The Sarasota Herald Tribune obtained a “smoking e-mail” proving that Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was “personally involved” in ramrodding a new voter purge list for the 2004 election, even though the data firm that prepared it warned of its many “flaws.”
In an exchange of e-mails last May 4, Jeff Long of the Florida Secretary of State’s office wrote that the firm “recommended to the Gov. that they ‘pull the plug’ on the CVDB (Central Voter Database) primarily because they weren’t comfortable with...

The 9-11 Cover-Up Commissioners are coming to town to sell their "conspiracy theory," the pretext for a "War of Terrorism" against Americans and the world and the construction of a Global Police State to protect the Global Elite from the vast majority of humanity whom they are opressing and killing. Time to challenge the Big Lie- and raise questions- they can't answer....

TThe Republican Party has announced plans to place thousands of election challengers in Ohio polling places next week. It says it is only trying to prevent fraud. But there is a real danger that these challengers could be used to block eligible voters from casting their ballots or, just as bad, to drastically slow down voting in some parts of the state. Election officials must be vigilant about ensuring that partisan challengers do not disrupt the voting....

One of the state's biggest broadcasters has given 13 Republican county committees $325,000 worth of free air time to promote candidates on its radio and television stations that serve communities from Sacramento to San Diego.
Pappas Telecasting Cos., which calls itself the largest privately held broadcast firm in the nation, made the donations earlier this month. While it is unclear how much of the time has actually been taken, Democrats complain the offer unfairly benefits GOP candidates ...

So elections are being held in America. We’re watching curiously here. Previously, Iraqis didn’t really take a very active interest in elections. We knew when they were being held and quite a few Iraqis could give an opinion about either of the candidates. I think many of us realized long ago that American foreign policy really had nothing to do with this Democrat or that Republican.
