Sara Taylor dispatched to Florida Recount 2000 to create pinpoint tracking system for ballots
For an amnesiac, Ms. Sara Taylor certainly knows "Karl's math."

Ms. Taylor threw sand in the faces of Congress today about her *lack of knowledge* of vote caging and disenfranchising tactics aimed against minorities.

Not so fast, Ms. Taylor.



After the cliffhanger election, she was dispatched to Florida to help with recount efforts. Often pulling volunteers from Texas off the floor for not paying attention to their tasks, she eventually developed a pinpoint tracking system that literally traced each recounted ballot.

"It's methodical," Taylor said one evening last week over dinner on Capitol Hill. "You create a system to check every ballot and then you have a spreadsheet in place to tell you where you are. We always knew if we lost one vote or picked one up."

Described by her former colleagues as a tireless worker, Taylor's stature only grew after Bush took control of the White House in 2001. First charged with overseeing the Midwest in the political office led by Ken Mehlman, she joined the 2004 reelection campaign as a top strategist. Taylor was involved in everything from media planning and travel schedules to polling and research.

Asked about her rapid rise, Taylor, who was a finance major in college, said, "I would argue a lot of it had to do with my analytical ability. I think a lot of political operatives have good people skills and great social skills and work really hard, but everyone's not really good at math."




Again, these two very young women are key to unraveling GOP election fraud and theft of Elections 2000 and 2004.

1. Goodling was there, too
As were some of the others. McNulty, of course, was all over that recount. I hope some of this gets out.

6. Yeah, she studied Voodoo Economics 101 n/t
For 32, she looks like she's much older. Lying sure ages you, look at the faces of those White House thieves, they ALL look older than they are...

7. thanks
I was wondering what her major was.

PS - I was looking for info on her earlier. She was a national co-chair for the college republicans.
Someone in a different thread was saying they felt (sort of) sorry for her, that she had got in over her head. She was a political director, so I'm thinking Rove wanted people much like himself to work closely with him. 'm 90% sure she's as much a snake as he. And if she's not, it only because she lacks experience.

14. I knew she'd do this
Bush wasn't worried about her testimony because he knew she'd tow the party line. He was worried about Harriet Meir's though. That's why he told her not to testify.
