What's that? The Miami Herald concluded that the voting office in Florida engaged in systematic voter fraud that changed the result of the election?
Try again. Doesn't say anything about "Systematic voter fraud."

Next time, quote the whole article, not the out of context part that standing alone would help your case.

Quote:
Their count showed that Bush's razor-thin margin of 537 votes -- certified in December by the Florida Secretary of State's office -- would have tripled to 1,665 votes if counted according to standards advocated by his Democratic rival, former Vice President Al Gore.

"In the end, I think we probably confirmed that President Bush should have been president of the United States," said Mark Seibel, the paper's managing editor.
"I think that it was worthwhile because so many people had questions about how the ballots had been handled and how the process had worked."

Ironically, a tougher standard of counting only cleanly punched ballots advocated by many Republicans would have resulted in a Gore lead of just three votes, the newspaper reported.
It says nothing about "systematic fraud". Please read the article before you post it. Thanks.
