Hey, you know all those people who were scrubbed off the Florida rolls in 2000?

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Have they been put back on yet, and the votes counted?

This is not a Michael Moore or Greg Pilast film/book project conspiracy thread -- I got the web addresses and the VHS of "Unprecendented", thank you. Just curious about where the rolls stand now. Mistakes are made in the rolls of every state in every election and are corrected later. I'm just curious to know if Florida's rolls have been corrected yet.

You are a real twit

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

You a reat tit.

Meet me under the bleachers.

 

[P. B. Walker]

Why don't you write up a white paper on the topic and present it to us tomorrow at the 1:00 PM LitMeeting. Please don't forget to draw our conclusions for us regarding whether or not Bush is a legitimate president.

Cheers.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Thank you, Snoozy. Your vehemence is all about how you're still grumpy that I told Vixen I didn't like her photo, and now you won't miss an opportunity to cry "Fag". You're a baggage handler, and have no idea who I am. Weirdo.

Seriously. I'm curious, and conclusion-free. Every state corrects its voting rolls after the elections, which is why the electoral vote isn't actually taken until January (I believe). I know the NAACP sued Database Technology to reveal the names of those wrongly removed from the Florida rolls dues to computer error, but were those votes ever properly recorded? I haven't heard any one on the Dem or Rep side answer that question. I'm curious. And curiousity killed the cat.

Did I just call myself a pussy?

 

[Purple Haze]

How dare you question the legitimacy of George W. Bush, especially during wartime.

What are you, some kind of treasonous treasoner?

Commie.

 

[weed]

We are going to be very good roll models.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I'm not questioning Bush's anything. I just want to know where the situation is with the Florida rolls. I'm educating myself. Join me.

Here's a board with folks who would know:

[Purple Haze]

Are you referring to the 173,000 voters that were turned away at the polls?

You can't record votes that never existed.

Nah, He wants to know if the voters that were turned away have had their names restored to the roster, so they can vote next time.

I wonder how many names end up added to the roster more than once.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

No, Purp. Database technology was asked to remove the names of convicted felons. They told Jeb and Kathleen that the technology wasn't that good, and that a lot of people with simliar sounding names would be excluded. They told Database not to worry about that, thinking it would all be corrected after the election -- or, as some would say, they deliberately hoped to keep thousands of Democratic voters off the rolls this way. In either case, the NAACP sued to have the erronoeously removed names revealed, and I'm asking if those votes have been counted yet because I haven't heard anyone from Gore to Moore say yes or no to that question. These are people who already voted, but their votes were not initially counted.

Just looking for the facts, ma'am.

 

[Mockingbird]

No biggie. It was mostly blacks

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Black democrats. Don't forget the "democrats" part. And I'm pretty sure they're all Rob Reiner friends too.

 

[phrodeau]

It's nice to know that military targeting technology is so much more precise than voter database technology.

 

[Purple Haze]

You may have an easier time identifying people on the grassy knoll in Novemember '63.

Good luck to you...

 

[busybody..]

The NAACP is the ultimate RACIST orginization!

Nothing they stand for nor say has any truth attached to it!

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

They've already been identified. The NAACP dropped the case on the condition that the names were revealed.

It's okay to say "I don't know".

By the way, Bush's records as the Governor of Texas have been conveniently placed out the public's reach. I'm not lying....

Bush Gubernatorial Records Should Be Available Under Texas Law, Not Kept Secret in Father’s Library

Texas Records Law Applies Even Though Papers Are in Father’s Presidential Library, Public Citizen Tells Texas Attorney General

AUSTIN, Texas – President George Bush should not be permitted to hide his gubernatorial papers from the public by squirreling them away in his father’s presidential library, Public Citizen said in comments filed with the Texas Attorney General’s Office.

Public Citizen’s comments oppose an attempt to place the records of former Gov. Bush, amassed during his term in state office, outside the reach of state laws requiring public access to them. Bush has designated his father’s presidential library, operated by the federal government, as the repository for his gubernatorial records, creating uncertainty about whether the records remain available to Texas citizens under state law. Although Texas law permits the former governor to designate a repository for his papers, the records remain state property subject to public access under the Texas Public Information Act, Public Citizen’s comments show.

The Bush papers have been in a kind of legal limbo at the Bush Presidential Library in College Station since Bush left the governor’s office. Requests for access to them by some reporters have been met with lengthy delays that violate the Texas Public Information Act, which requires that public information be made available within 10 days of a request.

Texas Attorney General John Cornyn, at the request of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission and Gov. Rick Perry, is now considering the status of the Bush records and will issue an opinion on the subject within six months. Among the issues under consideration: whether the Bush records are still the property of the state, whether they remain available to the public under the state’s Public Information Act, and whether the State Library and Archives Commission must approve the terms under which the papers will be administered by the Bush Presidential Library. Public Citizen’s comments were filed at the invitation of the Attorney General’s Office.

"Our comments show that the Bush papers are state records under state law and that the former governor has no power to give them away," said Public Citizen President Joan Claybrook. "Nor does the former governor have the ability to place his papers beyond the reach of the Public Information Act. Although a special statute permits him to designate a repository for his papers, that designation determines only where the papers are stored, not who owns them. In addition, the statute makes clear that the approval of the State Library and Archives Commission is required to ensure that the papers remain available to the public as required by state law."

Added Tom "Smitty" Smith, Public Citizen’s Texas director, "These papers belong to the people of the state of Texas, not to George W. Bush. He can’t hide them or give them away, and putting them in his daddy’s library doesn’t change that one bit. This is a part of a pattern and practice of George Bush and his cronies to hide the records of their deeds."

And of course, it always helps when family members are manning the switches...

I don't know...

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

And I don't know if the votes that were scrubbed have been counted yet.

 

[Purple Haze]

Ha, wouldn't that be the bee's knees if they found that Bush lost?

Whatta kick in the pants that would be.

Kinda like when a whole season of "Dallas" was just a dream.

Dixon, you kill me...

Was it ever said that they would get their votes restored or just their right to vote restored?

Does that mean that the economy is still good? That the Iraqui war never happened? That all the dead come back to life? That the Supreme Court (present) reverses some of it's extremely partican decisions?

Clicking my rubby red slippers (watch it buddy, they are real comfortable) together three times I say "I believe, I believe, I believe, Beetlejuice - forget that last one."
