Bush Responds To Complaints Of Harassment Of Early Voters

<snip>
Bush, in a letter sent Sunday to Orange supervisor of elections Bill Cowles, said he was disturbed by the complaints, adding any harassing behavior should not be tolerated under Florida's election laws.
<snip>

Cowles reported to Bush that his office has been "bombarded" with complaints of harassment at early voting places, mainly at Orange County's eight library sites.
Cowles wrote that solicitors and observers were "creating havoc" with voters and employees, while media representatives were a problem by insisting on being in the room where voters mark their ballots. The letter said observers were obstructing employees from helping voters.
He also said he may be forced to close down the eight library sites and move all early voting to the main office.
