Raw Story

College senior Kyla Berry was looking forward to voting in her first presidential election, even carrying her voter registration card in her wallet. But about two weeks ago, Berry got disturbing news from local election officials. “This office has received notification from the state of Georgia indicating that you are not a citizen of the United States and therefore, not eligible to vote,” a letter from the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections said. But Berry is a U.S. citizen, born in Boston, Massachusetts. She has a passport and a birth certificate to prove it. Berry is one of more than 50,000 registered Georgia voters who have been “flagged” because of a computer mismatch in their personal identification information. At least 4,500 of those people are having their citizenship questioned and the burden is on them to prove eligibility to vote. Experts say lists of people with mismatches are often systematically cut, or “purged,” from voter rolls.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

I’d be curious to know what percentage of these ‘purged’ voters are minorities, are Democrats, and what percentage are Republicans. There are over 660,000 new registered voters in Ohio, with attempts at purging over 200,000 of those new voters. Again, I would wonder about the same breakdown..

We are not even talking about voter caging and voting machines with no paper trails that “accidently” flip votes..

This is happening all over the US right now in an attempt to prevent Americans from casting their votes. That does not represent a “democracy’.

Watch this series of videos interviewing Stephen Spoonamore. Seriously.

Then read “Block The Vote” and watch the videos by Robert Kennedy Jr. and Greg Palast.

The truth on all of these dirty tricks must come out, something must be done, so we can restore the American peoples’ right to vote in this country, and restore the trust in – and integrity of – our elections.
