• November 2 -- Florida's Black Voters "Intimidated" by Long Lines?
Paul Krugman works in nasty accusations about Republican voter suppression of minorities in Florida: "Over the weekend, people in some polling places had to stand in line for four, five, even six hours, often in the hot sun. Some of them -- African-Americans in particular -- surely suspected that those lines were so long because officials wanted to make it hard for them to vote."

• November 2 -- Democrats "To Insure Voters Are Not Intimidated"
James Dao and Adam Liptak's front-page story passes along Democratic accusations of vote suppression: "In Florida, Republicans have said they will challenge 1,700 people with felons convictions if they show up to vote. Democrats have mustered thousands of poll watchers whose job will be to ensure that voters are not intimidated."

• October 29 -- The NYT: Your One-Stop Shop for Florida Gripes
Abby Goodnough forwards Democratic complaints from Florida about chief elections officer Glenda Hood: "Critics say that after the deeply polarizing recount, Gov.

• March 29 -- Still Harassing Katherine Harris
A lead editorial brings up liberal villain Katherine Harris and spreads misleading information on her role in the 2000 presidential election: "Purging voting rolls too aggressively, as Ms. Harris did in 2000, can change the party breakdown of the electorate." But the company that did the purging was hired by the state in 1998, before Harris took office.

• November 13 -- Bush, Panderer to the Panhandle
Could Bush actually favor the travel ban on U.S. travel to Cuba on principle? The thought doesn't occur to Christopher Marquis, who portrays Bush as pandering to Cuban-Americans: "[His] allies in Congress quietly eliminated a widely supported provision easing restrictions on American travel to Cuba from a major appropriations bill to save him from embarrassment over his political designs in Florida…."

• November 3 -- Just Die Already
A headline to a story on Terri Schiavo reduces her to an inconvenience: "With His Wife in Limbo, Husband Can't Move On."
