone 2-to-1 for Suarez, and awarded the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; mayorship to Suarez&#8217; opponent.11 &nbsp;A separate 1998 court <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ruling granted Florida judges broad authority to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; invalidate elections if fraud or even unintentional error <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; results in a flawed outcome.12  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &nbsp;Disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &nbsp;Suarez said that he <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#8221; for the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;Dade County Republicans have a very specific expertise <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in getting out absentee ballots,&#8221; Suarez told Shapiro. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;I obviously have specific experience in this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; myself.&#8221;16 &nbsp;Kendall Coffey, a lead attorney in the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Suarez election misconduct case, found Suarez&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; statements deeply troubling given his past &#8221;systematic <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and massive absentee ballot fraud.&#8221;17  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Former Florida GOP chairman Tom Slade said that the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Seminole lawsuit could be the Democrats &#8221;biggest asset&#8221; <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in the election contest.18 &nbsp;Indeed, disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP absentee ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests or all 15,000 if these cannot be identified <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; would swing Florida for Gore. &nbsp;Both the Suarez case <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; precedent and Florida law mandate such a remedy for this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; selective and illegal intervention to boost GOP votes.  </p>

<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; votes.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Background of Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Jeb&#8217;s unsavory <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; background suggests the possibility of an illicit extra <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; push on election day for brother George. &nbsp;As extensively <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documented here <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb</a> &nbsp;from Wall <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Street Journal and Washington Post reports, Jeb had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; lobbied for a Mob-linked HMO engaged in massive Medicare <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; fraud24 and defaulted on a $4.5 million S&amp;L loan arranged <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; through a front with no repayment schedule specified.25  </p>

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; election offices and selectively completed 4,700 requests &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; for absentee ballots from Republicans; incomplete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests there from Democrats were rejected. &#160;The case &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes to trial in Circuit Court on November 29. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &#160;A similar absentee &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot fraud case in 1997 resulted in the ouster of Miami &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mayor Xavier Saurez,3 who admitted this month handling &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; GOP absentee ballot forms in the 2000 election.4 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Earlier this year, Florida Republicans mailed out &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; thousands of reply requests for absentee ballots to GOP &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voters that left blank the voter ID number required by &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida&#039;s anti-fraud election law.5 &#160;Gourd, a Republican, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; contacted GOP County Chairman James Stelling, who &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; provided two workers to camp out in her offices for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; several days and fill in the missing voter ID numbers.6 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; But Gourd did not process similar incomplete requests for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballots from Democratic voters7 and refused to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; allow Democratic officials the same opportunity to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; complete them.8 &#160;Florida law requires the voter, a family &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; member or guardian to complete all information on the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot application.9 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In a parallel case, Xavier Suarez was elected mayor of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Miami in 1997 with the help of 400 absentee ballots that &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; proved fraudulent.10 &#160;A Florida District Court later &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; threw out all 5,000 absentee ballots in the contest, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; which had gone 2-to-1 for Suarez, and awarded the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; mayorship to Suarez&#039; opponent.11 &#160;A separate 1998 court &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ruling granted Florida judges broad authority to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; invalidate elections if fraud or even unintentional error &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; results in a flawed outcome.12 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &#160;Disqualification of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &#160;Suarez said that he &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#039;&#039; for the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;Dade County Republicans have a very specific expertise &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in getting out absentee ballots,&#039;&#039; Suarez told Shapiro. &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;I obviously have specific experience in this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; myself.&#039;&#039;16 &#160;Kendall Coffey, a lead attorney in the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Suarez election misconduct case, found Suarez&#039;s &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; statements deeply troubling given his past &#039;&#039;systematic &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and massive absentee ballot fraud.&#039;&#039;17 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Former Florida GOP chairman Tom Slade said that the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Seminole lawsuit could be the Democrats &#039;&#039;biggest asset&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in the election contest.18 &#160;Indeed, disqualification of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP absentee ballot &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests or all 15,000 if these cannot be identified &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; would swing Florida for Gore. &#160;Both the Suarez case &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; precedent and Florida law mandate such a remedy for this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; selective and illegal intervention to boost GOP votes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; (See http://www.campaignwatch.org for complete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documentation if you happen to be reading a copy of this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; web report.) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; A broader pattern of GOP voter fraud in Florida? &#160;While &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the facts of the Seminole County case are not in dispute &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and the mandated legal remedy should win Florida for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Gore, it is still of historical interest to consider &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether the events in Seminole were part of a larger &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; pattern of voter fraud benefiting GOP candidate George &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush in Florida. &#160;Answers are as yet elusive, yet it is &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; reasonable to raise this question based upon the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; following allegations, background and precedents. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; votes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Background of Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Jeb&#039;s unsavory &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; background suggests the possibility of an illicit extra &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; push on election day for brother George. &#160;As extensively &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documented here &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb &#160;from Wall &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Street Journal and Washington Post reports, Jeb had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; lobbied for a Mob-linked HMO engaged in massive Medicare &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; fraud24 and defaulted on a $4.5 million S&amp;L loan arranged &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; through a front with no repayment schedule specified.25 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Precedents of election fraud. &#160;Not too many decades ago, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot boxes from precincts supportive of rivals to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; underworld-linked political machines could sometimes be &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; found at the bottom of the river on election night. &#160;It &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; is widely believed that the Daley machine and the Chicago &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mob fixed votes to win Illinois for John Kennedy in 1960. &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The 1997 Suarez case and recent events in Seminole County &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; indeed demonstrate that election fraud is still a part of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the landscape in Florida. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; If the Bush brothers feel somehow justified in &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; retaliating for JFK&#039;s 1960 election victory, however, one &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; important distinction should be noted. &#160;After winning the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; White House with probable Mob help, JFK supported his &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, in a massive &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and successful crusade against organized crime that had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the Mafia in dire straights when Kennedy was assassinated &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in 1963. &#160;(The Mob responded to this Kennedy effort by a &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; significant shift of allegiance to the GOP, as &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; exemplified by the political transformations of proxies &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Hoffa, analogous to the South&#039;s &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; affiliation with the Democratic Party following Abraham &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Lincoln&#039;s presidency. &#160;This shift was also a consequence &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; of demographics: between the 1960s and 1980s, for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; example, organized crime had progressed from robbing &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; banks to owning and draining them.) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; No such disassociation from corrupt support would be &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; anticipated if George W.

<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &nbsp;A similar absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot fraud case in 1997 resulted in the ouster of Miami <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mayor Xavier Saurez,3 who admitted this month handling <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; GOP absentee ballot forms in the 2000 election.4  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Earlier this year, Florida Republicans mailed out <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; thousands of reply requests for absentee ballots to GOP <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voters that left blank the voter ID number required by <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida&#8217;s anti-fraud election law.5 &nbsp;Gourd, a Republican, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; contacted GOP County Chairman James Stelling, who <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; provided two workers to camp out in her offices for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; several days and fill in the missing voter ID numbers.6 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; But Gourd did not process similar incomplete requests for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballots from Democratic voters7 and refused to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; allow Democratic officials the same opportunity to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; complete them.8 &nbsp;Florida law requires the voter, a family <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; member or guardian to complete all information on the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot application.9  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In a parallel case, Xavier Suarez was elected mayor of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Miami in 1997 with the help of 400 absentee ballots that <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; proved fraudulent.10 &nbsp;A Florida District Court later <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; threw out all 5,000 absentee ballots in the contest, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; which had gone 2-to-1 for Suarez, and awarded the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; mayorship to Suarez&#8217; opponent.11 &nbsp;A separate 1998 court <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ruling granted Florida judges broad authority to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; invalidate elections if fraud or even unintentional error <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; results in a flawed outcome.12  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &nbsp;Disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &nbsp;Suarez said that he <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#8221; for the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;Dade County Republicans have a very specific expertise <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in getting out absentee ballots,&#8221; Suarez told Shapiro. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;I obviously have specific experience in this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; myself.&#8221;16 &nbsp;Kendall Coffey, a lead attorney in the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Suarez election misconduct case, found Suarez&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; statements deeply troubling given his past &#8221;systematic <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and massive absentee ballot fraud.&#8221;17  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Former Florida GOP chairman Tom Slade said that the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Seminole lawsuit could be the Democrats &#8221;biggest asset&#8221; <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in the election contest.18 &nbsp;Indeed, disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP absentee ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests or all 15,000 if these cannot be identified <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; would swing Florida for Gore. &nbsp;Both the Suarez case <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; precedent and Florida law mandate such a remedy for this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; selective and illegal intervention to boost GOP votes.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; (See <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org</a> for complete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documentation if you happen to be reading a copy of this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; web report.)  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; A broader pattern of GOP voter fraud in Florida? &nbsp;While <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the facts of the Seminole County case are not in dispute <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and the mandated legal remedy should win Florida for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Gore, it is still of historical interest to consider <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether the events in Seminole were part of a larger <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; pattern of voter fraud benefiting GOP candidate George <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush in Florida. &nbsp;Answers are as yet elusive, yet it is <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; reasonable to raise this question based upon the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; following allegations, background and precedents.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; votes.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Background of Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Jeb&#8217;s unsavory <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; background suggests the possibility of an illicit extra <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; push on election day for brother George. &nbsp;As extensively <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documented here <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb</a> &nbsp;from Wall <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Street Journal and Washington Post reports, Jeb had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; lobbied for a Mob-linked HMO engaged in massive Medicare <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; fraud24 and defaulted on a $4.5 million S&amp;L loan arranged <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; through a front with no repayment schedule specified.25  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Precedents of election fraud. &nbsp;Not too many decades ago, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot boxes from precincts supportive of rivals to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; underworld-linked political machines could sometimes be <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; found at the bottom of the river on election night. &nbsp;It <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; is widely believed that the Daley machine and the Chicago <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mob fixed votes to win Illinois for John Kennedy in 1960. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The 1997 Suarez case and recent events in Seminole County <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; indeed demonstrate that election fraud is still a part of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the landscape in Florida.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; If the Bush brothers feel somehow justified in <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; retaliating for JFK&#8217;s 1960 election victory, however, one <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; important distinction should be noted. &nbsp;After winning the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; White House with probable Mob help, JFK supported his <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, in a massive <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and successful crusade against organized crime that had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the Mafia in dire straights when Kennedy was assassinated <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in 1963. &nbsp;(The Mob responded to this Kennedy effort by a <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; significant shift of allegiance to the GOP, as <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; exemplified by the political transformations of proxies <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Hoffa, analogous to the South&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; affiliation with the Democratic Party following Abraham <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Lincoln&#8217;s presidency. &nbsp;This shift was also a consequence <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; of demographics: between the 1960s and 1980s, for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; example, organized crime had progressed from robbing <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; banks to owning and draining them.)  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; No such disassociation from corrupt support would be <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; anticipated if George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; election as a result of voter fraud. &nbsp;Five members of the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush family, including George W. and Jeb, were involved <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in questionable financial dealings, in some cases with <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; organized crime links, while former president George H.W. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush disbanded <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband</a> <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the federal organized crime strike forces in 1989, which <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; had been perhaps the government&#8217;s most successful tool <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; against the Mob in the 1970s and 1980s.  </p>

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; provided two workers to camp out in her offices for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; several days and fill in the missing voter ID numbers.6 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; web report.) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; A broader pattern of GOP voter fraud in Florida? &#160;While &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the facts of the Seminole County case are not in dispute &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and the mandated legal remedy should win Florida for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Gore, it is still of historical interest to consider &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether the events in Seminole were part of a larger &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; pattern of voter fraud benefiting GOP candidate George &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush in Florida. &#160;Answers are as yet elusive, yet it is &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; reasonable to raise this question based upon the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; following allegations, background and precedents. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; votes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Background of Florida Governor Jeb Bush.

<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Florida, GOP representatives entered <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; election offices and selectively completed 4,700 requests <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; for absentee ballots from Republicans; incomplete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests there from Democrats were rejected. &nbsp;The case <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes to trial in Circuit Court on November 29.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &nbsp;A similar absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot fraud case in 1997 resulted in the ouster of Miami <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mayor Xavier Saurez,3 who admitted this month handling <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; GOP absentee ballot forms in the 2000 election.4  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Earlier this year, Florida Republicans mailed out <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; thousands of reply requests for absentee ballots to GOP <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voters that left blank the voter ID number required by <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida&#8217;s anti-fraud election law.5 &nbsp;Gourd, a Republican, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; contacted GOP County Chairman James Stelling, who <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; provided two workers to camp out in her offices for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; several days and fill in the missing voter ID numbers.6 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; But Gourd did not process similar incomplete requests for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballots from Democratic voters7 and refused to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; allow Democratic officials the same opportunity to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; complete them.8 &nbsp;Florida law requires the voter, a family <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; member or guardian to complete all information on the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot application.9  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In a parallel case, Xavier Suarez was elected mayor of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Miami in 1997 with the help of 400 absentee ballots that <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; proved fraudulent.10 &nbsp;A Florida District Court later <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; threw out all 5,000 absentee ballots in the contest, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; which had gone 2-to-1 for Suarez, and awarded the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; mayorship to Suarez&#8217; opponent.11 &nbsp;A separate 1998 court <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ruling granted Florida judges broad authority to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; invalidate elections if fraud or even unintentional error <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; results in a flawed outcome.12  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &nbsp;Disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &nbsp;Suarez said that he <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#8221; for the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;Dade County Republicans have a very specific expertise <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in getting out absentee ballots,&#8221; Suarez told Shapiro. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;I obviously have specific experience in this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; myself.&#8221;16 &nbsp;Kendall Coffey, a lead attorney in the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Suarez election misconduct case, found Suarez&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; statements deeply troubling given his past &#8221;systematic <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and massive absentee ballot fraud.&#8221;17  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Former Florida GOP chairman Tom Slade said that the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Seminole lawsuit could be the Democrats &#8221;biggest asset&#8221; <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in the election contest.18 &nbsp;Indeed, disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP absentee ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests or all 15,000 if these cannot be identified <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; would swing Florida for Gore. &nbsp;Both the Suarez case <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; precedent and Florida law mandate such a remedy for this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; selective and illegal intervention to boost GOP votes.  </p>

<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; A broader pattern of GOP voter fraud in Florida? &nbsp;While <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the facts of the Seminole County case are not in dispute <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and the mandated legal remedy should win Florida for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Gore, it is still of historical interest to consider <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether the events in Seminole were part of a larger <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; pattern of voter fraud benefiting GOP candidate George <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush in Florida. &nbsp;Answers are as yet elusive, yet it is <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; reasonable to raise this question based upon the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; following allegations, background and precedents.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; votes.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Background of Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Jeb&#8217;s unsavory <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; background suggests the possibility of an illicit extra <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; push on election day for brother George. &nbsp;As extensively <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documented here <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb</a> &nbsp;from Wall <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Street Journal and Washington Post reports, Jeb had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; lobbied for a Mob-linked HMO engaged in massive Medicare <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; fraud24 and defaulted on a $4.5 million S&amp;L loan arranged <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; through a front with no repayment schedule specified.25  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Precedents of election fraud. &nbsp;Not too many decades ago, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot boxes from precincts supportive of rivals to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; underworld-linked political machines could sometimes be <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; found at the bottom of the river on election night. &nbsp;It <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; is widely believed that the Daley machine and the Chicago <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mob fixed votes to win Illinois for John Kennedy in 1960. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The 1997 Suarez case and recent events in Seminole County <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; indeed demonstrate that election fraud is still a part of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the landscape in Florida.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; If the Bush brothers feel somehow justified in <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; retaliating for JFK&#8217;s 1960 election victory, however, one <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; important distinction should be noted. &nbsp;After winning the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; White House with probable Mob help, JFK supported his <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, in a massive <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and successful crusade against organized crime that had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the Mafia in dire straights when Kennedy was assassinated <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in 1963. &nbsp;(The Mob responded to this Kennedy effort by a <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; significant shift of allegiance to the GOP, as <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; exemplified by the political transformations of proxies <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Hoffa, analogous to the South&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; affiliation with the Democratic Party following Abraham <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Lincoln&#8217;s presidency. &nbsp;This shift was also a consequence <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; of demographics: between the 1960s and 1980s, for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; example, organized crime had progressed from robbing <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; banks to owning and draining them.)  </p>

&gt; &gt; http://www.campaignwatch.org/hustle.htm &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Florida, GOP representatives entered &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; election offices and selectively completed 4,700 requests &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; for absentee ballots from Republicans; incomplete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests there from Democrats were rejected. &#160;The case &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes to trial in Circuit Court on November 29. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &#160;A similar absentee &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot fraud case in 1997 resulted in the ouster of Miami &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mayor Xavier Saurez,3 who admitted this month handling &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; GOP absentee ballot forms in the 2000 election.4 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Earlier this year, Florida Republicans mailed out &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; thousands of reply requests for absentee ballots to GOP &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voters that left blank the voter ID number required by &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida&#039;s anti-fraud election law.5 &#160;Gourd, a Republican, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; contacted GOP County Chairman James Stelling, who &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; provided two workers to camp out in her offices for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; several days and fill in the missing voter ID numbers.6 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; But Gourd did not process similar incomplete requests for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballots from Democratic voters7 and refused to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; allow Democratic officials the same opportunity to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; complete them.8 &#160;Florida law requires the voter, a family &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; member or guardian to complete all information on the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot application.9 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In a parallel case, Xavier Suarez was elected mayor of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Miami in 1997 with the help of 400 absentee ballots that &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; proved fraudulent.10 &#160;A Florida District Court later &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; threw out all 5,000 absentee ballots in the contest, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; which had gone 2-to-1 for Suarez, and awarded the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; mayorship to Suarez&#039; opponent.11 &#160;A separate 1998 court &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ruling granted Florida judges broad authority to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; invalidate elections if fraud or even unintentional error &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; results in a flawed outcome.12 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &#160;Disqualification of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &#160;Suarez said that he &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#039;&#039; for the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;Dade County Republicans have a very specific expertise &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in getting out absentee ballots,&#039;&#039; Suarez told Shapiro. &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;I obviously have specific experience in this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; myself.&#039;&#039;16 &#160;Kendall Coffey, a lead attorney in the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Suarez election misconduct case, found Suarez&#039;s &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; statements deeply troubling given his past &#039;&#039;systematic &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and massive absentee ballot fraud.&#039;&#039;17 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Former Florida GOP chairman Tom Slade said that the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Seminole lawsuit could be the Democrats &#039;&#039;biggest asset&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in the election contest.18 &#160;Indeed, disqualification of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP absentee ballot &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests or all 15,000 if these cannot be identified &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; would swing Florida for Gore. &#160;Both the Suarez case &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; precedent and Florida law mandate such a remedy for this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; selective and illegal intervention to boost GOP votes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; (See http://www.campaignwatch.org for complete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documentation if you happen to be reading a copy of this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; web report.) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; A broader pattern of GOP voter fraud in Florida? &#160;While &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the facts of the Seminole County case are not in dispute &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and the mandated legal remedy should win Florida for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Gore, it is still of historical interest to consider &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether the events in Seminole were part of a larger &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; pattern of voter fraud benefiting GOP candidate George &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush in Florida. &#160;Answers are as yet elusive, yet it is &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; reasonable to raise this question based upon the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; following allegations, background and precedents. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; votes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Background of Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Jeb&#039;s unsavory &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; background suggests the possibility of an illicit extra &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; push on election day for brother George. &#160;As extensively &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documented here &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb &#160;from Wall &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Street Journal and Washington Post reports, Jeb had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; lobbied for a Mob-linked HMO engaged in massive Medicare &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; fraud24 and defaulted on a $4.5 million S&amp;L loan arranged &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; through a front with no repayment schedule specified.25 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Precedents of election fraud. &#160;Not too many decades ago, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot boxes from precincts supportive of rivals to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; underworld-linked political machines could sometimes be &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; found at the bottom of the river on election night. &#160;It &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; is widely believed that the Daley machine and the Chicago &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mob fixed votes to win Illinois for John Kennedy in 1960. &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The 1997 Suarez case and recent events in Seminole County &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; indeed demonstrate that election fraud is still a part of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the landscape in Florida. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; If the Bush brothers feel somehow justified in &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; retaliating for JFK&#039;s 1960 election victory, however, one &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; important distinction should be noted. &#160;After winning the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; White House with probable Mob help, JFK supported his &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, in a massive &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and successful crusade against organized crime that had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the Mafia in dire straights when Kennedy was assassinated &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in 1963. &#160;(The Mob responded to this Kennedy effort by a &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; significant shift of allegiance to the GOP, as &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; exemplified by the political transformations of proxies &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Hoffa, analogous to the South&#039;s &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; affiliation with the Democratic Party following Abraham &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Lincoln&#039;s presidency. &#160;This shift was also a consequence &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; of demographics: between the 1960s and 1980s, for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; example, organized crime had progressed from robbing &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; banks to owning and draining them.) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; No such disassociation from corrupt support would be &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; anticipated if George W.

<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In a parallel case, Xavier Suarez was elected mayor of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Miami in 1997 with the help of 400 absentee ballots that <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; proved fraudulent.10 &nbsp;A Florida District Court later <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; threw out all 5,000 absentee ballots in the contest, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; which had gone 2-to-1 for Suarez, and awarded the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; mayorship to Suarez&#8217; opponent.11 &nbsp;A separate 1998 court <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ruling granted Florida judges broad authority to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; invalidate elections if fraud or even unintentional error <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; results in a flawed outcome.12  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &nbsp;Disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &nbsp;Suarez said that he <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#8221; for the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;Dade County Republicans have a very specific expertise <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in getting out absentee ballots,&#8221; Suarez told Shapiro. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;I obviously have specific experience in this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; myself.&#8221;16 &nbsp;Kendall Coffey, a lead attorney in the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Suarez election misconduct case, found Suarez&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; statements deeply troubling given his past &#8221;systematic <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and massive absentee ballot fraud.&#8221;17  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Former Florida GOP chairman Tom Slade said that the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Seminole lawsuit could be the Democrats &#8221;biggest asset&#8221; <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in the election contest.18 &nbsp;Indeed, disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP absentee ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests or all 15,000 if these cannot be identified <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; would swing Florida for Gore. &nbsp;Both the Suarez case <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; precedent and Florida law mandate such a remedy for this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; selective and illegal intervention to boost GOP votes.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; (See <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org</a> for complete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documentation if you happen to be reading a copy of this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; web report.)  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; A broader pattern of GOP voter fraud in Florida? &nbsp;While <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the facts of the Seminole County case are not in dispute <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and the mandated legal remedy should win Florida for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Gore, it is still of historical interest to consider <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether the events in Seminole were part of a larger <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; pattern of voter fraud benefiting GOP candidate George <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush in Florida. &nbsp;Answers are as yet elusive, yet it is <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; reasonable to raise this question based upon the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; following allegations, background and precedents.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; votes.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Background of Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Jeb&#8217;s unsavory <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; background suggests the possibility of an illicit extra <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; push on election day for brother George. &nbsp;As extensively <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documented here <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb</a> &nbsp;from Wall <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Street Journal and Washington Post reports, Jeb had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; lobbied for a Mob-linked HMO engaged in massive Medicare <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; fraud24 and defaulted on a $4.5 million S&amp;L loan arranged <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; through a front with no repayment schedule specified.25  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Precedents of election fraud. &nbsp;Not too many decades ago, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot boxes from precincts supportive of rivals to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; underworld-linked political machines could sometimes be <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; found at the bottom of the river on election night. &nbsp;It <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; is widely believed that the Daley machine and the Chicago <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mob fixed votes to win Illinois for John Kennedy in 1960. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The 1997 Suarez case and recent events in Seminole County <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; indeed demonstrate that election fraud is still a part of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the landscape in Florida.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; If the Bush brothers feel somehow justified in <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; retaliating for JFK&#8217;s 1960 election victory, however, one <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; important distinction should be noted. &nbsp;After winning the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; White House with probable Mob help, JFK supported his <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, in a massive <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and successful crusade against organized crime that had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the Mafia in dire straights when Kennedy was assassinated <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in 1963. &nbsp;(The Mob responded to this Kennedy effort by a <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; significant shift of allegiance to the GOP, as <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; exemplified by the political transformations of proxies <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Hoffa, analogous to the South&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; affiliation with the Democratic Party following Abraham <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Lincoln&#8217;s presidency. &nbsp;This shift was also a consequence <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; of demographics: between the 1960s and 1980s, for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; example, organized crime had progressed from robbing <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; banks to owning and draining them.)  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; No such disassociation from corrupt support would be <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; anticipated if George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; election as a result of voter fraud. &nbsp;Five members of the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush family, including George W. and Jeb, were involved <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in questionable financial dealings, in some cases with <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; organized crime links, while former president George H.W. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush disbanded <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband</a> <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the federal organized crime strike forces in 1989, which <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; had been perhaps the government&#8217;s most successful tool <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; against the Mob in the 1970s and 1980s.  </p>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Florida, GOP representatives entered &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; election offices and selectively completed 4,700 requests &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; for absentee ballots from Republicans; incomplete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests there from Democrats were rejected. &#160;The case &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes to trial in Circuit Court on November 29. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &#160;A similar absentee &lt;br /&gt;

Jeb&#039;s unsavory &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; background suggests the possibility of an illicit extra &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; push on election day for brother George. &#160;As extensively &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documented here &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb &#160;from Wall &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Street Journal and Washington Post reports, Jeb had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; lobbied for a Mob-linked HMO engaged in massive Medicare &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; fraud24 and defaulted on a $4.5 million S&amp;L loan arranged &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; through a front with no repayment schedule specified.25 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; Precedents of election fraud. &#160;Not too many decades ago, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot boxes from precincts supportive of rivals to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; underworld-linked political machines could sometimes be &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; found at the bottom of the river on election night. &#160;It &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; is widely believed that the Daley machine and the Chicago &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mob fixed votes to win Illinois for John Kennedy in 1960. &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The 1997 Suarez case and recent events in Seminole County &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; indeed demonstrate that election fraud is still a part of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the landscape in Florida. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; If the Bush brothers feel somehow justified in &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; retaliating for JFK&#039;s 1960 election victory, however, one &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; important distinction should be noted. &#160;After winning the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; White House with probable Mob help, JFK supported his &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, in a massive &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and successful crusade against organized crime that had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the Mafia in dire straights when Kennedy was assassinated &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in 1963. &#160;(The Mob responded to this Kennedy effort by a &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; significant shift of allegiance to the GOP, as &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; exemplified by the political transformations of proxies &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Hoffa, analogous to the South&#039;s &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; affiliation with the Democratic Party following Abraham &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Lincoln&#039;s presidency. &#160;This shift was also a consequence &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; of demographics: between the 1960s and 1980s, for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; example, organized crime had progressed from robbing &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; banks to owning and draining them.) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; No such disassociation from corrupt support would be &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; anticipated if George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; election as a result of voter fraud. &#160;Five members of the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush family, including George W. and Jeb, were involved &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in questionable financial dealings, in some cases with &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; organized crime links, while former president George H.W. &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush disbanded &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the federal organized crime strike forces in 1989, which &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; had been perhaps the government&#039;s most successful tool &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; against the Mob in the 1970s and 1980s. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; David E.

<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; Absentee Ballot Fraud in Seminole County  </p>

<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; See: Trust or Hustle: The Bush Record <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/hustle.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/hustle.htm</a>  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Florida, GOP representatives entered <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; election offices and selectively completed 4,700 requests <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; for absentee ballots from Republicans; incomplete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; requests there from Democrats were rejected. &nbsp;The case <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; goes to trial in Circuit Court on November 29.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &nbsp;A similar absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot fraud case in 1997 resulted in the ouster of Miami <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Mayor Xavier Saurez,3 who admitted this month handling <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; GOP absentee ballot forms in the 2000 election.4  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; Earlier this year, Florida Republicans mailed out <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; thousands of reply requests for absentee ballots to GOP <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; voters that left blank the voter ID number required by <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida&#8217;s anti-fraud election law.5 &nbsp;Gourd, a Republican, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; contacted GOP County Chairman James Stelling, who <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; provided two workers to camp out in her offices for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; several days and fill in the missing voter ID numbers.6 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; But Gourd did not process similar incomplete requests for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballots from Democratic voters7 and refused to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; allow Democratic officials the same opportunity to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; complete them.8 &nbsp;Florida law requires the voter, a family <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; member or guardian to complete all information on the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot application.9  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; In a parallel case, Xavier Suarez was elected mayor of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Miami in 1997 with the help of 400 absentee ballots that <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; proved fraudulent.10 &nbsp;A Florida District Court later <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; threw out all 5,000 absentee ballots in the contest, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; which had gone 2-to-1 for Suarez, and awarded the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; mayorship to Suarez&#8217; opponent.11 &nbsp;A separate 1998 court <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; ruling granted Florida judges broad authority to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; invalidate elections if fraud or even unintentional error <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; results in a flawed outcome.12  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &nbsp;Disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &nbsp;Suarez said that he <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#8221; for the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;Dade County Republicans have a very specific expertise <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; in getting out absentee ballots,&#8221; Suarez told Shapiro. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;I obviously have specific experience in this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; myself.&#8221;16 &nbsp;Kendall Coffey, a lead attorney in the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Suarez election misconduct case, found Suarez&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; statements deeply troubling given his past &#8221;systematic <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; and massive absentee ballot fraud.&#8221;17  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; Former Florida GOP chairman Tom Slade said that the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Seminole lawsuit could be the Democrats &#8221;biggest asset&#8221; <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; in the election contest.18 &nbsp;Indeed, disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP absentee ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; requests or all 15,000 if these cannot be identified <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; would swing Florida for Gore. &nbsp;Both the Suarez case <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; precedent and Florida law mandate such a remedy for this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; selective and illegal intervention to boost GOP votes.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; (See <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org</a> for complete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; documentation if you happen to be reading a copy of this <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; web report.)  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; A broader pattern of GOP voter fraud in Florida? &nbsp;While <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the facts of the Seminole County case are not in dispute <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; and the mandated legal remedy should win Florida for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Gore, it is still of historical interest to consider <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; whether the events in Seminole were part of a larger <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; pattern of voter fraud benefiting GOP candidate George <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush in Florida. &nbsp;Answers are as yet elusive, yet it is <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; reasonable to raise this question based upon the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; following allegations, background and precedents.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; votes.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; Background of Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Jeb&#8217;s unsavory <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; background suggests the possibility of an illicit extra <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; push on election day for brother George. &nbsp;As extensively <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; documented here <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb</a> &nbsp;from Wall <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Street Journal and Washington Post reports, Jeb had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; lobbied for a Mob-linked HMO engaged in massive Medicare <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; fraud24 and defaulted on a $4.5 million S&amp;L loan arranged <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; through a front with no repayment schedule specified.25  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; Precedents of election fraud. &nbsp;Not too many decades ago, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot boxes from precincts supportive of rivals to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; underworld-linked political machines could sometimes be <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; found at the bottom of the river on election night. &nbsp;It <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; is widely believed that the Daley machine and the Chicago <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Mob fixed votes to win Illinois for John Kennedy in 1960. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; The 1997 Suarez case and recent events in Seminole County <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; indeed demonstrate that election fraud is still a part of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the landscape in Florida.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; If the Bush brothers feel somehow justified in <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; retaliating for JFK&#8217;s 1960 election victory, however, one <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; important distinction should be noted. &nbsp;After winning the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; White House with probable Mob help, JFK supported his <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, in a massive <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; and successful crusade against organized crime that had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the Mafia in dire straights when Kennedy was assassinated <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; in 1963. &nbsp;(The Mob responded to this Kennedy effort by a <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; significant shift of allegiance to the GOP, as <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; exemplified by the political transformations of proxies <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Hoffa, analogous to the South&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; affiliation with the Democratic Party following Abraham <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Lincoln&#8217;s presidency. &nbsp;This shift was also a consequence <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; of demographics: between the 1960s and 1980s, for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; example, organized crime had progressed from robbing <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; banks to owning and draining them.)  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; No such disassociation from corrupt support would be <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; anticipated if George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; election as a result of voter fraud. &nbsp;Five members of the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush family, including George W. and Jeb, were involved <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; in questionable financial dealings, in some cases with <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; organized crime links, while former president George H.W. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush disbanded <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband</a> <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the federal organized crime strike forces in 1989, which <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; had been perhaps the government&#8217;s most successful tool <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; against the Mob in the 1970s and 1980s.  </p>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &#160;A similar absentee &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot fraud case in 1997 resulted in the ouster of Miami &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mayor Xavier Saurez,3 who admitted this month handling &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; GOP absentee ballot forms in the 2000 election.4 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; Earlier this year, Florida Republicans mailed out &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; thousands of reply requests for absentee ballots to GOP &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voters that left blank the voter ID number required by &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida&#039;s anti-fraud election law.5 &#160;Gourd, a Republican, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; contacted GOP County Chairman James Stelling, who &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; provided two workers to camp out in her offices for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; several days and fill in the missing voter ID numbers.6 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; But Gourd did not process similar incomplete requests for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballots from Democratic voters7 and refused to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; allow Democratic officials the same opportunity to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; complete them.8 &#160;Florida law requires the voter, a family &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; member or guardian to complete all information on the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot application.9 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; In a parallel case, Xavier Suarez was elected mayor of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Miami in 1997 with the help of 400 absentee ballots that &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; proved fraudulent.10 &#160;A Florida District Court later &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; threw out all 5,000 absentee ballots in the contest, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; which had gone 2-to-1 for Suarez, and awarded the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; mayorship to Suarez&#039; opponent.11 &#160;A separate 1998 court &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ruling granted Florida judges broad authority to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; invalidate elections if fraud or even unintentional error &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; results in a flawed outcome.12 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &#160;Disqualification of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &#160;Suarez said that he &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#039;&#039; for the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;Dade County Republicans have a very specific expertise &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in getting out absentee ballots,&#039;&#039; Suarez told Shapiro. &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;I obviously have specific experience in this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; myself.&#039;&#039;16 &#160;Kendall Coffey, a lead attorney in the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Suarez election misconduct case, found Suarez&#039;s &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; statements deeply troubling given his past &#039;&#039;systematic &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and massive absentee ballot fraud.&#039;&#039;17 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; Former Florida GOP chairman Tom Slade said that the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Seminole lawsuit could be the Democrats &#039;&#039;biggest asset&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in the election contest.18 &#160;Indeed, disqualification of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP absentee ballot &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; requests or all 15,000 if these cannot be identified &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; would swing Florida for Gore. &#160;Both the Suarez case &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; precedent and Florida law mandate such a remedy for this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; selective and illegal intervention to boost GOP votes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; (See http://www.campaignwatch.org for complete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documentation if you happen to be reading a copy of this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; web report.) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; A broader pattern of GOP voter fraud in Florida? &#160;While &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the facts of the Seminole County case are not in dispute &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and the mandated legal remedy should win Florida for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Gore, it is still of historical interest to consider &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether the events in Seminole were part of a larger &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; pattern of voter fraud benefiting GOP candidate George &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush in Florida. &#160;Answers are as yet elusive, yet it is &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; reasonable to raise this question based upon the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; following allegations, background and precedents. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; votes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; Background of Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Jeb&#039;s unsavory &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; background suggests the possibility of an illicit extra &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; push on election day for brother George. &#160;As extensively &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; documented here &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb &#160;from Wall &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Street Journal and Washington Post reports, Jeb had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; lobbied for a Mob-linked HMO engaged in massive Medicare &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; fraud24 and defaulted on a $4.5 million S&amp;L loan arranged &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; through a front with no repayment schedule specified.25 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; Precedents of election fraud. &#160;Not too many decades ago, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot boxes from precincts supportive of rivals to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; underworld-linked political machines could sometimes be &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; found at the bottom of the river on election night. &#160;It &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; is widely believed that the Daley machine and the Chicago &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Mob fixed votes to win Illinois for John Kennedy in 1960. &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The 1997 Suarez case and recent events in Seminole County &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; indeed demonstrate that election fraud is still a part of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the landscape in Florida. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; If the Bush brothers feel somehow justified in &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; retaliating for JFK&#039;s 1960 election victory, however, one &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; important distinction should be noted. &#160;After winning the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; White House with probable Mob help, JFK supported his &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, in a massive &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; and successful crusade against organized crime that had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the Mafia in dire straights when Kennedy was assassinated &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in 1963. &#160;(The Mob responded to this Kennedy effort by a &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; significant shift of allegiance to the GOP, as &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; exemplified by the political transformations of proxies &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Hoffa, analogous to the South&#039;s &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; affiliation with the Democratic Party following Abraham &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Lincoln&#039;s presidency. &#160;This shift was also a consequence &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; of demographics: between the 1960s and 1980s, for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; example, organized crime had progressed from robbing &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; banks to owning and draining them.) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; No such disassociation from corrupt support would be &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; anticipated if George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; election as a result of voter fraud. &#160;Five members of the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush family, including George W. and Jeb, were involved &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; in questionable financial dealings, in some cases with &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; organized crime links, while former president George H.W. &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush disbanded &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the federal organized crime strike forces in 1989, which &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; had been perhaps the government&#039;s most successful tool &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; against the Mob in the 1970s and 1980s. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; David E.

<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Florida, GOP representatives entered <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; election offices and selectively completed 4,700 requests <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; for absentee ballots from Republicans; incomplete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; requests there from Democrats were rejected. &nbsp;The case <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; goes to trial in Circuit Court on November 29.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &nbsp;A similar absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot fraud case in 1997 resulted in the ouster of Miami <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Mayor Xavier Saurez,3 who admitted this month handling <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; GOP absentee ballot forms in the 2000 election.4  </p>

<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &nbsp;Disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &nbsp;Suarez said that he <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; &#8221;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#8221; for the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15  </p>

<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; votes.  </p>

Jeb&#8217;s unsavory <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; background suggests the possibility of an illicit extra <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; push on election day for brother George. &nbsp;As extensively <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; documented here <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb</a> &nbsp;from Wall <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Street Journal and Washington Post reports, Jeb had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; lobbied for a Mob-linked HMO engaged in massive Medicare <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; fraud24 and defaulted on a $4.5 million S&amp;L loan arranged <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; through a front with no repayment schedule specified.25  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; Precedents of election fraud. &nbsp;Not too many decades ago, <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; ballot boxes from precincts supportive of rivals to <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; underworld-linked political machines could sometimes be <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; found at the bottom of the river on election night. &nbsp;It <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; is widely believed that the Daley machine and the Chicago <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Mob fixed votes to win Illinois for John Kennedy in 1960. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; The 1997 Suarez case and recent events in Seminole County <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; indeed demonstrate that election fraud is still a part of <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the landscape in Florida.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; If the Bush brothers feel somehow justified in <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; retaliating for JFK&#8217;s 1960 election victory, however, one <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; important distinction should be noted. &nbsp;After winning the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; White House with probable Mob help, JFK supported his <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, in a massive <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; and successful crusade against organized crime that had <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the Mafia in dire straights when Kennedy was assassinated <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; in 1963. &nbsp;(The Mob responded to this Kennedy effort by a <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; significant shift of allegiance to the GOP, as <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; exemplified by the political transformations of proxies <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Hoffa, analogous to the South&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; affiliation with the Democratic Party following Abraham <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Lincoln&#8217;s presidency. &nbsp;This shift was also a consequence <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; of demographics: between the 1960s and 1980s, for <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; example, organized crime had progressed from robbing <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; banks to owning and draining them.)  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &gt; No such disassociation from corrupt support would be <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; anticipated if George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; election as a result of voter fraud. &nbsp;Five members of the <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush family, including George W. and Jeb, were involved <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; in questionable financial dealings, in some cases with <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; organized crime links, while former president George H.W. <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; Bush disbanded <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband</a> <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; the federal organized crime strike forces in 1989, which <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; had been perhaps the government&#8217;s most successful tool <br /> &gt; &gt; &gt; against the Mob in the 1970s and 1980s.  </p>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Florida, GOP representatives entered &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; election offices and selectively completed 4,700 requests &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; for absentee ballots from Republicans; incomplete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; requests there from Democrats were rejected. &#160;The case &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; goes to trial in Circuit Court on November 29. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &#160;A similar absentee &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; ballot fraud case in 1997 resulted in the ouster of Miami &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Mayor Xavier Saurez,3 who admitted this month handling &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; GOP absentee ballot forms in the 2000 election.4 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; Earlier this year, Florida Republicans mailed out &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; thousands of reply requests for absentee ballots to GOP &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; voters that left blank the voter ID number required by &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Florida&#039;s anti-fraud election law.5 &#160;Gourd, a Republican, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; contacted GOP County Chairman James Stelling, who &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; provided two workers to camp out in her offices for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; several days and fill in the missing voter ID numbers.6 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; But Gourd did not process similar incomplete requests for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballots from Democratic voters7 and refused to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; allow Democratic officials the same opportunity to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; complete them.8 &#160;Florida law requires the voter, a family &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; member or guardian to complete all information on the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; absentee ballot application.9 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; In a parallel case, Xavier Suarez was elected mayor of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Miami in 1997 with the help of 400 absentee ballots that &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; proved fraudulent.10 &#160;A Florida District Court later &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; threw out all 5,000 absentee ballots in the contest, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; which had gone 2-to-1 for Suarez, and awarded the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; mayorship to Suarez&#039; opponent.11 &#160;A separate 1998 court &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; ruling granted Florida judges broad authority to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; invalidate elections if fraud or even unintentional error &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; results in a flawed outcome.12 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &#160;Disqualification of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &#160;Suarez said that he &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#039;&#039; for the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;Dade County Republicans have a very specific expertise &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; in getting out absentee ballots,&#039;&#039; Suarez told Shapiro. &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; &#039;&#039;I obviously have specific experience in this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; myself.&#039;&#039;16 &#160;Kendall Coffey, a lead attorney in the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Suarez election misconduct case, found Suarez&#039;s &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; statements deeply troubling given his past &#039;&#039;systematic &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; and massive absentee ballot fraud.&#039;&#039;17 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; Former Florida GOP chairman Tom Slade said that the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Seminole lawsuit could be the Democrats &#039;&#039;biggest asset&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; in the election contest.18 &#160;Indeed, disqualification of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP absentee ballot &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; requests or all 15,000 if these cannot be identified &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; would swing Florida for Gore. &#160;Both the Suarez case &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; precedent and Florida law mandate such a remedy for this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; selective and illegal intervention to boost GOP votes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; (See http://www.campaignwatch.org for complete &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; documentation if you happen to be reading a copy of this &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; web report.) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; A broader pattern of GOP voter fraud in Florida? &#160;While &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; the facts of the Seminole County case are not in dispute &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; and the mandated legal remedy should win Florida for &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Gore, it is still of historical interest to consider &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; whether the events in Seminole were part of a larger &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; pattern of voter fraud benefiting GOP candidate George &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Bush in Florida. &#160;Answers are as yet elusive, yet it is &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; reasonable to raise this question based upon the &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; following allegations, background and precedents. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore &lt;br /&gt; &gt; &gt; votes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt; &gt; Background of Florida Governor Jeb Bush.

<p>&gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Florida, GOP representatives entered <br /> &gt; &gt; election offices and selectively completed 4,700 requests <br /> &gt; &gt; for absentee ballots from Republicans; incomplete <br /> &gt; &gt; requests there from Democrats were rejected. &nbsp;The case <br /> &gt; &gt; goes to trial in Circuit Court on November 29.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; The election supervisor in Seminole County, Sandra Gourd, <br /> &gt; &gt; goes on trial next week in Florida circuit court for <br /> &gt; &gt; inviting GOP workers to fill in 4,700 incomplete GOP <br /> &gt; &gt; absentee ballot requests1 while rejecting incomplete <br /> &gt; &gt; Democratic absentee ballot requests.2 &nbsp;A similar absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; ballot fraud case in 1997 resulted in the ouster of Miami <br /> &gt; &gt; Mayor Xavier Saurez,3 who admitted this month handling <br /> &gt; &gt; GOP absentee ballot forms in the 2000 election.4  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; Earlier this year, Florida Republicans mailed out <br /> &gt; &gt; thousands of reply requests for absentee ballots to GOP <br /> &gt; &gt; voters that left blank the voter ID number required by <br /> &gt; &gt; Florida&#8217;s anti-fraud election law.5 &nbsp;Gourd, a Republican, <br /> &gt; &gt; contacted GOP County Chairman James Stelling, who <br /> &gt; &gt; provided two workers to camp out in her offices for <br /> &gt; &gt; several days and fill in the missing voter ID numbers.6 <br /> &gt; &gt; But Gourd did not process similar incomplete requests for <br /> &gt; &gt; absentee ballots from Democratic voters7 and refused to <br /> &gt; &gt; allow Democratic officials the same opportunity to <br /> &gt; &gt; complete them.8 &nbsp;Florida law requires the voter, a family <br /> &gt; &gt; member or guardian to complete all information on the <br /> &gt; &gt; absentee ballot application.9  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; In a parallel case, Xavier Suarez was elected mayor of <br /> &gt; &gt; Miami in 1997 with the help of 400 absentee ballots that <br /> &gt; &gt; proved fraudulent.10 &nbsp;A Florida District Court later <br /> &gt; &gt; threw out all 5,000 absentee ballots in the contest, <br /> &gt; &gt; which had gone 2-to-1 for Suarez, and awarded the <br /> &gt; &gt; mayorship to Suarez&#8217; opponent.11 &nbsp;A separate 1998 court <br /> &gt; &gt; ruling granted Florida judges broad authority to <br /> &gt; &gt; invalidate elections if fraud or even unintentional error <br /> &gt; &gt; results in a flawed outcome.12  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; In Seminole County, Bush also won the 15,000 absentee <br /> &gt; &gt; ballots cast by a 2-to-1 margin.13 &nbsp;Disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP ballots, or all <br /> &gt; &gt; 15,000 if these could not be identified, would provide <br /> &gt; &gt; the margin of victory for Gore.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; Ousted Mayor Suarez, elected last September to the <br /> &gt; &gt; Executive Committee of the Miami-Dade Republican Party,14 <br /> &gt; &gt; made a stunning admission November 8th to interviewer <br /> &gt; &gt; Evan Shapiro of FEED Magazine. &nbsp;Suarez said that he <br /> &gt; &gt; &#8221;helped fill out absentee ballot forms and enlist <br /> &gt; &gt; Republican absentee voters in Miami-Dade County&#8221; for the <br /> &gt; &gt; 2000 presidential election.15  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; &#8221;Dade County Republicans have a very specific expertise <br /> &gt; &gt; in getting out absentee ballots,&#8221; Suarez told Shapiro. <br /> &gt; &gt; &#8221;I obviously have specific experience in this <br /> &gt; &gt; myself.&#8221;16 &nbsp;Kendall Coffey, a lead attorney in the <br /> &gt; &gt; Suarez election misconduct case, found Suarez&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; statements deeply troubling given his past &#8221;systematic <br /> &gt; &gt; and massive absentee ballot fraud.&#8221;17  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; Former Florida GOP chairman Tom Slade said that the <br /> &gt; &gt; Seminole lawsuit could be the Democrats &#8221;biggest asset&#8221; <br /> &gt; &gt; in the election contest.18 &nbsp;Indeed, disqualification of <br /> &gt; &gt; the 4,700 selectively completed GOP absentee ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; requests or all 15,000 if these cannot be identified <br /> &gt; &gt; would swing Florida for Gore. &nbsp;Both the Suarez case <br /> &gt; &gt; precedent and Florida law mandate such a remedy for this <br /> &gt; &gt; selective and illegal intervention to boost GOP votes.  </p>

<p>&gt; &gt; A broader pattern of GOP voter fraud in Florida? &nbsp;While <br /> &gt; &gt; the facts of the Seminole County case are not in dispute <br /> &gt; &gt; and the mandated legal remedy should win Florida for <br /> &gt; &gt; Gore, it is still of historical interest to consider <br /> &gt; &gt; whether the events in Seminole were part of a larger <br /> &gt; &gt; pattern of voter fraud benefiting GOP candidate George <br /> &gt; &gt; Bush in Florida. &nbsp;Answers are as yet elusive, yet it is <br /> &gt; &gt; reasonable to raise this question based upon the <br /> &gt; &gt; following allegations, background and precedents.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; Allegations of fraud. Dozens of reports allege harassment <br /> &gt; &gt; and intimidation of black voters and improper denial of <br /> &gt; &gt; voting privileges to blacks in Miami, Tampa, Tallahassee, <br /> &gt; &gt; Hillsborough County, Volusia County, and other areas of <br /> &gt; &gt; Florida.19 The London Times reported that the FBI was <br /> &gt; &gt; asked to investigate allegations that thousands of mainly <br /> &gt; &gt; black supporters of Al Gore in Miami were given ballot <br /> &gt; &gt; papers that had already been marked for rival candidates, <br /> &gt; &gt; and that up to 17,000 ballots had been tampered with.20 <br /> &gt; &gt; In Duval County, 22,000 punch card ballots, or 7.5% of <br /> &gt; &gt; the vote, was disqualified due to multiple punching, <br /> &gt; &gt; predominantly in Democratic precincts.21 This was twice <br /> &gt; &gt; the rate of disqualification for overvoting as occurred <br /> &gt; &gt; in Palm Beach County.22 In response to a query from a <br /> &gt; &gt; Democratic official November 8th, the Republican Duval <br /> &gt; &gt; County supervisor of elections reportedly estimated that <br /> &gt; &gt; there were only a few hundred overvotes after he had <br /> &gt; &gt; already accurately reported the correct figure of 22,000 <br /> &gt; &gt; to Tallahassee,23 raising the question again as to <br /> &gt; &gt; whether ballots had been altered to disqualify Gore <br /> &gt; &gt; votes.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; Background of Florida Governor Jeb Bush. Jeb&#8217;s unsavory <br /> &gt; &gt; background suggests the possibility of an illicit extra <br /> &gt; &gt; push on election day for brother George. &nbsp;As extensively <br /> &gt; &gt; documented here <br /> &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#jeb</a> &nbsp;from Wall <br /> &gt; &gt; Street Journal and Washington Post reports, Jeb had <br /> &gt; &gt; lobbied for a Mob-linked HMO engaged in massive Medicare <br /> &gt; &gt; fraud24 and defaulted on a $4.5 million S&amp;L loan arranged <br /> &gt; &gt; through a front with no repayment schedule specified.25  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; Precedents of election fraud. &nbsp;Not too many decades ago, <br /> &gt; &gt; ballot boxes from precincts supportive of rivals to <br /> &gt; &gt; underworld-linked political machines could sometimes be <br /> &gt; &gt; found at the bottom of the river on election night. &nbsp;It <br /> &gt; &gt; is widely believed that the Daley machine and the Chicago <br /> &gt; &gt; Mob fixed votes to win Illinois for John Kennedy in 1960. <br /> &gt; &gt; The 1997 Suarez case and recent events in Seminole County <br /> &gt; &gt; indeed demonstrate that election fraud is still a part of <br /> &gt; &gt; the landscape in Florida.  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; If the Bush brothers feel somehow justified in <br /> &gt; &gt; retaliating for JFK&#8217;s 1960 election victory, however, one <br /> &gt; &gt; important distinction should be noted. &nbsp;After winning the <br /> &gt; &gt; White House with probable Mob help, JFK supported his <br /> &gt; &gt; brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, in a massive <br /> &gt; &gt; and successful crusade against organized crime that had <br /> &gt; &gt; the Mafia in dire straights when Kennedy was assassinated <br /> &gt; &gt; in 1963. &nbsp;(The Mob responded to this Kennedy effort by a <br /> &gt; &gt; significant shift of allegiance to the GOP, as <br /> &gt; &gt; exemplified by the political transformations of proxies <br /> &gt; &gt; Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Hoffa, analogous to the South&#8217;s <br /> &gt; &gt; affiliation with the Democratic Party following Abraham <br /> &gt; &gt; Lincoln&#8217;s presidency. &nbsp;This shift was also a consequence <br /> &gt; &gt; of demographics: between the 1960s and 1980s, for <br /> &gt; &gt; example, organized crime had progressed from robbing <br /> &gt; &gt; banks to owning and draining them.)  </p>
<p>&gt; &gt; No such disassociation from corrupt support would be <br /> &gt; &gt; anticipated if George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential <br /> &gt; &gt; election as a result of voter fraud. &nbsp;Five members of the <br /> &gt; &gt; Bush family, including George W. and Jeb, were involved <br /> &gt; &gt; in questionable financial dealings, in some cases with <br /> &gt; &gt; organized crime links, while former president George H.W. <br /> &gt; &gt; Bush disbanded <br /> &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband" rel="nofollow">http://www.campaignwatch.org/more1.htm#disband</a> <br /> &gt; &gt; the federal organized crime strike forces in 1989, which <br /> &gt; &gt; had been perhaps the government&#8217;s most successful tool <br /> &gt; &gt; against the Mob in the 1970s and 1980s.  </p>
