Which indicates that they are neck and neck if you take into account the margin for error in these polls. It's going to be close. But if it's that close then you know that Bush will be able to squeeze through on top with all the tactics he will have at his disposal.
I wouldn't excpect anything less dirty from Kerry, but he hasn't had four years to rig this one better than the last one was.
but civil rights activists as well as some Florida county elections supervisors have charged that those lists contained numerous errors, and that thousands of eligible voters were prevented from casting ballots in the election.
"Florida's 2000 felon purge program resulted in over 50,000 legal voters being disenfranchised," said Leon County elections supervisor Ion Sancho in a written statement.

CNN is suing the state, claiming the public and media should also be able to review the list.

You are aware of the shenanigans that went on in Florida in 2000 prior to the elections aren't you?
The officials in charge of voter rolls got a list of felons from a firm that itself told them was inaccurate and needed to be corrected, but the state officials declined and used the erroneous list. What they did with that was purge african Americans from the voter roles as 'felons'. Many didn't even have the same exact name, some weren't even the correct sex, some weren't even the same race. They erroneously purged African Americans, but not Hispanic Floridians, who are historically mostly Republican, or whites.

You do the math. What do you think?
In any event CNN is SUING the states refusal to release this years voter purge list.

exactly. Jeb
Does it really matter who or where, the election was corrupted. At the hands of the Republicans.
(and yes I know Kennedy probably won due to dead Chicago voters voting in 1960)
