The Ugly Secret

Here's an ugly little secret about American democracy: We don't count all the votes. In 2004, based on the data from the US Elections Assistance Commission, 3,006,080 votes were not counted: "spoiled," unreadable and blank ballots; "provisional" ballots rejected; mail-in ballots disqualified.

This Tuesday, it will be worse. Much worse.

That's what I found while traveling the nation over the last year for BBC Television and Rolling Stone Magazine, working with voting rights attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This we guarantee: there will be far more votes disappeared by Tuesday night than the three million lost in 2004. A six-million vote swipe, quite likely, shifts 4 percent of the ballots, within the margin of error of the tightest polls.

Begin with this harsh statistic: since the last election, more than ten million voters have been purged from the nation's vote registries. And that's just the start of the steal.

1. Greg Palast is a fraud.

He reports rumors as facts and suppresses any information that goes against the "they're about to steal it!" scenario. Flame away; I don't give a fuck.

2. "I don't give a fuck."

At least you're honest.

2000 and 2004 very much on my mind right now!

5. So do you have information that refutes what he said............

I would love to see it for my own peace of mind. Where can a find this info? Oh, by the way, do you think Robert Kennedy, Jr. is a fraud too? Just curious.

4. We need to react if this one is stolen from us or it will continue for some time to come
