has nothin' to do with jesse jackson. has to do with the fact that florida, a few years ago, hired a private (and right-wing) company to purge its list of voters of felons, deceased, and twice registerd voters. so far so good. but they didn't stop there. just like the democrats divined votes by extrapolating from other votes cast in non-presidential races, this far-right company extrapolated from where people lived to conclude that they likely had a criminal past. yes felons should be disenfranchised, but they also included those who had been convicted of misdemeanors, or nothing at all, so that when some eligible voters showed up to vote they were turned away. on and on and on and on. for over a year the consensus was that florida was going to be a swing state - the shenanigans began years ago, not last month. look at the big picture. you know that florida's sunshine laws will mean that all ballots will be studied and that there will be a final vote and that the evidence of who was prohibited from voting will come out. it ain't going to be pretty (i repeat: both sides did lots of unseemly stuff) it will show us who should have been elected (and no, I have no idea who that should have been) the truth will be known. please get back to me then - i'll bet you an apology that i am right.
