Block the Vote

This article, written by ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. & GREG PALAST appeared in Rolling Stone Magazine. Why isn't the mainstream media pounding this story hard? Contact your local media, Ireport or Keeping Them Honest for CNN, MSNBC, etc. and ask them why they are not covering this outrageous national Voter Fraud (by exclusion) campaign.

Here's a bit from the article:

These days, the old west rail hub of Las Vegas, New Mexico, is little more than a dusty economic dead zone amid a boneyard of bare mesas. In national elections, the town overwhelmingly votes Democratic: More than 80 percent of all residents are Hispanic, and one in four lives below the poverty line. On February 5th, the day of the Super Tuesday caucus, a school-bus driver named Paul Maez arrived at his local polling station to cast his ballot. To his surprise, Maez found that his name had vanished from the list of registered voters, thanks to a statewide effort to deter fraudulent voting. For Maez, the shock was especially acute: He is the supervisor of elections in Las Vegas.

Maez was not alone in being denied his right to vote. On Super Tuesday, one in nine Democrats who tried to cast ballots in New Mexico found their names missing from the registration lists. The numbers were even higher in precincts like Las Vegas, where nearly 20 percent of the county's voters were absent from the rolls.
