Betty Castor lost by 80,000 votes.
John Kerry lost Florida by 380,000 votes.
John Kerry lost Florida by 380,000 votes.
There have been tons of accusations of rampant voter fraud in Florida. It is possible that the vote counts in Florida are way off. Given that the primary reason for Bush's win was gay marriage and "values," if there are a bunch of extra Kerry votes doesn't it make sense that there are a bunch of Castor votes too? I mean, how many Kerry voters are going to show up and vote for a guy who was farther to the right than Bush?
If John Kerry doesn't have the guts to speak up about how he lost, maybe Betty Castor can. If there were tens of thousands of votes manipulated in Florida, maybe Kerry didn't win but maybe Castor did.
Bob Graham would be the perfect person to talk about this - he's already retiring - nothing to lose.
