You've been quite active today. So, explain to me exactly how he was not elected. I want you to show me proof of the fraud please.
Then, explain to me why the Goremiester picked florida of all states to have the election recounted when there were at least two others that were just
as close (that didn't have the brother of the President to be in office).
Tell me what you would say if he does get elected again. How would it have been accomplished. I mean...we all know that everyone must think just
like you because you are clearly so smart and objective.
From Greg Palast:
The Observer discovered that Harris's office had ordered the elimination of 8,000 Florida voters on the grounds that they had committed felonies in
other states. None had. Harris bought the bum list from a company called ChoicePoint, a firm whose Atlanta executive suite and boardroom are filled
with Republican funders. ChoicePoint, we have learned, picked up the list of faux felons from state officials in - ahem - Texas. In fact, it was a
roster of people who, like their Governor, George W, had committed nothing more than misdemeanours.
For Harris, Florida Governor Jeb Bush and his brother, the Texas blacklist was a mistake made in Heaven. Most of those targeted to have their names
'scrubbed' from the voter roles were African-Americans, Hispanics and poor white folk, likely voters for Vice-President Gore. We don't know how
many voters lost their citizenship rights before the error was discovered by a few sceptical county officials, before ChoicePoint, which has gamely
'fessed-up to the Texas-sized error, produced a new list of 58,000 felons. In May, Harris sent on the new, improved scrub sheets to the county
election boards. Maybe it's my bad attitude, but I thought it worthwhile to check out the new list. Sleuthing around county offices with a team of
researchers from internet newspaper Salon.com, we discovered that the 'correct' list wasn't so correct.
