Another stolen election?

As we learned in the last presidential election, the candidate who gets the most votes doesn't necessarily win.

"Hanging chads" on punch-card ballots was thought to be the culprit in Florida, but it wasn't. The real cause has been largely overlooked.

Before the 2000 election, 90,000 Floridians were purged as felons from voter lists. But, as investigative reporter and author ("The Best Democracy Money Can Buy") Greg Palast discovered, less than 5 percent of those purged had ever been charged or convicted of a crime.

Before 2000, voter lists had been prepared and checked by government officials. For the 2000 election, however, Florida's Secretary of State, now Congresswoman Katherine Harris, outsourced the job to a major GOP contributor, Database Technologies.

1. Most of the Wrongfully Purged Voters Will Still Be Off the Rolls for 2004

It is just "too hard" to get them all reinstated in time for the Presidential election.

It only took a few minutes to kick 90,000 eligible voters off the rolls, but to get back
on, each voter has to appeal. The application for reinstatment is a long, complex
administrative procedure, and very time-consuming, and there is a huge backlog.

What part of "The fix is in" don't you understand? We must find enough electoral
votes elsewhere.
