WorkingForChange-The Best Democracy Money Can Buy: Part III

I wrote ‘Black-Out in Florida’ (The Observer, London, November 26, 2000:
Vice-President Al Gore would have strolled to victory in Florida if the state hadn’t kicked up to 66,000 citizens off the voter registers five months ago as former felons. In fact, not all were ex-cons. Most were simply guilty of being African-American. A top-placed election official told me that the government had conducted a quiet review and found — surprise! — that the listing included far more African-Americans than would statistically have been expected, even accounting for the grievous gap between the conviction rates of Blacks and Whites in the U.S.

I knoew of such things, but I had no idea of the extent of it. Tens of thousands of unjustly “purged” voters! And Gore needs only 500. Tens of thousands would have even kept there from being any dispute. I’m sure I’ll have many more things to be angry about as I read the book. The above quotes were from the workingforchange website, which ran piecs of Chapter 1 of the book.
