CShine 0 Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 Attorneys Ed Stafman and Michael Olin, representing Maddox and Reform Party members Alan Hermann of Broward County and Candice Wilson of Pinellas County, said the party has been "hijacked" by a small fringe of members. They said fewer than 65 Reform Party members held a teleconference on May 11 and designated Nader in a few states, including Florida, and then fewer than 50 delegates to a "working convention" in Irving, Texas, ratified that choice in August - for the sole purpose of meeting Florida's requirement of a national convention."There are more people in this room right now, Your Honor, than there were on that phone call that nominated Ralph Nader in May," Olin told Davey. "We in this room could hold a meeting and nominate a candidate for president, then send out for beer and pizzas - but we would not have the right to get that person on the Florida ballot." Maddox, the Democratic chairman, said Gov. Jeb Bush and Hood made a decision "tinged with politics" when they accepted Nader's certification by the Reform group. Maddox said Nader's Reform candidacy was "a sham" that was quicker than getting the required petition signatures. "The bottom line is, we welcome all lawful, qualified candidates on the ballot," Maddox said. "But the rules should be the same for everyone and his 'party' did not qualify the right way."

The Reform party has been a recognized party for some time now. Why kick them out now? Oh yeah, that's right. Seems here lately they have been taking votes away from the demons. Sure wasn't a problem back when Perot took all those republican votes. HYPOCRITS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietfan 233 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well, the courts do have a tradition, dating to at least November 2000, of resolving voting controversies in Florida... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
