The allegations of vote tampering, with black supporters of Al Gore said to be among the main victims, have already prompted an investigation by the Justice Department. Democrat officials argue that the number of spoiled votes in Miami was mysteriously higher than any other part of Florida, including the infamous ballot in Palm Beach. In some inner-city areas, one in ten ballot slips were thrown out of the count because they were apparently punched for two presidential candidates. Gus Garcia, a senior figure in the Miami-Dade Democratic Party, said last night: ³Of course our opponents are going to scream foul, but how else can you explain these figures unless there were dirty tricks. We need urgent action because while the courts can pick and choose over whether to allow hand counts, they have to act if they find fraud, and we believe that is what happened in parts of Miami.² Officials have discovered that while in the rest of Miami-Dade County under 3per cent of ballot slips were double-punched, in two dozen predominantly black areas between 8 and 11 per cent were fouled, the highest rates recorded in this area. The Democrats allege that some ballots had already been marked before being handed to voters. Once they added their punch hole against Mr Gore¹s name, the machines tallying the count would spot the other mark on the ballot and just dismiss it as a spoiled vote. Kendrick Meek, a state Senator, said: ³The claim that so many people in these areas were stupid and messed up the ballot doesn¹t ring true. These same people in the same precincts have never made so many mistakes before. And why are the mistakes only on the presidential vote, on what is a simple, single punch card ballot?² The Justice Department in Washington said: ³We have received allegations from areas of Miami-Dade which we are investigating. We have also been told there will be further allegations of election irregularities being sent to us.² Copyright 2000 Times Newspapers Ltd.
