This must not be true because I heard Je$$e Jackson on Sean Hannity today stating emphatically that disenfranchisement was being done in 2000 and is still happening today! (/sarcasm)

Of course there were no names put forth so that we could prosecute these individuals.

"And media descriptions of the report did little to dispel the widespread belief among the black electorate that blacks had been systematically targeted for harassment, intimidation, and disenfranchisement."

Nothing--facts, reports or pleas--will change the perception among blacks that they weren't counted in 2000. This visceral hatred of Bush among blacks is the one thing I fear more than anything come November. In states like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, a huge black turnout could well give Kerry the election.

From the article:

"But facts are stubborn things. Whites were actually twice as likely as blacks to be erroneously placed on the list. In fact, an exhaustive study by the Miami Herald concluded that "the biggest problem with the felon list was not that it prevented eligible voters from casting ballots, but that it ended up allowing ineligible voters to cast a ballot."* According to the Palm Beach Post, more than 6,500 ineligible felons voted."

If people, both black or white, are too stupid to negotiate a butterfly ballot....are too stupid to see the arrow going from the name of the candidate to the hold you are to punch....and if this STILL confuses you and you are too stupid to go to a poll worker and say "I don't get it...can you explain to me how to do this"....if you are too stupid for all of this YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE...YOU ARE TOO FREAKING STUPID.
