These are allegations, not evidence. Suppositions and opinion (partisan
opinion) rather than actual factual evidence of disenfranchisement.
Apparently, that distinction is lost on you.

Investigations showed no roadblocks, no intentional and clear
disenfranchisement.

Counties in Florida run elections. The worst county in Florida was a Dem
controlled one, Palm Beach, so the blame ought to be laid exactly where it
belongs... on the party that actually created the alleged roadblocks or
belief that such existed.
