Seminole Wrong
How they get away with making the case.
By James A. Cooley
Reporter
The Lone Star Report National Review
I have been struggling with a way to express the fundamental
wrong being advocated in a courtroom in Seminole County.
Watching the smug plaintiff's attorneys, I wondered why all
Americans couldn't see the travesty being so calmly discussed.
Win or lose, their actions were clearly establishing a dangerous
precedent that put the voting rights of all Americans at risk.
Yet, to succeed, this plan depended upon doing to all at once
what couldn't be done one at a time.
A paradox? Let me explain.
Suppose that, instead of the Republican party, it had been the
NAACP that had performed the flawed Seminole County absentee
ballot drive? Would there be a lawyer in the world willing to
argue in public that absentee ballots submitted by thousands of
black Americans should be thrown out?
Not a very likely prospect, is it? This is apt to be the case
even if the help to the voter was rendered in an inadvertent
violation of statute.
Or. what if the Seminole ballots belonged to Hispanic-Americans
recruited through MALDEF? Older Americans located by the AARP?
Veterans assisted by the American Legion? Gay Americans targeted
by Act-Up? Disabled people being aided by ADAPT?
Simply substitute any other recognized minority group in American
for the Republican party in this case and see how everything
changes. Just imagine the firestorm of protest if
political-activist attorneys tried to claim these ballots from
any so-called protected class of Americans were tainted and could
be trashed. The media would, of course, be positively outraged.
The U.S. Justice Department would also likely be waiting in the
wings to defend the rights of these oppressed individuals.
Yet, in these 15,000 absentee votes in Seminole County, there are
apt to be presidential votes cast from every minority group
mentioned above. All of them.
So, if it is unthinkable to think of disenfranchising the members
of separate groups individually, why is it just fine to think
about doing the same to all of them � and everyone else � in one
fell swoop?
I guess the key to getting away with such an act of oppression is
to disenfranchise everyone all at once.
Then, while on the topic of illegal ballots, we have another
glaring example that few seem willing to look at.
Remember the little matter of the convicted felons who voted
illegally? Media estimates of the total ex-con vote in Florida
have run as high as 2,000. The same news stories revealed party
affiliations that ran about
75 percent Democrat.
To be consistent with the goals espoused by the Democrat Seminole
County vote-snatchers, the only fair answer is to deduct these
2,000 or so illegal votes from the statewide total. Given the
party affiliation ratios, three-fourths of the votes stripped
should obviously come from Al Gore's column.
Surely, Mr. Gore would not want to remain the beneficiary of at
least 1,500 votes that he � and everyone else � knows with a
clear certainty were illegally cast. When should we look for Al
to demand these tainted ballots be scrapped?
Hint: Look for Satan in snowshoes first.
