Supression of the Black Vote in Florida By Governor Bush?

Bob Herbert columnizes on an "investigation" by Jeb Bush's police force (werd thing: Florida State Police answer to the governor) into voter fraud. Seems they decided to investigate criminal voter fraud among absentee ballot voters in the black community, and have interviewed dozens of elderly black voters in their homes "selected at random". However, they won't say what the investigation is about, what the alleged infractions are. Bob Herbert suggests the point is actually to intimidate elderly black voters from voting.
