Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Kerry Prepares for Voting Problems in Florida

HeadlineMar 09, 2004

Kerry campaigned in Florida ahead of Tuesday’s primary. According to the Boston Globe, the Senator came closer than he has before in questioning the legitimacy of Bush’s elected hold on the White House. He said “You’d think that somebody, remembering what happened here in this great state, who was finally put in office by the Supreme Court of the United States, would actually recognize the division of the nation and try to reach out. But, oh no — they shut the doors on Democrats, my way or the highway on this policy or that policy; misled America time and again.” Kerry also announced that he was putting together a legal team to monitor voting districts in Florida that reported problems in 2000. His campaign also plans to “pre-challenge” any irregularities it suspects in the balloting process.
