If you thought the 2000 election was crazy, things are shaping up to be even crazier in 2008.

According to investigative Journalist Greg Palast, who has teamed up with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., we are very much in danger of seeing massive voter disenfranchisement when the November elections arrive.

In swing-state Colorado, the Republican Secretary of State conducted the biggest purge of voters in history, dumping a fifth of all registrations. Guess their color.

In swing-state Florida, the state is refusing to accept about 85,000 new registrations from voter drives – overwhelming Black voters.

In swing state New Mexico, HALF of the Democrats of Mora, a dirt poor and overwhelmingly Hispanic county, found their registrations disappeared this year, courtesy of a Republican voting contractor.

In swing states Ohio and Nevada, new federal law is knocking out tens of thousands of voters who lost their homes to foreclosure.
