Computer Controversy Focuses On Katherine Harris

Democrats Cry Foul Over Computer Records

A computer controversy has led some members of Florida's Democratic party to call for the resignation of Secretary of State Katherine Harris.

Katherine HarrisThe action is the latest fallout over the voting in Florida during the presidential election.

Computer experts have reviewed files on Harris' office computers and say that they were used to promote George W. Bush's presidential campaign.

Democrats are crying foul, while Republicans say that Harris (pictured) did nothing wrong.

"This review completely vindicates what the secretary's maintained all the way through. It completely vindicates the secretary's performance in office and completely vindicates her performance during the recount," Harris spokesman David Host said.

"This does not exonerate her. (There are) still more questions. Why is she doing work for the Bush campaign on state time, on state equipment? The Bush campaign didn't pay for those computers, the people of Florida did and they deserve some answers," Tony Welch of the Florida Democratic party said.

The review of the computers also showed that Harris was registered to vote in two counties.

Records show that she only voted once in the presidential election. Despite the controversy, a member of Harris' office says the secretary of state has no intention of stepping down.
