Comments on: The Pits: Georgia's GOP Swipes the Peach State http://www.gregpalast.com/the-steal-you-wont-see/ Greg Palast, reporting for BBC, Harpers and more Fri, 20 Aug 2010 12:16:20 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: anonymous http://www.gregpalast.com/the-steal-you-wont-see/comment-page-1/#comment-32484 anonymous Tue, 02 Dec 2008 02:18:12 +0000 http://www.gregpalast.com/?p=2161#comment-32484 Where are you on the Minnesota race?! We're nearing the end of a recount for someone who lived and worked for years/decades in NYC where you're based and yes the GA race is key. But what about all those challenged ballots in MN?? If the dems want their so-called filibuster proof majority, this race is pivotal. And I'm curious as to your take on this race. Where are you on the Minnesota race?!

I find it very troubling. Between no-paper-trail voting machines here in Texas and a sudden interest in "voter fraud" by Republican election officials in Harris County after the Democratic Primary showed a great number of Democrats registered and voting, I fear that our Republican controlled state is in great danger of election theft in the future. After the presidential election of 2000 I will never trust Republicans in charge of voting procedures. Thank you for your great work on this issue. I find it very troubling.

Oh, just loved the Tim Robbins open letter. Nothing like a bunch of corrupt GOP criminal minded corporatists to infiltrate, subjegate, and usurp democracy. Jail time, for a long time, for those NY BOE members that engaged in "supposed" lawful behaviour of a hijacked Party. Maybe those workcamp, detention centers can be filled with the huge numbers of criminals occupying GOP positions. Maybe....nice vision at least. But then, I become what I hate. And then they really have won. Hey Greg,

I actually *did* vote on Election Day. I filled out a provisional ballot, though I knew it was likely to not be counted. Honestly, I thought my existence on the rolls during the Primary was reason enough to believe I would still be there come Nov. 4. Little did I know that the great state of Georgia had some purging plans up its sleeve. In the aftermath of Obama's landslide victory, I have not lost sight of the fact that there is a HUGE problem with voter suppression in this state. I have sent certified letters to both the Secretary of State and the Board of Elections. I have been an active voter since 1994. There is no justifiable explanation for the erroneous erasure that occurred some time between June 2008 and October 27. I am beyond thankful for Mr. Palast's diligence and passion. I am also inspired. And I thank those of you with offers of support and suggestion. This is not the last of it for me, I assure you. I won't go quietly, that's for sure. And I will be voting in the run-off election in December. Thank you for telling my story.

I believe most of the vote flipping software only works on close margins; 49 to 51% so they had to block new voters in order to put Chambliss back in the Senate. Meanwhile, you need a muckraker. You need to ruin Chambliss's brand and vote on paper ballots, hand counted. Georgia was one of the first states to go 100% Diebold just before Chambliss's election.
