<x-flowed>Ann Coulter apparently made the claim recently that
(1) Kerry claims that 1 million blacks were disenfranchised in Fla in 2000, and that this is of course wildly off;
(2) blacks made up only 11% of the registered voters in Fla in 2000 and yet accounted for 17% of the vote, thus giving the lie to the claim that there was any significant black disenfranchisement in Fla.

Does anyone happen to know the accuracy of these figures? SJM
