In a new report, the NAACP and People for the American Way cite incidents from Florida to Detroit. Once a tool of Democrats in the Jim Crow South, NAACP chairman Julian Bond said efforts at intimidation and suppression "have increasingly become the province of the Republican Party" as it seeks to counter the overwhelming advantage Democrats enjoy among black voters. Republican National Committee spokeswoman Christine Iverson said that the two nonpartisan groups are attempting to spin unrelated events into a conspiracy, and their motivation is to help Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry defeat President Bush. RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie wrote a letter last month to Democratic National Committee Chairman Terence McAuliffe offering to send bipartisan teams to precincts to ensure fair play, Iverson said. The offer was rejected. Republicans want every eligible vote to count, she said, and "if Democrats are serious about this, they will join us." DNC spokesman Tony Welch said the GOP's silence on recent events in Florida shows that the offer "isn't worth the paper it's printed on." There, the GOP secretary of state was forced to abandon an effort to remove felons from the state's voting rolls after newspapers discovered that the "purge" list erroneously would have disenfranchised thousands of qualified voters, many of them black. Elsewhere in Florida, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is looking into allegations that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement intimidated black voters in Orlando to scare them away from the polls in November. Democrats and Republicans have long feuded over whether efforts to protect against ballot fraud constitute voter intimidation. But the debate has taken on more urgency in the wake of the 2000 deadlocked presidential election. In Florida, the Civil Rights Commission found that black voters were 10 times more likely than whites to have their ballots rejected, a trend that also was found in other parts of the country. To prevent against a repeat, more than 60 nonprofit groups have banded together to form a "Voter Protection Coalition." Copyright 2004, KnoxNews. All Rights Reserved.
