BBC documents voter intimidation in FL

Written by Rob Hunter

A secret document obtained from inside Bush campaign headquarters in Florida suggests a plan--possibly in violation of US law--to disrupt voting in the state's African-American voting districts, a BBC Newsnight investigation reveals. Two e-mails, prepared for the executive director of the Bush campaign in Florida and the campaign's national research director in Washington DC, contain a 15-page so-called "caging list". It lists 1,886 names and addresses of voters in predominantly black and traditionally Democrat areas of Jacksonville, Florida.
