Reply #11: Your eloquent account of what went on in Florida is one reason

Why both Mr Delphi and I hated the moveie "Recount"

They bent over backwards to make the story as bland as possible. And the only people complaining are Baker, who doesn't like being portrayed as being so assertive, and the Secretary of State Warren Christopher, for being portrayed as such a wimp. it was so dialectical in its approach that you didn't get the sense of outrage that fueled the black caucus as they stood before the Senate some weeks later and asked that a Senator join them to not certify the vote.

"Recount" should have included the drama surrounding your type of experience. To really tell it like it is - that in every single voting jurisdiction in the land,** the people in the top are Repuglicans or might as well be Repuglicans. Reading yr account of "Jared" -- I see in him so many Registrars of Voters, They explain to their contituents that they are registered as independents - yet they employ people to carry out the exact tactics that the cops outside the polling place took to intiomidate the voters. They afind it very easy to lie but they are not Indies but Repugs.

Please send this off as an OP to as many newspapers as you can think of. It is an important experience and we need to keep shoving it in front of the American public's collective face.

**perhaps this doesn't happen in progresive college towns - but everywherelse
