{Looks like Jesse should have stayed home and he and JJ Jr. tended their own
problems. These are identical to the ones in Florida. Where are the cries
of "disenfranchisement"? I wonder when black people are going to realize
that making Jesse rich does not enhance their lives at all. These Limousine
Liberals are totally self-serving. Guess this is a Demonrat vast conspiracy
to deny blacks the right to vote. Where are the threats and the outrage?
It is OK in Illinois but not Florida? AKE}}
Legal War on Chads Heats Up

Friday, Jan. 12, 2001
First Florida, then Georgia, now Illinois: Suits are being filed to end
punch-card balloting. Chicago, with Democratic officials in control,
rejected 70,000 such ballots.
According to the Associated Press:
The American Civil Liberties Union went to federal court Thursday to banish
the voting system producing "chads" that is used in 89 Illinois counties,
including Cook County, which contains Chicago.
This follows on the heels of similar action in Florida and Georgia, where
civil rights groups argue the error-prone punch-card system disenfranchises
thousands of black voters.
Some 70,000 Chicago ballots were thrown out and not counted in the Nov. 7
presidential election because no vote for president had been punched or
there were votes for more than one candidate.
Harvey Grossman, state ACLU legal director, said the error rate was highest
in predominantly minority precincts.
Fewer ballots were disqualified in counties with an optical scanner system,
which is what the ACLU wants to replace punch cards.
Used now in only 13 Illinois counties, the scanner system warns voters who
make a mistake, allowing them to revise their votes before their ballot is
recorded.
