Reply #4: Greg Palast deserves all the props for breaking the felon purge [View All]

He did amazing research to pop this story loose, and stuck with it for nearly two years to push it into the mainstream.

Sometimes it takes that long.

By the way: "Black Box Voting" -- the nonprofit, is a consumer protection group for elections, and though we are focusing on research and public awareness on the voting machine issue, we are set up to investigate and report on all kinds of election procedures, as time goes on: voter roll manipulation, voting machines, redistricting, absentee balloting, campaign finance.

This broad charter will allow us to play a unique and truly useful roll to investigate and educate the public on fair election procedures. Until now, I don't believe there has ever been an independent, publicly funded consumer protection group for elections.

The privatization of our elections procedures makes it absolutely urgent and imperative that we have effective watchdog groups.

And of course, the call for action: Email Bevharrismail@aol.com with "volunteer" in the subject line to participate in the Black Box Voting citizen election watch procedures this fall.
