Republican Fraud will Disqualify 200,000 in Florida Vote


-- BBC Investigative Reporter Greg Palast Exposes How Democratic and African American Votes Will be Thrown Out --

-- Bush Gets "Head Start" in Florida with Tens of Thousands of Votes --


Rampant voter fraud in Florida will disqualify 200,000 mainly Democratic and African American voters on November 2, according to an article in next week’s Harper’s by Greg Palast, the BBC investigative reporter who in 2000 broke the original story regarding the infamous felon list in Florida. Palast’s findings were echoed in the October 14 New York Times Op Ed by Paul Krugman.

Who: Greg Palast, BBC Investigative Reporter

Ralph Neas, President, People for the American Way

What: Telephone press conference to speak about evidence of voter fraud

When: Tuesday, October 19

Background: For copy of Harper’s article or Palast’s DVD Bush Family Fortunes, call ************** or *********** at ***-***-****

In the Harper’s article, Palast illustrates how Bush has a "head start" on the voting before the first ballot is cast:

Palast documents that 180,000 votes will be cast but not counted -- 54% of which are expected to be overwhelmingly Democratic, African American precincts. Of that 180,000, 27,000 votes will be lost by highly predictable computer errors in mostly black precincts
Most of the 93,000 voters illegally purged in the 2000 election have not been allowed back on the rolls, despite media reports to the contrary; these voters are Democratic by a margin of four to one .

Jeb Bush’s office illegally barred more than 50,000 registrations, and then hid the evidence from U.S. Civil Rights investigators until Palast uncovered the hidden documents

Expanding on his new documentary "Bush Family Fortunes," which is a compilation of Palast’s BBC investigative reports on voter fraud and other wrongdoing, the Harper’s article documents how:

Touch-screen voting machines without paper ballots in 15 counties will result in a net lead of thousands of votes for Bush before a single ballot is cast. Thousands of people like Willie Steen, a Gulf War veteran who was illegally purged from the rolls in 2000, have still been unable to get back on the voter roles.

Criminal violations of federal law are being charged in Florida by the U.S. Civil Rights Commission based on the Palast evidence
Palast is author of the New York Times bestseller "Best Democracy Money Can Buy" (Penguin, 2004) and his film, Bush Family Fortunes, is taken entirely from his reports for BBC Television including Newsnight, Britain’s 60 Minutes.

1. Yeah but will OUR media run with it?

Nope. Roll over for the chimp.

[nodehopper]

2. I don't know...the pet media sure enorsed Kerry the other day

[Jack_Dawson]

4. They did? When?

Where was I? In what form did this "endorsement" come?

[nodehopper]

7. you know, the newspapers just did their endorsements

in the forms of the Op Eds they ran. A lot went to Kerry including some publications that endorsed Bush in 200o. Of course, that is just the print media...

[blm]

5. The broadcast media that whores for Bush reaches more people than print.

.

[nodehopper]

8. that's true :(

[ogradda]

3. i can just smell the lawsuits.

eom.

[nodehopper]

6. much good they will do after... eom

[ogradda]

9. didn't i hear that in florida

if they go to vote and can't for some reason they're supposed to get some kind of provisional ballot? and when it's shown they can vote their vote counts?

[OneBlueSky]

10. the Democrats have known about that list of 93,000 for 4 years . . .

why haven't they done anything about it? . . .

[Zhade]

11. GOOD FUCKING QUESTION!

NT!

[Doctor_J]

13. like what?

complain to Jeb? The Media? Ashcroft? Fat Tony?

[Doctor_J]

12. this is why I am pessimistic about 11/2

if you think FL is the only place Dems are being disenfranchised, you probably also believe * is a man of god. Nevada, Cinncinnati, and probably every other battleground state.

Sorry, but if * "wins" the election, it will be an even bigger fraud than 2000.

14. Add to the list above,

Palast also said we would have power outages which will affect the electronic voting machines and the vote totals. Wisconsin just had a suspicious power outage a few weeks ago. I was told it was so suspicious that the FBI was going to investigate. I haven't heard squat about it since. My opinion is that that was a "practice run" for Nov. 2. :(

16. oh god we are so screwed. eom.

15. Just started another post..

about how the local news here in Orlando is reporting that some people set up a bogus petion table at the UCF Campus, claiming to be getting signatures for tougher child molestation laws. They were really having people sign a document that changed their registration from Dem to Rep.
