Purging former felons who had earned their right to vote again, then purging anyone else with the same name (typically black names usually) was the main scam Jeb Bush used to fix Florida for his brother in 2000. Altogether, they purged 57,700 names from the Florida voter rolls, many of them legal voters, most of them Gore voters. Bush "won" by 527 votes.

The MSM really fumbled the ball by never truly investigating this, but by the time they knew about it it was too late.

Also blame Nader, Bush crony Scalia, Gore's choice of Liberman and Gore's refusal to embrace Bill CLinton, who even after Monica Lewinsky left office as the most popular president since Ronald Reagan and JFK.

Freedom is living without coercion from government authority, social doctrine, religious dogma or pressure from the elite and powerful. So when anyone talks about freedom for this group or that, ask yourself whether he is advocating more coercive action or less.

If we hope to remain free, we must cut through the fog and attach concrete meanings to the words of those who make use of popular prejudices, false claims, and promises in order to gain power or to deceive us.
