This is the start of of Greg Palast’s story. The original is at www.gregpalast.com/… This is very, very likely why, in state after state, Hillary was up 150K votes before election day and lost: Her voters could not show up. They were already eliminated from the voter rolls. If proven true, this sounds like a classic Justice Department issue and needs to be resolved in real time. We must not repeat the mistakes of Florida 2000. (BTW, first post, three lines, was posted by Gbriel777 at this DKos link.)
“Before a single vote was cast, the election was fixed by GOP and Trump operatives.
“Starting in 2013 – just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act – a coterie of Trump operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOP–controlled states.
The system, called Crosscheck, is detailed in my Rolling Stone report,
“The GOP’s Stealth War on Voters,” 8/24/2016.
Crosscheck in action: Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107 Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922
Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257 Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824
Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008 North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393
“On Tuesday, we saw Crosscheck elect a Republican Senate and as President, Donald Trump. The electoral putsch was aided by nine other methods of attacking the right to vote of Black, Latino and Asian-American voters, methods detailed in my book and film, including “Caging,” “purging,” blocking legitimate registrations, and wrongly shunting millions to “provisional” ballots that will never be counted.
