I suspect that those who are most subject to this “block the vote” practice are likely not watching your show or reading Rolling Stone magazine. So the more significant question is can the Obama campaign with its millions of dollars and its cadre of lawyers combat this situation? Secondly, what are they doing to address this challenge? If the only solution is the recommendation that Kennedy suggested, which is to vote early and don’t mail in your ballot, then the worse case scenario would seem to be to have those vehicles with loudspeakers circulate in those neighborhoods where the concentration of the potentially disenfranchised are situated. And start now. JBJ

"Democrats don't have clean hands either, as Palast discloses: from the Acoma Pueblo, we find Natives (almost all Democrats) who've had their ballots illegally junked by local Democrats." This doesn't make sense. My friend who is a very active Democrat and lives in Santa Fe has no idea what this is all about. Why would Democrats "junk" other Democrats' ballots???

Mr. Palast, I have watched and read your columns for the past eight years. You correctly predicted the second election theft in 2004. That being said, your newest "warning" about election sounds as though a. You know something and are doing nothing or b. You are tacitly hoping for another theft. Either way, it is obvious you know nothing of the current political climate in the United States. This election has already been decided, yes. What you fail to understand is that Mr. Obama is on the cusp of one of the most complete landslides in our country's history. Yet here you are again crying "gloom and doom" with a glee that would do justice to Darth Cheney. Either come back to the U.S. and do something productive or stay in the UK, but for the love of God, sir, SHUT UP! The United States has much important work to do after Mr. Obama wins, and what we do not need are “chicken littles” talking about the sky falling. Using one last paraphrase: "Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way!" Sincerely, a Korean War Veteran.

But what will we do?

Nothing.

Nothing we can do because A)corporate media will follow the party message, B)we control no military (please don't say private gun ownership is to help the people fight the government--that's absurd), and C)most importantly, most of us don't care as long as we can go to Wal-Mart and buy more stuff we don't need.
