10/27 The dead registers to vote. http://csua.org/u/9oi \_ BBC scoops voter intimidation campaign underway: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/3956129.stm \_ Uh huh. Imagine trying to keep people from voting who would be voting illegally. So intimidating! \_ And those thousands of millions of hundreds of dead people with their collusion and fake registration! Such a clear conspiracy! \_ Did you even read the URL? You're not even on the same vaguely general topic as the rest of us. \_ Nice fallacies in that story. A bunch of names in a largely black region. Did the author check to see if the names actually belonged to black people? Did he check the felony rolls? \_ Wow. It seems like you actually read the link. Neat-o! \_ Weir and Lesh are both voting for Kerry. \_ You can read a transcript of the story at the RNC site. Nothing in the story that points the finger at one party or another if you ignore the RNC supplied headline. http://www.rnc.org/News/Read.aspx?ID=4996 |

Election supervisor Ion Sancho believes some voters are being intimidated Two e-mails, prepared for the executive director of the Bush campaign in Florida and the campaign's national research director in Washington DC, contain a 15-page so-called "caging list". It lists 1,886 names and addresses of voters in predominantly black and t raditionally Democrat areas of Jacksonville, Florida. An elections supervisor in Tallahassee, when shown the list, told Newsnig ht: "The only possible reason why they would keep such a thing is to cha llenge voters on election day." Ion Sancho, a Democrat, noted that Florida law allows political party ope ratives inside polling stations to stop voters from obtaining a ballot. Mass challenges They may then only vote "provisionally" after signing an affidavit attest ing to their legal voting status. Indeed, says Mr Sancho, n ot one challenge has been made to a voter "in the 16 years I've been sup ervisor of elections." "Quite frankly, this process can be used to slow down the voting process and cause chaos on election day; Republican state campaign spokeswoman Mindy Tucker Fletcher A Republican spokeswoman did not deny that voters would be challenged at polling stations In Washington, well-known civil rights attorney, Ralph Neas, noted that U S federal law prohibits targeting challenges to voters, even if there is a basis for the challenge, if race is a factor in targeting the voters. The list of Jacksonville voters covers an area with a majority of black r esidents. When asked by Newsnight for an explanation of the list, Republican spokes persons claim the list merely records returned mail from either fundrais ing solicitations or returned letters sent to newly registered voters to verify their addresses for purposes of mailing campaign literature. Republican state campaign spokeswoman Mindy Tucker Fletcher stated the li st was not put together "in order to create" a challenge list, but refus ed to say it would not be used in that manner. Rather, she did acknowledge that the party's poll workers will be instruc ted to challenge voters, "Where it's stated in the law." There was no explanation as to why such clerical matters would be sent to top officials of the Bush campaign in Florida and Washington. Private detective Democrat Congresswoman Corinne Brown says watches a private investigator film voters In Jacksonville, to determine if Republicans were using the lists or othe r means of intimidating voters, we filmed a private detective filming ev ery "early voter" - the majority of whom are black - from behind a vehic le with blacked-out windows. The private detective claimed not to know who was paying for his all-day services. On the scene, Democratic Congresswoman Corinne Brown said the surveillanc e operation was part of a campaign of intimidation tactics used by the R epublican Party to intimidate and scare off African American voters, alm ost all of whom are registered Democrats. Greg Palast's film will be broadcast by Newsnight on Tuesday, 26 October, 2004. Newsnight is broadcast on BBC Two at 2230 BST every weeknight in the UK. |

With the election just a week away, evi dence is mounting that there is a serious effort to cheat. News 13s Ch ris Williamson has tonights big local story. CHRIS WILLIAMSON, KRQE-TV NEWS 13 REPORTER: It was her Saturday morning r outine. Kim Racette collected her mail, leafed through it and went insi de to take a closer look. KIM RACETTE, RECEIVED PHONY CARD: It looked like a voter registration car d, but it was addressed to somebody other than me, but it was my address . WILLIAMSON: It was a voter registration card for an Edward Gomez. Problem is, this house has been in Kims family for more than 30 years and no o ne by that name has ever lived here. RACETTE: Everybody should vote who has a right to vote, but I dont think people should be making up names or addresses and trying to get additio nal votes. FRED CHANATRY, RECEIVED PHONY CARD: I did not solicit this card, it just came out of the clear blue. WILLIAMSON: He received a phony voter registration card last week, but th is one was more clever, at least it got his name mostly right. The Social Security number was tot ally foreign to me, and my birth date was way off. A voter registration card came to her South Valley home last week addressed to her father. PATRICIA LAVEN, RECEIVED PHONY CARD: A Social Security number which wasn t my fathers, a date of birth which wasnt my fathers. LAVEN: My father had passed on about two and half years ago. WILLIAMSON: 74-year-old Donald Clark died from lung cancer in March 2002. A check of the countys record shows someone requested his voting card last month. LAVEN: I know that if it has happened to me, it has happened to many othe rs that have lost people in the past. WILLIAMSON: Each of these bogus voter registration cards means a new vote r has been created and whoever filled out the cards has the minimal info rmation theyll need to cast that ballot. KNIPFING: Now the Secretary of States office does tell News 13 it is no t unusual for dead people to be on the voter registration rolls, but wha t is unusual is for someone to request a dead persons voting card, a ca rd that can be used to cast a ballot. |
