AUSTIN -- Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dan Morales on Saturday said rival Tony Sanchez is not a good party loyalist, claiming that Sanchez's bank gave $100,000 to fund the 2000 Republican presidential recount battle in Florida.
"You know what they did with that money," Morales said at a meeting of the Texas Democratic Women. "They hired Republican lawyers to fight our efforts to make sure every vote counted, the vote of every senior citizen, the vote of every minority in Florida."
Sanchez's campaign denied Morales' accusation, saying the money was donated to the Republican National Committee several days before the 2000 election.
