Talking

From the article

Quote:
Bush told the Herald-Tribune that Craft didn't call him, and he denied that any meeting took place May 3 with Craft or other election officials.


"Once it became clear after talking to the secretary of state that there were problems with the list (in July), that's when we decided to end it," Bush said.


Craft hung up on a Herald-Tribune reporter seeking comment Friday. A message left for a Paul Craft in Tallahassee was not immediately returned Saturday.
I think he really means "After the media sued to look at the list, and after we failed to stop them, and after examination driven by the media it was found to be less than %90 accurate, and after members of a large Republican voting block were shown to have been 'accidentally excluded' I met with my Secretary of State, who is also a Republican, and told her 'If I try keep this up, we're all going to jail.'"

"It's also irrelevant because the list isn't being used," Bratina said Saturday.

Simple solution - make it a state law to pay any eligible voter turned away $10,000, the money to be paid by the county, state, and company who placed them on the list. That should make the list more honest.

Last paragraph in the link

Election officials have said that anyone who feels they have been inadvertently removed from the voter rolls on Nov. 2 will be allowed to use a provisional ballot that will be examined later to determine eligibility.
Well, Mr Jones, it seems you were wrongly listed. We're very sorry, we'll count your provisional ballot right now. Let's see now, did you vote fer or agin us?
