33. Point taken. However, what about the so-called "Spoiled Ballots"?
You do know that a majority of them are likely to be black votes? Why can't we inspect these?

Oh, I forgot... we can't prove it. More like no one cares enough too.


In a careful county-by-county, precinct-by-precinct analysis of the Florida 2000 race, the US Civil Rights Commission discovered that 54% of the votes in the spoilage bin were cast by African-Americans. http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=393&row=0

Focus on Voter Suppression (complaint records)

Look at how many machines that just so happened to have broke down in two black counties. BULL....


Long lines, broken machines, confusion and rain. This was Columbus on election day. Video Producer Linda Byrket compiled video from 9 different videographers who witnessed and recorded the people's struggle to vote on November 2. Below is the video broken into five, roughly 5 minute long, segments for download. MORE

"Video the Vote"

I estimate, by the way, that an estimated loss of over 8,000 votes from the African American community in the City of Youngstown alone, with its 84 precincts, were lost due to insufficient voting machines, and that would translate to some 7,000 votes lost for John Kerry for President in Youngstown alone. . . .”

Allesondra Hernandez, Toledo: “What I witnessed when I had gotten there about 9 A.M. was a young African American woman who had come out nearly in tears. She was a new voter, very first registered, very excited to vote, and she had said that she had been bounced around to three different polling places, and this one had just turned her down again.
