CNN and the Miami Herald just proved everything PALast was writing about the Jeb voter roll purging and nhow it's on the news wires. It's been vetted. It's true. Senator Bill Nelson and others in Florida re leadint he fight to make Jeb's voter roll purge lists public so everyone can see whose voting rights are being taken away. A quick check found thousands of "errors", most black and hispanic democrats being treated like non citizens. Palast's brilliant investigative journalism was driven by his political leanings, but he did the hard work and came up with the story. Unlike someone like Drudge who just puts out unstantiated rumors and fabrications. If you read Palast's book you'll see copies of actual pages of the voter roll purge list with legal voters names on it. The book also proves Jeb hired an expensive GOP-owned consulting firm to do the dirty deeds and that GW's office in Texas helped add to the illegal vote purge. What they ended up doing was taking away anyone's rights who had the same name as an out of state ex-convict from Texas and other states. Like John Jones or Bob White for instance, common names. So long as they had similar but not exact same birth dates. No SS# checks at all.
