Here’s the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Report on Voting Irregularities in Florida During the 2000 Presidential Election.
Summary:
- “During Florida’s 2000 presidential election, restrictive statutory provisions, wide-ranging errors, and inadequate resources in the Florida election process denied countless Floridians of their right to vote.”
- “This disenfranchisement of Florida voters fell most harshly on the shoulders of African Americans. Statewide, based on county-level statistical estimates, African American voters were nearly 10 times more likely than white voters to have their ballots rejected in the November 2000 election.”
- “While some of those denied the right to vote in the November 2000 election no doubt were legally denied that right, others who should have been legally entitled to vote were also denied that right. Indeed as this report demonstrates, Florida state law in some instances virtually guaranteed that some citizens who were legally entitled to vote would be denied that right.”
Here’s an article in the National Review denying everything that happened in 2000, denying that it is happening now, and drawing the wrong conclusions from the USCCR study. They are relying on the fact that their readers are not going to read the report, and they are trying to drum up blind resistance to any claims of voter disenfranchisement.
“Now we’re only a year and a half from another presidential election. The claims of impending disfranchisement are sure to multiply.”
Fuck you, National Review.
