Finds Fault
S tory C ontinued F rom F ront P ace
sites that lacked sufficient resources
to confirm voter eligibility; failure to
process voter registration applications
under the “m otor voter” law in a timely
manner; use o f defective and compli­
c a te d b a llo ts th a t c a u se d m any
“overvotes” and “undervotes”; early
closing ofpolling places; relocation o f
polling places w ithout notice; use o f
old and defective election equipment
in poor precincts; failure to provide
requested language assistance to Hai­
tian A m erican and Latino American
voters; and failure to ensure access for
voters w ith disabilities.
The Com m ission also found that
the state failed to provide adequate
training its poll workers and committed
inadequate funds to voter education.
The Com m ission plans to release a
draft report on the Florida voting probe
by early April and the final report in
early June.

gling, this project is good new s for our
community,” said M ultnomah County
Chair Beverly Stein. "The millions o f
dollars that will be spent in Oregon will
help offset any traffic disruptions.”
"The Hunted" is being directed by
A cadem y A w ard w inner W illiam
Friedkin w ho directed over 20 films
including “T he French Connection”
and “T he Exorcist”. The film stars
A cadem y A w ard w inner Tom m y Lee

JFK) and A cadem y A w ard Nominee
Benicio Del Toro (Traffic, Usual Sus­
pects) and Connie Lielsen who re­
cently appeared in last summ er’s block­
buster, "Gladiator".
Tom m y Lee Jones portrays a re­
now ned w ilderness “tracker” who
specializes in training the military op­
eratives. The FBI enlists his support to
help track dow n a m an (Benicio Del
Toro) attacking hunters in the Cas­
cade M ountains. As the search and
chase takes us from the wilderness to
the street o f dow ntow n Portland, we
discover the suspect is one o f his
former students.
The production o f "The Hunted"
starts filming March 20 for three months
on location in Portland. The film will be
distributed by Param ount Pictures and
is scheduled for release in 2002.
