Watchdog Group Wins Right to View Palm Beach Ballots

A Florida circuit court judge has ordered the Palm Beach election board to
make the county's disputed ballots available for inspection to Judicial
Watch, a conservative watchdog group, this morning. Circuit Court Judge Jorge
Labarga said that Florida's public record law allows citizens to inspect
ballots.
"We're looking at the ballots to see if there were any irregularities or
fraud," said Larry Klayman, Judicial Watch chairman. "We want to make sure it
[the count] was done publicly and honestly."
The group, which has tangled repeatedly with the Clinton administration over
various matters, is also seeking access to disputed ballots in Miami-Dade,
which has granted the request, and in Broward, which has refused.
Klayman said his group will review 5,000 to 10,000 ballots in Palm Beach with
the aid of an accounting firm that specializes in elections and election
fraud. He said more than 400 citizen volunteers will be on hand to observe.
County spokeswoman Denise Cote said that the only person who will handle the
ballots is supervisor of elections Theresa LePore. "This is an unprecedented
request," Cote said. "It could be a long and very tedious process."
Klayman said the review could last several days. He will ask a circuit court
judge in Broward County this morning to compel the Broward election board to
make that county's ballots available. The Florida Democratic Party plans to
file a motion this morning to stop the ballot inspection in Palm Beach.
