New claims of irregularities surface amid voting in trouble-prone Florida

Tue Nov 2, 5:09 PM ET U.S. National - AFP

WEST PALM BEACH, United States (AFP) - Claims of irregularities surfaced as throngs of voters in trouble-prone Florida cast their ballots under the watchful eyes of thousands of observers.

The problems once again raised the specter of the 2000 debacle, when legal wrangling and vote recounts in Florida held up the outcome of the presidential election for 36 days.


Several voters, many of them in traditionally Democratic-voting black areas, complained that they received phone calls or flyers sending them to wrong precincts, or even telling them they were not registered to vote.


"Voters are lighting up our phone lines in response to these calls," said Theresa LePore, the head electoral official in Palm Beach county.


"It's terrible," she told journalists outside a synagogue in a West Palm Beach retirement community where voters were casting ballots.

2. each event works as smokescreen for massive fraud and suppression
remember Dole said about the Swifties - "they ALL couldn't be lieing..."

Well, yes, they are.
