Is Investigation of Vote Fraud in Florida "Racist"?
Stuart Buck proves otherwise. Bottom line: 264 absentee ballots were witnessed by consultant Ezzie Thomas in an Orlando, Florida, race which avoided a runoff by 234 votes. There are "42 sworn affidavits alleging that Thomas may have broken, or bent, the law."
Furthermore:
In nearly every case, interviewees said they didn't request an absentee ballot; they just got one in the mail. State law is clear that you don't get an absentee ballot unless you specifically ask for one, by phone or mail.
The Mulvaneys think it's highly suspicious that all those absentee ballots showed up at the same time Thomas did. They suspect that Thomas, who keeps a legal database of information gathered from absentee voters he registers, requested ballots for the voters.
Now Florida officials conducting a reasonable investigation of these matters are being roasted as racists in column after column by the New York Times' Bob Herbert.
The lesson here is that the 2004 election is unlikely to be over on Election Day. The fight is likely just beginning.
