Nick,

It is not a lie that many voters in Florida were disenfranchised from voting
(stopped by roadblocks, etc.), especially blacks in strong Democrat
precincts. It is not a lie that the ballot given in some precincts was
confusing, and not the same as the sample ballots sent to voters previously.
It is not a lie that while several precincts still had conflicting tallies
that Katherine Harris certified the election. It is also not a lie that
Katherine Harris, who certified the election, was also George W. Bush's
campaign manager in the State of Florida.

And as for your accusation that I intentionally lied to perpetrate a lie,
that's BS. It was a multiple choice question. I chose the answer that came
closest to what I and many, many others believe to be true.

Barbara
