in short...yes to the black people taken off the voter rolls, but there's more to it than that. and we can't forget that george dubya, bill clinton, al gore, bush sr. all work for the same people. they're all puppets working against our country and the constitution...

it's a matter of which 'side' you want to be raped by...before the other 'side' gets their chance...

don't forget though, greg palast is a likely terrorist (see my recent post about palast)...he has however done some of the best reporting about the 's'elections...

THE GREAT FLORIDA EX-CON GAME
HOW THE 'FELON' VOTER-PURGE WAS ITSELF FELONIOUS
Harper's Magazine
Friday Mar 1, 2002
In November the U.S. media, lost in patriotic reverie, dressed up the Florida recount as a victory for President Bush. But however one reads the ballots, Bush's win would certainly have been jeopardized had not some Floridians been barred from casting ballots at all. Between May 1999 and Election Day 2000, two Florida secretaries of state - Sandra Mortham and Katherine Harris, both protégées of Governor Jeb Bush- ordered 57,700 "ex-felons," who are prohibited from voting by state law, to be removed from voter rolls. (In the thirty-five states where former felons can vote, roughly 90 percent vote Democratic.) A portion of the list, which was compiled for Florida by DBT Online, can be seen for the first time here; DBT, a company now owned by ChoicePoint of Atlanta, was paid $4.3 million for its work, replacing a firm that charged $5,700 per year for the same service. If the hope was that DBT would enable Florida to exclude more voters, then the state appears to have spent its money wisely.
