No, I am not trying to exhume the scandal in '00 related to the voting irregularities in Florida. (And by the way, sure Gore wanted to recount just counties where Bush won, and vice versa. A fair decision would have been to recount the state, but quite a few people insist that this would have resulted in a Gore presidency. Governor Bush decided to recount the counties that could give the White House to his kin. He achieved that goal, barely, amid a firestorm of controversy)
No, I'm pointing to the situation last week where the State of Florida was removing people from the list of eligible voters, and denying information to news agencies, etc. One agency got ahold of the list anyway, and found something like a thousand eligible, registered voters who were being purged illegally. Nice try, Jeb. But we're watching. I know that does not scare a Bush, but perhaps that's because the country is just now starting to wake up.
Heck, the great hope of many of my democrat friends is that the crap going on right now will not be quite enough to unseat Dubya, but will be enough to swing both houses of Congress in the 2004 election. Then, in 2008, with no R-incumbent, and after citizens notice the rest of Dubya's mean spirit and poor understanding, we'll get an actual GOOD D-candidate. Not Gore, not Kerry and not Hillary.
