Attention, Florida Readers:
Time for Floridians to Use Florida Law to Demand a Hand Recount!
by Tamara Baker
Friday, Nov. 17, 2000 -- SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA (AmpolNS) -- Like all overly-wussy 'ethical' Democrats, Judge Terry Lewis caved in this morning: Florida Secretary of state "Cruella DeHarris" gets to do whatever she damn well wants!
Enough is enough! It's time for ALL FLORIDIANS to use Florida law to DEMAND a HAND RECOUNT!
Here's how it's done:
If you live in Palm Beach County (or anywhere in Florida) and you want to see a recount, you need to file suit AS SOON AS POSSIBLE based on Florida law(102.168).
Here is the law:
(2)...Such contestant shall file a complaint, together with the fees prescribed in chapter 28, with the clerk of the circuit court within 10 days after midnight of the date the last county canvassing board empowered to canvass the returns certifies the results...
(3) ...The grounds for contesting an election under this section are:
(c) ...rejection of a number of legal votes sufficient to change or place in doubt the result of the election.
(e) Any other cause or allegation which, if sustained, would show that a person other than the successful candidate was the person duly nominated or elected to the office in question ...
The law is clear. As a citizen of Florida, you have the right to sue for a recount based on the rejection (by Katherine Harris) of legal votes!
If I lived in Florida, I would be doing it.
