Ultra-right-wing Cubans and other Bush thugs intimidated Miami officials into stopping the re-count ordered by the Florida Supreme Court.

CNN said the canvassing board had decided that given the tight deadline of Sunday at 3 p.m., they would start their recount with undervotes not read by the machine. According to the Orlando Sentinel, this partial recount procedure is exactly the procedure that was used in Seminole County.

CNN also said there were 10,750 undervotes to be counted and the majority were from African-American precincts likely to yield more votes for Gore. FOXNews said the mob got wind of this partial recount and massed in the hallway outside.ÿAccording to FOX, dozens of protesters were “banging on the wooden doors” of the room where the recount was taking place begging to be let in.ÿSimilar shouting outside the room was reported by MSNBC.

The recount was stopped and the canvassing board met again to hear testimony and reconsider its decision. The board voted 2-1 to continue the recount days earlier then voted 3-0 to stop the recount.

There were thousands of anti-Castro Cubans encouraged by their Congresswoman to defy the Florida Supreme Court ruling and protest a recount. The crowd was interested in disrupting counting and Miami/Dade has not provided adequate security. It will take more than court action for all the recounts requested by the Gore team to take place.
