When were you first contacted by anyone connected with the Gore campaign?
A truthful answer may reveal that prior to election day the Gore campaign
was
planning a challenge to the certification of the vote in Florida and
elsewhere. Proving such a scheme would go a long way toward showing that
this theft, like everyday petty larcenies, was not reactive to events, but
rather a premeditated ploy.
Consider the following: A telemarketing firm, as the polls were closing,
was
instantly in place to call folks in Palm Beach County to encourage them to
complain about the style of the ballot. This suggests preparation.
Consider further: Team Gore's legal documents and strategies made public
as
early as Wednesday morning revealed a depth of knowledge about the
vulnerabilities of computer punch card voting machines that would take
days
to research and digest and more days to formulate a strategy to exploit.
Gore's people knew all about "hanging chad" - a phrase not more than one in
one million people had ever heard before. Chad has been at the core of a
strategy they have executed flawlessly.
Thursday afternoon - two days after election day - I called and spoke with
Bush's Florida campaign legal counsel. I told him about "hanging chad"
and
the need of the Bush campaign to at least think about asking for manual
recounts, in the 24 hours they had left to do so, in heavily Republican
counties to counteract Gore's selective hand recounts in Democrat
counties.
This very bright lawyer clearly did not understand what I was talking
about
and what had to be done. I would have been surprised if he had. No one
on
the Bush team apparently understood fully the Gore gambit and how it would
play out, not even a full day after they had begun to see it.
These are not dumb people. They were behind-the-curve people. Maybe
months
behind a curve.
Why does this matter? Because if it can be shown that the theft of this
Presidential election was planned before a single ballot was cast, then at
the center of that campaign is a heart of darkness unfit to govern.
The kidnapper of the Lindbergh baby was convicted in part because of
papers
in his home documenting his plan. What is in certain lawyers' files?
What
is in William Daley's files? Congress should subpoena them.
But in the meantime, reporters need to ask: What did you know and when
did
you know it?
