The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights approved a report Friday that suggests blacks disproportionately had their ballots discounted in Florida's elections, leading to widespread violations of the Voting Rights Act.

The panel accepted investigators' findings by a 6-2 vote, with both members appointed by Republicans voting no.

The report asks the Justice department to investigate the problems in Florida. Black voters had their ballots discounted at a rate far higher than nonblacks, the report said. The commission says it has no evidence of a conspiracy but would like an investigation to find out if any of the disparity was intentional.

Commission Chairwoman Mary Frances Berry said she hoped the report will be sent to President Bush, Attorney General John Ashcroft and Congress and she hopes it will renew interest in electoral reforms.

"One of the most disappointing things to me is that I thought there would be more interest in electoral reform," she said afterward.

The report inflamed passions about the close vote in Florida six months after the election was finally decided. It said thousands of Floridians, especially black voters, were deprived of their votes by outdated equipment, improper purging of voter rolls and inadequate access to voting booths.

The report is harshly critical of state officials, including Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Secretary of State Katherine Harris.

Harris on Thursday accused the commission's chairwoman of putting politics above solving problems related to the disputed election.
