The movement to appoint loyal "Bushies" to US Attorney posts and judgeships is tied to the notion that there's widespread voter fraud that needs to be addressed. The irony is that compared to the tens of thousands stricken from the rolls in these purges, there are only something like five actual voter fraud convictions annually.
This is a major red flag for the upcoming election, and if you live in any of these states, you may need to re-register sooner rather than later:

Quote:
| 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. My investigations partner spoke directly to Barack Obama about it. (When your partner is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., candidates take your phone call.) The cool, cool Senator Obama told Kennedy he was “concerned” about the integrity of the vote in the Southwest in particular. He’s concerned. I’m sweating. It’s time SOMEBODY raised the alarm about these missing voters; not to save Obama’s candidacy – journalists should stay the heck away from partisan endorsements - but raise the alarm to save our sick democracy. |
