"The biggest purge of voters in history" ... (2008)

[Blarch]

-Greg Palast.

In swing-state Colorado, the Republican Secretary of State conducted the biggest purge of voters in history, dumping a fifth of all registrations. Guess their color.

In swing-state Florida, the state is refusing to accept about 85,000 new registrations from voter drives – overwhelming Black voters.

In swing state New Mexico, HALF of the Democrats of Mora, a dirt poor and overwhelmingly Hispanic county, found their registrations disappeared this year, courtesy of a Republican voting contractor.

In swing states Ohio and Nevada, new federal law is knocking out tens of thousands of voters who lost their homes to foreclosure.

1. OK damn it this has to be stopped !!!!

If the repukes steal another election we have to have a revolution.
It will be time to take to the streets and stop this mad government

[Arugula Latte]

3. Oh, but American Idol is on ... so so much for the revolution

People just shrug. I know even self-described liberals who think that rigged elections aren't true because "the media would have covered it." :eyes:

[WinkyDink]

15. Please. At least pick a show that is current.

[valerief]

18. Pick on sports. They're most ubiquitous than AI. "Oh, but sports is on.

I can't do anything cuz I need to watch ____ball."

[Franks Wild Years]

21. Well, here's what you say to that...

"Do you think the North Korean/Zimbabwean/Chinese/+insert numerous other contenders here+ media cover their own government's dubious practices?"

4. Kicked and Recommended!

THEY'RE STEALING IT AGAIN!!!!!

[az chela]

9. Yup they are and it it getting very scary that they are doing what

they did in Florida and we all know how that one went.I have never been so shocked about anything in my life when bush got the election again

[katty]

5. one party system

[Blarch]

10. right-now, even more entrenched

[WeDidIt]

6. IF they steal a third one, it's time to go big time UNDERGROUND

No more pussy footing around if they steal a third election.

7. I was telling a coworker about this today

He said it should be illegal. :crazy:

[az chela]

11. GODDAMN IT

IT IS ILLEGAL

[sniffa]

12. It is, and it apparently isn't

The right to vote is no longer guaranteed. It hasn't been for some time now.

13. There's a chapter in "Armed Madhouse" that explores this.

Very interesting, but infuriating reading.

First they purge the rolls, then destroy provisional ballots when the "purged" later attempt to challenge and vote.

Classic Repiglicon and very effective.

They are starting to challenge "voter fraud" in Battleground States with Democratic Governors, as well - read an article from Va. today regarding this phenomenon.

They know they will have to pull out ALL the stops to rig THIS ONE.

14. I have this book

I need to reread it
We cannot let this happen.No more,bushco has just about destroyed this country

Threaten litigation your name will appear miraculously. Spread the word.

17. Here we go again...

DAMN IT!

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

19. THANK YOU - THIS is why we need a FEATURED BOARD on election fraud 08

We need rapid response.

There ARE things that can be done. But, first, we must expose it.

We CAN fight back.

[Divine Discontent]

22. DEBBIERLUS - AGREED! DU ADMINS PLEASE ANSWER THIS REQUEST!

I have long thought we need like an action board on here that specifically, not only details what's going on, but directs us each day how we can group together to push for change to happen. As we know in life, change ONLY happens when people join together... If we addressed these facts from the OP to Barack, he would shake his head and say it's not right and people need to help keep this from happening - but with all that's going on in our own lives, it's hard to figure out what to do and when - but if we spent our time organzing in one action forum - we could do a LOT more than we each do separately!

Seeing they're doing this again really makes me :mad:

20. Federal election laws for all states

Same day voter registration. Same requirements for all states. Voting requirements in a federal election is a federal issue not a state issue. Its the only solution to this.

[muntrv]

23. Another reminder that the repukes are opposed to the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

[polichick]

24. How is that legal? And where's the DNC?
