So, elections will never be the same after Florida 2000. I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me what happened in Florida that was substantially different from what happened in every other state, and every previous election in Florida and elsewhere. We were told ad nauseam by the Democrats, and repeated faithfully by their lapdogs in the mainstream media, that every vote must be counted. Every vote was counted, many ballots were not. There were two to four million ballots not counted nationwide.
We do know that 2,000 to 3,000 felons were permitted to vote in Florida. We didn't hear Democrats complaining about that. In fact, Democrats have been lobbying to put voting booths in prisons. At the same time, Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., wants to move voting locations off military bases to make it more difficult for overseas military personnel to vote.
The reason many ballots were rejected in Florida and elsewhere is that far too many citizens are not literate enough to read and understand some very simple voting procedure instructions. There was a directly proportional relationship between illiteracy rates and voting problems in each county.
Despite this obvious fact, the ''nonpartisan'' (consisting of four liberal Democrats and four liberal independents) U.S. Civil Rights Commission conducted a sham ''hearing'' to blame the Republican governor and secretary of state for voting and ballot problems in three counties where the entire election apparatus was controlled by Democrats, including the design of the infamous butterfly ballot, and use of punch cards.
