RAVENSGATE KEEP REALM OF MYSTERY

June 6, 2001

Today I read a June 5, 2001 article regarding the 2000 presidential election. It is called, Report: Florida Vote rife with disparities. Quoting from this report it states,

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has concluded that “Florida’s conduct of the 2000 presidential election was marked by “injustice, ineptitude, and inefficiency” that unfairly penalized minority voters, and it criticizes top state officials particularly Gov. Jeb Bush and Secretary of State, Katherine Harris for allowing disparate treatment of voters.” It went on to say that “the Florida attorney general’s office is investigating “possible civil rights violations stemming from the election,” spokesman Joe Bizzaro said yesterday.” The report also stated that “The disenfranchisement was not isolated or episodic. State officials failed to fulfill their duties in a manner that would prevent this disenfranchisement.”

This is from The Washington Post and is written by Robert E. Pierre and Peter Slevin. This is an important article that everyone should read including President Bush. It may take some ‘digging’ to find this article as the links with news reports often expire, but you might try The Washington Post for starters. Good luck.
