180,000 votes for president were invalidated in Florida due to errors

Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel

WASHINGTON -- While 300 votes have given George W. Bush an
apparent winning edge in Florida, a far larger number -- 180,000
-- cast ballots that simply did not count in the presidential
election.

Many, like voters in Palm Beach County, chose more than one
candidate. Some simply did not vote for president. Other ballots
were ruined by mechanical or human errors.

About 3 percent of Florida's 6.1 million voters in last week's
election did not register a choice for president, up from just
over 2 percent in 1992, according to a Sun-Sentinel survey and
analysis of voting data from all 67 counties. The numbers include
certified data from 64 counties, and the latest tallies from
three counties still in dispute.

"That's just a tremendous amount of ballots," said Pamela
Swafford, the deputy director of elections of Hamilton County,
Ohio, which includes Cincinnati. "To me, that seems like a lot."
Of the 368,000 ballots cast in her county, 6,238 were not counted
in the presidential totals.

Of the Florida ballots that did not register a vote for
president, 85,466 came from counties Bush won and 94,468 from
counties that went for Gore.

Since the 1940s, about 2 percent of ballots nationwide have not
had their presidential vote counted, according to a national
expert. While the overall state percentage is not dramatically
higher, it has increased over the past three presidential
elections, from 2.3 percent in 1992 to 2.5 percent in 1996. But
in some counties, the numbers were very high.

In Duval County, home to Jacksonville, about 9 percent of all
ballots were not included in the presidential tallies, up from
2.3 percent in 1992. Of the 291,626 ballots cast in Duval County,
21,942 ballots had more than one vote for president and 4,967 had
no vote for president. Tiny Gadsden County, where 12.4 percent of
16,812 ballots cast did not have proper presidential votes, had
the highest percentage of voters whose ballots did not count in
the state.

In South Florida's big three counties, whose votes remain
uncertified, 72,914 votes could not be counted for presidential
candidates. In Palm Beach County there were 19,120 "overvotes"
and 10,582 "undervotes," representing 6.4 percent of the 461,988.

Miami-Dade had 17,851 people who voted more than once and 10,750
who did not vote, about 4.4 percent of the 653,963.

In Broward County, 2.5 percent of the county's 588,007 total
votes did not count toward the presidential race, a total of
7,925 and 6,686, respectively.

"Those are way too high," said Ken Brace, president of Election
Data Services Inc., the leading compiler of nationwide, detailed
voting data. Brace said poor ballot design was probably
responsible for the multiple votes.

Since the morning of the election, voters in Palm Beach County
have been complaining, saying the two-page "butterfly" ballot
with punch holes in the middle was confusing. Many have pointed
to the 3,407 votes that Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan got,
the most in the state, as evidence.

Ion Sancho, the supervisor of elections in Leon County, said
punch cards were partly to blame.

"They should ban the punch card system in Florida," Sancho said.
"Massachusetts and New Hampshire have banned the punch card
system. Where else do we have punch card technology in our
society? We don't take tests like that. People should not have to
guess if their vote counts."

The 26 counties with punch-card systems consistently had bigger
problems with people not choosing a candidate in the presidential
race. That suggested that Palm Beach was not the only place
bedeviled by the infamous "chad" that clings to a ballot and
keeps it from being read. On the other hand, a high "overvote" --
meaning more than one candidate was marked for president -- was
more common in 16 counties where ballots are marked with felt-tip
pens and counted centrally.

Brace said that another problem in Florida may have been the
unusually high number of candidates on this year's ballot.
Florida, with 10, was tied with a few other states for most
presidential candidates on the ballot. Florida's voters approved
a constitutional amendment in 1998 making it easier for
independent and minor parties to get on the ballot, and this
year's choices included everything from the Socialist Worker's
Party to the Natural Law Party.

In Duval and DeSoto counties, voters had two pages of
presidential candidates to contend with. It appears many voted
for a candidate on each page.

But Ron Turner, who runs elections in DeSoto, said voters had a
chance to examine a sample ballot before Election Day. Even with
all the candidates, he said, Republicans and Democrats remain in
the first and second position on the ballot and people should
know for whom they're voting before they walk in.

"My personal opinion is, people need to get a grip," he said.
"Ask questions, study your sample ballot and if you have
questions that day, ask. Some of this has to be the voter's
responsibility, not the supervisor's job."

In Leon, Sancho uses a ballot checked at the precinct by the
AccuVote optical scanning system, which immediately spits out
problem ballots. If there is a double-vote, for example, poll
workers inform the voter and they can revote. The result: Leon
County had the lowest rate of uncounted presidential votes in the
state. Out of 103,377 ballots cast, 181 or .175 percent, were
discarded. All were absentee ballots missing signatures or a
witness.

But trends in the Sun-Sentinel's analysis suggest more than voter
apathy was at work. For example, the shortfall in votes was
nearly five times higher in counties where ballots are counted at
a central location instead of at local precincts as in Leon
County. In South Florida's three counties, ballots are shipped to
a central location for tallying and cannot be re-done.

Several election experts said it was difficult to tell why some
people voted twice or not at all.

The Old Joke about Clean Elections

12-Nov-00
By Marcelo Jelen

MONTEVIDEO, Nov 12 (IPS-Latin American Office) - Former US president
Jimmy Carter is accustomed to asking for calm amid complicated
electoral processes, most often in Latin America. But for the first
time he has had to do so in his own country.

In 1982, one year after leaving the presidency, he created the
Carter Centre, the principal mission of which is to observe and
advise developing countries with less experience in holding elections
or that face a high risk of electoral fraud.

But something happened last Tuesday, when US voters cast their
ballots nearly fifty-fifty for Republican governor of Texas, George
W.  Bush, and Democratic Vice-President Al Gore as the person they
wanted to succeed President Bill Clinton.

The unprecedented challenges and delays the United States now faces
as it recounts ballots in several states have led to a range of
criticisms from Latin America, whose authorities had become used
to Washington questioning them about their own elections.

''A few months ago, the Secretary-General of the OAS (Organisation
of American States), Csar Gaviria, and the US Secretary of State,
Madeleine Albright, were monitoring the elections in Peru. It's
curious that they are now keeping quiet,'' said Ciro Roldn, a
political expert from the National University of Colombia.

''If this had occurred in one of our countries, they would have
already sent an OAS commission,'' a Latin American ambassador in
Washington told the Argentine daily 'Clarn.'

In the United States, the candidate who obtains at least 270 votes
from the 538-member electoral college wins the presidency. The
electoral college members are elected by popular vote in each state
on a winner- takes-all basis, meaning the presidential candidate
that wins the popular vote obtains all of that state's electoral
college votes, regardless of how small his or her victory is.

So far, Gore holds 255 electoral college votes, Bush has 246, and
still at stake are Florida's 25, five in New Mexico and seven in
Oregon.  The number of electoral college votes held by each state
is the same number of representatives and senators the state has
in the national Congress, nearly proportional to population.

Florida's governor is Jeb Bush, brother of the Republican candidate
who holds a slim lead of 327 votes out of more than six million,
according to unofficial reports. Gore's supporters, meanwhile, have
denounced several irregularities in the voting process there.

Back in July, Carter personally took part in observing presidential
elections in both Mexico and Venezuela. In April and May, the Carter
Centre criticised the re-election process of Alberto Fujimori in
Peru. It noted some improvements in the Nicaraguan system shortly
before municipal elections there Nov 5.

Last Thursday in Washington, Carter called on the US people to be
''patient'' and predicted that ''the process would take several
days.'' He told the media at the National Press Club that it would
be a great error if the final results of these elections do not
achieve a general consensus.

The Latin American criticisms focus on the indirect electoral system
that would allow Bush to take the presidency even though Gore won
an estimated 200,000 more popular votes, and they point out the
technical aspects, such as the confusing design of ballots that
led to the nullification of 19,000 votes in Palm Beach, Florida.

Also in Palm Beach, a county that is largely Jewish, there were,
surprisingly, 3,600 votes cast for Pat Buchanan, a candidate who
has made anti-Semitic statements. Also in Florida, ballot boxes
were discovered that had not been counted.

There were also charges of harassment against African-American
voters, a community that is traditionally Democrat. Nationwide,
Gore won more than 90 percent of the votes cast by the African-American
electorate.

In the United States, the electoral system is fragmented, with each
of its 50 states - and all of their counties - providing different
ballots as they include candidates in local elections as well.

''No one is going to be happy, because with a difference of just
a thousand votes it will be unacceptable to either of the two. The
best thing would be to repeat the process,'' recommended Colombian
expert Roldn.

Cuba's governing Communist Party, which Washington accuses of being
anti-democratic, even joined the fray, recommending a re-vote in
Florida in an editorial published in the government-run daily
'Granma'.

Costa Rica, meanwhile, is free of international claims of electoral
fraud.  ''The possibility of irregularities is very remote here.
In the first place, because the vote is direct: the citizens vote
for the candidate and not for delegates,'' Luis Antonio Sobrado,
member of the Costa Rican Supreme Court of Elections (TSE), told
IPS.

''There is little chance for confusion. The TSE creates ballots in
such a way that nobody can vote for one candidate thinking they
voted for another.  Each candidate is given an entire column on
the ballot, with a photo and the colours of the party,'' he added,
in reference to the confusion in Palm Beach.

The lack of a system of proportional representation to elect the
president is the greatest problem of the US system, even from an
ethical perspective, said Mario Cataldi, who has participated in
the Electoral Court of Uruguay's delegation as observer and adviser
in numerous elections.

But it seems impossible to change such a deeply rooted system,
despite the fact that the close electoral race this time has exposed
its problems, Cataldi told IPS. In 1977, former president Carter
proposed a constitutional reform regarding elections, but he was
unsuccessful.

The United States is the only country in the Americas where the
president is elected indirectly. Argentina abandoned a similar
system in 1994 under a constitutional reform that also permitted
the re-election of then- president Carlos Menem.

Chilean political expert Ricardo Israel also recommended a change
in the US system. ''The electoral college is not democratic, it
leads to excessive concern among the candidates about local issues
and that is not egalitarian because some votes then weigh more than
others,'' he maintained.

It is unfair because in a winner-take-all situation with the
electoral college, ''even if the candidate has won by only one
vote, the votes cast in states with low turnout weigh more than
those from states where more people go to the polls,'' said Israel
in a column appearing on the Terra website.

Cataldi, the Uruguayan electoral official, also criticised the
possibility of repeating the elections in Palm Beach, as the
Democratic voters are demanding, because that would give a handful
of citizens the power to elect the president of the entire nation.

A similar situation occurred in Uruguay in the 1940s when the
results from an electoral district in the country's interior were
annulled. The re-vote, in which just 300 citizens participated,
determined the winner of the presidency, he pointed out.

The electoral system of Mexico, previously at the service of the
governing Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), is now considered
one of the ''cleanest'' in the world after passing the test of
July's elections, in which opposition candidate Vicente Fox won
the presidential seat, ending the PRI's 71 consecutive years of
rule.

Paraguay, a country whose electoral system was notoriously corrupt
during the six decades in which the Colorado Party reigned, passed
its own test in August, when citizens elected Vice-President Julio
Csar Franco, of the opposition Authentic Radical Liberal Party.

The electoral process there won the approval of observers from the
OAS, the US government and private organisations.

Brazil, meanwhile, held elections in October to elect municipal
authorities.  The electorate cast votes via an electronic system,
instead of a ballot box, and manual votes were used in just a few
areas where the new system was not working properly.

The results were known just hours after the polling sites had closed
and there were no charges of irregularities. The electoral authorities
reported that their European counterparts had expressed interest
in importing the electronic voting technology.

In Brazil, the ballots list a number corresponding to each candidate,
but a photo of the candidate also appears, ensuring that even people
who are illiterate can vote without fear of making a mistake.

Elections in Venezuela have also been computerised. The latest
constitutional reform required calling 11.7 million people to cast
their vote for new political leaders on May 28. But the elections
were postponed after several technical problems were discovered.

In the end, the elections were approved by international observers,
despite the fact that the overwhelming victories of candidates
supported by President Hugo Chvez could have prompted suspicion.

Meanwhile, the sharpest questioning came during the two rounds of
general elections in Peru, which this year led to the third
consecutive term of President Fujimori - though events since then
have led him to announce new elections for next year and his own
resignation.

In the Peruvian electoral process, 260 cases of irregularities were
denounced in which police harassed opposition candidates' delegates
at the voting sites, ballots were poorly printed, or journalists
were obstructed from gathering information.

The top opposition candidate, Alejandro Toledo, boycotted the run-
off election against Fujimori in May because the government refused
to postpone it, as had been requested by foreign observers, including
the OAS, which withdrew from Peru after calling for improvements
in the electoral system.

Patrick Merloe, of the National Democratic Institute, a US organisation
with close ties to the Carter Centre, said that based on experience
in other countries, when elections do not meet international
standards, the possibility of new elections must be considered.

Merloe was referring to May's elections in Peru, but he might well
have repeated his words last week in reference to the United States.

Was George W. out of it when he signed the Texas manual vote recount law?

Online Journal - <http://www.onlinejournal.com>
11-16-00
By Bev Conover

For more than a week George W. Bush and the contingent
he sent to Florida have been fighting the hand recounting of ballots in
Palm Beach, Broward, Dade and Volusia counties, yet the Texas governor in
1997 signed legislation into law that said a hand recount is preferred to
a machine recount in close elections.

Was Bush so out of it that he doesn't realize what he signed or is it a
matter of what's good for Texas isn't good for Florida? Or isn't it good
for Florida when Bush is on the Sunshine State's ballot as the Republican
Party's presidential candidate, has lost the popular vote nationwide and
is currently behind in the electoral vote?

Bush, who has already anointed himself president, and his cohorts have
been screaming how evil, how dastardly, manually recounting ballots in
counties where more than 20,000 people have been disenfranchised would be.
That even with an army of Republicans looking over their shoulders, the
filthy Democrat canvassers would pull some sleight of hand to give more
votes to Al Gore and take some away from Bush.

Besides that, they have decreed machines are more accurate than humans,
when even the machine makers say their machines have an error rate.

Is there something we don't understand about Texas that makes hand
recounts preferred there? Are Texas Democrats more honest than Florida's?
Do Texas Democrats lack the manual dexterity to punch out chad where no
punches had gone before and not be caught by watchful Republicans? Are
there any Democrats in Texas? And why are Texas machines less reliable in
close elections than Florida's, necessitating hand counting of ballots in
the Lone Star State?

Notice how the TV news cuties, who blather day and night about lawyers and
courts and lawsuits and injunctions, don't mention the fact that Bush
signed a law in his own state that gives preference to hand recounts over
machine recounts, because human eyes still beat machines.

Nor do they bring up the fact that it was John Ellis who just happened to
be on the Fox news desk one election night and decided, after conferring
with his cousins George and Jebbie, the governors of Texas and Florida, to
call Florida for George W., thereby handing him the 25 electoral votes
that would have put him over the top. Nothing funny there, right?

Hey, "pregnant chad" is more fun. Why ruin it when you can have James
Baker and right winger Ted Olson, who is married to Scaife babe Barbara
Olson, running off at the mouth about why Big Bad Al, who won the popular
vote - a fact that won't change even if they manage to steal Florida from
him - and is ahead in the electoral vote, should just go away so their
man-child, George W., can get on with playing at being president?

Of course they would have folded their tent and stolen quietly into the
night had the situation been reversed. You doubt?

Gosh, if George W. and his handlers manage to pull this off, we can hardly
wait to experience what life will be like with King George in the White
House. This will be more fun than Watergate, Iran-contra and Iraqgate
combined - that's if the country survives. Even the right-wingers will
long for the days of the Clinton non-scandals.

And we all owe this to Ralph Nader, even though he's refusing to take the
credit. Thanks, Ralph. We won't forget you and all your supporters.

Conservatives, White Supremacists, Take to Florida Streets

Claiming an 'Implicit' Racial Angle, Stormfront Leader Backs Bush Protest

by Donna Ladd
Village Voice

WEST PALM BEACH, NOVEMBER 15
Every Thursday evening, downtown West Palm Beach hosts a colorful,
profitable street party drawing everyone from blue-haired retirees to
Harley hoggers to the stroller brigade to young area hipsters. "Clematis by
Night," which runs from 5:30 to 9 p.m., has been a tradition around
Centennial Square since June 8, 1995, after Mayor Nancy Graham approved it
to help draw residents back downtown. The event is usually a middle-class
bacchanalia of sorts, where crafts and lemonade vendors rake in the bucks,
adults drink beer and listen to live music, and West Palm Beachers enjoy
pleasant, mild weather and breezy talk, even in mid November.

This week, however, on November 16, the mood is likely to be a bit darker.
A coalition of angry conservatives, neo-Nazis, Second Amendment zealots,
and Confederate flag wavers among them, are planning to crash the party.
Many of the same Gore-haters who forced Reverend Jesse Jackson off the
stage across town Monday at the Governmental Operations Center are planning
to stage a demonstration to protest recounts in Florida and tell the world,
"No more Gore!"

The founder of the Internet's first "hate" site will help lead the rally.
Don Black of Stormfront.org, which is beamed to the world from his home in
downtown West Palm Beach, two miles from the voting action this week at the
Emergency Operations Center, is promoting the rally on his Web site. Black
will be there with his 11-year-old son, Derek (the webmaster of Stormfront
for Kids.) Both father and son are featured in the HBO documentary
Hate.com, airing this week.

The Pat Buchanan supporter, who voted for George W. Bush to keep Al Gore
out, said Wednesday that he participated in the Jackson protest Monday,
which he insists was more anti-Gore than pro-Bush. "I was right in the
middle of things," Black said with a laugh. "Not a single reporter
recognized me. My ego was deflated in a way."

That is not entirely surprising. Although Black is a former deputy of KKK
leader David Duke's (and actually married Duke's former wife, Chloe), he
tries to stay below the media radar in his wife's hometown of West Palm
Beach, where they moved in 1987. Likewise, Black said that he is counseling
fellow "pro-white" extremists to show up to support Bush, but not to
emphasize their controversial stances such as support for the Confederate
flag.

"That's the kind of thing that I'm sure the Bush campaign doesn't want us
to get into. That's not the focus of it right now," he said. Still, at
heart, the protests are about race. "It's an implicit racial issue here,
which most people understand. But it's probably not to our advantage to
turn it into an explicit one."

It would also be detrimental to Stormfront and other conservative groups if
Thursday's protest turns violent. Frustrations in the state have escalated
as the contested election has become entangled in a web of court rulings
and appeals. "I told everybody not to come if they can't control their
temper," Black said. "Everybody's doing that; apparently it's worked. The
Jackson rally did get pretty tense for a while, though."

Black emphasized that Stormfront is not the sole organizer of the Thursday
rally; he gave most of the credit to NewsMax.com, a national conservative
news wire that has peppered protests all week with signs printed with its
URL. On its site, NewsMax calls for "troop enforcement" from local (and
distant) conservatives who feel "outnumbered by the marches led by Jesse
Jackson."

The site exhorts, "Stop the madness of anyone trying to steal this election
away from the American people and what they believe in!" NewsMax, which is
also published out of West Palm Beach, did not respond to a request to an
interview by press time.

Black said mainstream press coverage has been skewed in its assessment of
who actually lives in South Florida, especially when it comes to the potent
minority of "pro-white" Palm Beach voters. "Palm Beach being exclusively
Democratic and of course very Jewish and very cosmopolitan is not entirely
accurate," he said.

Observers say ballots manipulated by examiner

<http://www.washtimes.com/national/default-20001116225829.htm>

By Steve Miller
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
November 16, 2000

      WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. ‹ Five observers to Saturday's hand
count in Palm Beach County have filed affidavits in federal court
charging that a Democratic county commissioner manipulated
ballots so Al Gore would receive more votes than George W. Bush.

      Carol Roberts, a de facto appointee to the three-member
elections canvassing board, is accused in the filings of asking a
Democratic observer to the count whether ballots should count and
that she "twisted the ballots and poked her finger directly in
sections of, and aggressively handled, the ballots."

      On one occasion, observer John Grotta said in a sworn
statement, Miss Roberts looked at a ballot and said "
'Unfortunately, the corners aren't detached,' as she was
referring to a ballot that would have been a vote for Vice
President Gore."

      The most pointed charges in the affidavits were cited in a
request by the Palm Beach Republican Party that Miss Roberts, a
longtime Democrat, step down from the board because of her
partisan behavior in last week's sample count of 4,600 ballots.

      When the count found that Mr. Gore netted 19 more votes,
Miss Roberts was adamant about a full recount, asserting that Mr.
Gore could claim as many as 1,900 more votes based on the
sampling.

      Miss Roberts refused to remove herself from the panel,
saying in a public statement ‹ read by canvassing board chairman
Charles Burton to a press gallery that is now an encampment
outside the Emergency Operation Center here ‹ that the count was
done "in full view of public observers from both parties and
cameras from all over the world.

      "All board members examined and voted on all questioned
ballots and nearly all votes were unanimous. . . . I will
continue to be fair and impartial and will not recuse myself."

      Yesterday, Miss Roberts publicly challenged the election
powers of Secretary of State Katherine Harris, a Republican, in
the recount dispute, saying Attorney General Robert Butterworth,
a Democrat, had the proper authority. Mrs. Harris has been the
target of Democrats, who claim she is partisan and must recuse
herself.

      The partisan rancor has completely divided the sides in the
manual recount debate. Palm County's hand count was delayed
yesterday pending the state Supreme Court's opinion on the legal
standing of the process.

      The charge against Miss Roberts "is not a witch hunt," said
Mark Hoch, administrator for the county's Republican Party.

      "We have complaints coming out of the woodwork, and most of
the things we look at are unsubstantiated," Mr. Hoch said. "Carol
Roberts, though, can be seen as truly partisan."

      Miss Roberts arrived at the emergency center around 6:15
a.m. yesterday with a sheriff's deputy bodyguard and a personal
assistant. As a vocal advocate of the manual count in both Palm
Beach County and three other surrounding ‹ and Democrat-dominated
‹counties, Miss Roberts has thrived on the controversy
surrounding the recount.

      At one point this week, Miss Roberts said she would go to
jail to have the manual recount accomplished. In Palm Beach
County, recounts by hand and machine have added 787 votes for Mr.
Gore to an extra 119 for Mr. Bush ‹ a net Gore pick up of 668.

      The affidavits filed yesterday also include charges that
elections workers were reluctant to reassess votes despite the
protests of observers.

      In one case, a worker refused to recount a stack of ballots
that contained Bush votes, according to observer Mark Klimer.

      Mr. Klimer's statement included the accusation that Miss
Roberts picked up ballots from a stack that was to be evaluated
later by the entire board and interspersed them with a stack of
Gore votes.

      He also said the ballot evaluation was inconsistent. Some
ballots judged as Gore votes did not meet the agreed standards
for a valid vote, the West Palm Beach banker said.

      Mr. Klimer said yesterday he was in the counting room for 4
and 1/2 hours on Saturday. A Republican, Mr. Klimer said his
interest was not partisan: "I was there to make sure it was
fair."

      "Beyond a shadow of a doubt, what I saw is the absolute
truth," Mr. Klimer said.

      Miss Roberts is one of three Democrats on the seven-member
County Commission. She was elected in 1986 after serving 11 years
on the West Palm Beach City Council.

      When she became president of the Florida Association of
Counties in 1996, Miss Roberts took some heat for marking the
occasion with three days of festivities paid for with $55,000
from her business friends.
