ABC News: Bush Brothers No Longer Back Harris

ABC News: Bush Brothers No Longer Back Harris: "She retained ChoicePoint to remove felons from the voting rolls, ignoring complaints for years that the firm had continuously removed legitimate voters, ones who often had ethnic names."

Surprise!

What amazes me is that the woman who perpetrated one if the most public election frauds of this century expects to run for the Senate in the first place. Her name is so tainted by electoral scandal that even the Bushes won't back this horse anymore.

57,000 legitimate voters were denied the right to vote in Florida due to Katherine Harris' retention of choicepoint to purge felons from the voter rolls. These citizens were denied the right to vote simply for the crime of being black, and likely democratic votors in Jeb Bush's Florida. Katherine Harris' office instructed choicepoint to use the loosest possible matching standards - eliminating thousands of African - American votes.

As an example - if a white man named Samuel Walton Jr committed a felony in Texas, then an African American Sam Walker Sr might be disenfranchised in Florida. Harris instructed choicepoint to match on only three letters and to ignore suffixes like Jr, Sr the II nd etc.

Never mind her outrageously transparent partisan meddling in certifying the 2000 election result in Florida....

The telling thing is that the Bush's aren't backing her, not because she is a fraud and a cheat, but because they feel she wouldn't win.

This fits right in with the "get my way at any cost" ethical myopia of the Bush family, and the climate of corrution they have created in Washington.
