Greg Palast Gave Me A Buzzkill

[ALago1]

Excerpt from his new column:

It's not even Election Day yet, and the Kerry-Edwards campaign is already down by a almost a million votes. That's because, in important states like Ohio, Florida and New Mexico, voter names have been systematically removed from the rolls and absentee ballots have been overlooked—overwhelmingly in minority areas, like Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, where Hispanic voters have a 500 percent greater chance of their vote being "spoiled."

Through a combination of sophisticated vote rustling—ethnic cleansing of voter rolls, absentee ballots gone AWOL, machines that "spoil" votes—John Kerry begins with a nationwide deficit that could easily exceed one million votes.

Is Greg just being overly alarmist or is all this legitimate? How can we challenge all of this bullshit from the right-wing?

This really put a damper on my day. Can anyone cheer me up?

1. Sorry, not gonna go there...

...gotta get rested up and ready to drive _Democratic_ voters to the polls tomorrow.

Lots of time for idle speculation starting November 3, though. See you then, Greg!

...on your face. :-)

5. They used to call him 'Buzzkill Greg' in college

GOTV is how we counter what he's describing, at least at this point.

Then we got to change things so it doesn't happen again. Just like we said last time.
