-Ever been to Broward county? Mostly demoncrats there. Yet no note of the correlation of where the problems in Florida occured and the political majority in the region. Also, no mention of exactly how many were Libertarians, Republicans, and Independents. Coincidence? I think not.
"In his book, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, Palast tells how the State of Florida hired a company named DBT for four million dollars to remove felons from the electoral list to keep them from voting."
- Felons are not allowed to vote. They lose their right to vote when they commit a crime. As it should be.
"Thousands of people came to the electoral office to vote only to find out that they were felons"
- They didn't KNOW they were felons. Are they implying that our jails and prisons hold an annual open house where anyone can come and stay for the night? Yeah, right.

You don't get it do you? A fuzzy database search was done to remove the voting right of people that had *SIMILAR* names to felons -- in many cases this just meant if you had a "black sounding" last name you lost your right to vote. This is not fiction. |
