THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER

FRIDAY, JANUAF

ELECTION Continued from A1 said. U.S. Rep. Earl Hilliard, D-Ala.. a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, said an estimated 300,000 votes were not counted nationwide. As many as 60 percent were those of minority voters, he said. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has been called to appear in Tallahassee. Fla., before a U.S. Commission on Civil Rights inquiry into Florida's presidential election. The commission will hold hearings into whether Floridians' voting rights were violated, after complaints were made to the Department of Justice by the Rev. Jesse Jackson and others alleging that some Black voters were denied access to the polls. Several groups, as well as dozensof Black members of Congress, have alleged that Black voters were kept from the polls in Florida and other states on Election Day, and ballots of others were systemati-

cally discarded. Exit polls showed that nine out of!() Blacks voted for Vice President Al Gore rather than Republican George W. Bush. Many Gore supporters believed manual recounts of ballots in disputed Florida precincts would give him the nationwide victory, but a bitterly divided U.S. Supreme Court halted the recounts Dec. 12. Florida's 25 electoral votes gave Bush the presidency. Jackson has promised demonstrations in the days leading up to the inauguration and is to appear in a Jan. 20 rally in Tallahassee. Protests are also scheduled in Chicago and other cities. Among events planned in Washington is a "Shadow Inaugural” march by the Rev. Al Sharpton on Jan. 20, Inauguration Day, to the Supreme Court building. "Never again will the AfricanAmerican vote be taken for granted." said Martin Luther King III, who heads the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. "That is what this election showed us.”
