Who ya gonna believe, me, or your lying eyes? TALLAHASSEE -- Gov. Jeb Bush lashed out at Jimmy Carter on Tuesday, saying the former president was off base in criticizing Florida elections.
In a Washington Post column Monday, Carter called Secretary of State Glenda Hood and other Florida election officials "highly partisan" and accused the governor of doing nothing to fix it.
"There's this constant haranguing of nonsense, including by President Carter, which is a huge surprise to me because I have admired his compassionate actions in his post-presidency," Bush said. "Without talking to a single person, without getting any information, he joins up with the MoveOn.org crowd, and I cannot tell you how disappointed I am."

Peter Schurman, executive director of MoveOn.org, responded: "As far as we know, President Carter is not one of our 2.8 million MoveOn.org members, and we haven't had the privilege of working with him. However, we do share his concerns about the integrity of the voting process in Florida."

Gov. Bush dismissed recent reports that electronic-voting machines in Hillsborough County are vulnerable to hacking. "That's bogus," Bush said.
