As John McCain and GOP operatives rattle their sabers about ACORN’s alleged “voter fraud” tactics, tag-team investigators Greg Palast and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have released some truly scary findings, in the latest Rolling Stone, from their investigation into Republican efforts to steal the 2008 presidential election.
However, the news isn’t all bad: Palast and Kennedy have put together a nonpartisan site, Kennedy Jr. and Greg Palast
Republican Secretaries of State of swing-state Colorado have quietly purged one in six names from their voter rolls.
Over several months, the GOP politicos in Colorado stonewalled every attempt by Rolling Stone to get an answer to the massive purge—ten times the average state’s rate of removal.

Kennedy, a voting rights lawyer, charges this is a resurgence of ‘Jim Crow’ tactics to wrongly block Black and Hispanic voters.

It could happen again in three weeks, and it shouldn't be surprising. But I'll bet if it does, just like last time the mass of Americans will say "Oh well..." and we'll be ready to repeat the corrupt cycle again.
We have just seen for 8 years the most criminal regime in American history shred the constitution without even a whimper or cry from the public and allow Bush, Cheney, and the rest of their neocon gang stay in office without even blinking, but this could never have happened without the help of the democratic party. It took the destruction of the balance of power to accomplish.
About all there is for anyone who doesn't like the RFK Jr. article premise is to discount where it was printed, since the content is accurate. And what's wrong with Rolling Stone? Their readers are a lot more literate and thoughtful than readers of most periodicals.
