Wait, hasn't the poor gulf suffered enough with the Deepwater Horizon spill? <br /> And Kobach and company are as much responsible for the election of president four-year-old as any other factor. The crosscheck program purged the voter rolls of several hundred thousand Democratic voters in three states that he carried with less than a hundred thousand votes combined. This worked because many minority voters have the same name, so crosscheck finds another one in a different state and purges them as attempts to register twice. How many James Browns and Jose Garcias were purged? Answer: a lot. Many of them don't even have the same middle name.<br /><br />http://www.gregpalast.com/election-stolen-heres/<br /><br /> In fact, it worked so well that he's trying to expand the program ahead of the 2018 midterms, and to his "commission" he has appointed two of the most virulent voter suppression advocates who have both been working to suppress the minority (read Democratic) vote for decades.<br /> And, just by coincidence, the house appropriations committee just killed the funding for the agency tasked with protecting our voting systems from hacking and espionage.<br /> And what, pray tell, do they plan on doing with all of that data? Perhaps posting it in a giant, non password protected file to a site on the internet and leaving it there for a few weeks for the Russians to scoop up, like the Republican contractor Deep Root Analytics did with 198 million voter's information already?<br /><br />http://www.npr.org/2017/06/19/533551243/firm-contracted-by-rnc-left-millions-of-voter-files-unsecured-online<br /><br /> They have no credibility here, and this is a naked attempt at stacking an election they are likely to do poorly in more favorably for them.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oakland dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.com
