-Caveat Lector- Radman, Once again you are promoting disinformation. This is NOT a copy of the Commission Report and the author assumes very wrongly that the 'election officials' to whom Ms. Berry refers are Jeb and Katherine when in fact it is the Democratic poll workers. I watched this on C-Span and the commission stated repeatedly that NO EVIDENCE OF DELIBERATE NOR CRIMINAL WRONG DOING WAS FOUND. In fact, it was the local poll workers, Democratic in most Black neighborhoods, who caused most of the trouble and Ms. Berry commented on that fact, too. So you have found somebody who has wrongly supplied the names of those to whom the report alludes. That is why there is no coverage on this. It is a non-story because it basically never happened. Why don't you post the portions of the actual report instead of this joker's interpretation of it? That would be far more accurate. And, yes, Ms. Berry will ry to hang something on Katherine Harris because that is so much better for her than admitting this was a colossal waste of taxpayer's money and yet another Jackson bogus charge. It should also be embarrassing to those of you who cried 'wolf' that it turned out to be the black poll workers causing most of the trouble. Don't tell me it wasn't because I listened to ALL the testimony and watched lots of it and also on the follow up, everything CSPAN carried on it. I think the commission should be humiliated that they fell for this based on the pitifully lacking testimony given. They are just trying to enhance their budget with this bogus investigation of nothing. Worse things happen to whites at every election and they do not whine and carry on for months. They correct their registration and get on with it. Routine anecdotal incidents were blown out of proportion in an attempt by the deceitful to fabricate a civil rights incident. It fell short.
