RFK and Palast on GOP's National Vote-stealing Program
Posted October 30th, 2008 by mal contends

We already know that J.B. Van Hollen is a corrupt partisan and a bald-faced liar. If Van Hollen tells you it's sunny outside, bring an umbrella just in case. [And watch any and all moves the state DOJ makes while Van Hollen remains the Attorney General.]
In the current issue of Rolling Stone, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. & Greg Palast report on the national vote-suppressing program of which Van Hollen is just one sleazy operative. Check it out.
In state after state, Republican operatives — the party's elite commandos of bare-knuckle politics — are wielding new federal legislation to systematically disenfranchise Democrats. If this year's race is as close as the past two elections, the GOP's nationwide campaign could be large enough to determine the presidency in November.

Incredible article, HAVA must be changed
This article is incredible. It details how the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), created after the disasterous 2000 election, took all the failures of that election and essentially mandated and legalized them on a federal level, which is resulting in voter suppression.
And there's lots more ... minority districts purposely get the oldest and worst voting equipment, to promote disenfranchisement and long lines.
Voting was taken out of bi-partisan hands and turned over to political secretaries of state.
HAVA is a joke, much like the Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.
