Greg Palast on systematic pre-election voter roll purging in Ohio, Florida and New Mexico.
Cuyahoga County Board of Elections posts unusual-looking results for certain districts: Bay Village, for instance, which has 13,710 registered voters, records a total of 18,663 ballots cast; Rocky River, 16,600 voters and 20,070 ballots cast; Beachwood, 9,942 and 13,939, respectively; Woodmere, 558 and 8,854.
While I'm not convinced that this election was definitely tainted by fraud, it certainly does not strike me as beyond the realm of plausibility, and until I hear a satisfactory explanation for these and other strange discrepancies, I will support efforts, such as those being spearheaded by the people at BlackBoxVoting.org, to conduct a formal investigation. It pleases me to see that people are attempting to follow up on these suspicions, rather than just allowing them to simmer at the level of a bitter national joke, becoming a thing we can only talk about with our tongue in our cheek because we're afraid of how we'd look if we talked about it forthrightly. |
