10. More Vote Fraud: How Al Gore Lost Tennessee

Counterpunch, March 15, 2001

Black voters were told to get behind the white voters. "You know what it is to stand at the back of the bus," said election volunteers. Black voters were told to remove NAACP stickers from their cars-or leave the polling place without voting. Black voters were intimidated by police standing around polling places. Black voters stood in lines over a mile long to use ancient punch-card machines on the verge of falling apart. Sometimes, they'd stand for five or six hours. Once, they complained. Minutes later, two police cars came screeching up. Now, all this does start to sound like a promo for "Mississippi Burning". Or maybe it's a documentary about egregious civil rights violations in some Deep South backwater fifty years ago.

But it happened in November 2000.

Well, then, it's got to be about Florida. The massive voter disenfranchisement in Florida has gotten some coverage, especially overseas-the people who weren't felons illegally scrubbed from voting rolls, the police roadblocks in black neighborhoods, the Republican operatives illegally filling out absentee ballots.

But no. All these things-and much, much more-happened in Tennessee.

6. The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.

It's a book by Greg Palast. Buy it. Don't check out the next thread, shut down your computer and go to a bookstore. Now. Come back only when you've finished reading the stuff about the 2000 election.

Pretty amazing, isn't it?

7. The NORC study showed that

if all the ballots had been counted according to Florida law, then Gore would have come out ahead. The media that paid for the NORC study tried to spin the results to say that if Gore had gotten recounts in just the counties he had asked for then Bush would have prevailed. But Florida was in the process of carrying out a Florida Supreme Court ordered statewide recount. The US Supreme Court halted that recount and thus prevented the true count from being determined.

They were hired by a consortium of newspapers to examine the ballots and determine the vote count.
