Brutual Truths on Election Eve

If you've been reading this blog, you know that I get pretty irate and vocal about the frequency of election theft in the U.S. -- specifically Federal races stolen by Republicans under Bush's voter "reform" laws designed after the Supreme Court appointed him President in 2000. It's a big problem. As Greg Palast says,

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.

Go out and vote!!! Go out and vote!!! Go out and vote!!!
(...and let's be vigiliant and vocal about the returns...)
