Florida: banana republic?

Bob Herbert reveals a "police investigation" that apparently targets black voters for intimidation:

"...Florida is a state that's very much in play in the presidential election, with some polls showing John Kerry in the lead. A heavy-handed state police investigation that throws a blanket of fear over thousands of black voters can only help President Bush.

The long and ugly tradition of suppressing the black vote is alive and thriving in the Sunshine State."
