Lose the hat, Greg. It doesn't look good on you. Never has.

Hillary is going to lose anyway herself!

they think Republicans and independents are gonna just up and vote for Hillary. Probbaly not.

Of course it's being stolen. That's who she and they are.

Sounds like what my Republican friends used to say, in December 2000. Please remember that when Hillary faces the same thing this November.

Typical Clinton supporter. Don't offer any sort of reason or logic based counter position, insult a guy because of the way he dresses, and infer something that was never claimed!
And you think this will help Clinton?
Pathetic.

you didn't watch the video.

I do agree about hat though.

Palast asserts that putting voters on an inactive list is stealing their vote. Really? In NY, you get off the inactive list if you show up at the polls and vote. Simple as that. No ones vote is taken away.

If you had, you would know that Palast spent the entire time talking about how Republicans are once again trying to purge voters (preferably black ones) from the rolls more or less the same way Katharine Harris did in Florida in 2000. The villain of the piece this time is Chris Kobach, the Secretary of State in Kansas and a notorious vote suppressor. Kobach has worked this into a national racket to protect Republicans in red states.

So, if you had watched the video, you wonldn't be dismissive, but alarmed.

And yes, the first half of the video is basically a recap of that history.

But he seems to be a hammer in search of the nail he knows this time around.

This is all about PURGING Democratic voters.

Really. Last year my husband's name was taken off after voting in the same location for over forty years.

We never got an answer. It took weeks to get re-instated.

You are purged from the system (A voter in inactive status who does not vote in two consecutive Federal Elections is in the fifth year, removed from the list of register. The voter must re-register in order to vote.

reinstated as an active voter in NY. If you haven't bothered voting in ANY election for 5 years, yeah, you are purged.

New voters could register as late as March 25, less than one month before the primary (they need some time to process applications and update the records, naturally).

if it was changed by the system mistakenly.

I hope you are right and those voters get to vote.

BTW, Oregon now registers people automatically, so if you are registered, you get your ballot and election material in the mail (we vote by mail) so what they've done now is make it harder to not vote (guilt because you don't have to go out of your way to vote) than it is too vote.

I wish every state would do this.

Oregon (places 6th) is one of two states that employ a vote-by-mail only system. Voters receive an information pamphlet three weeks before the election, followed a few days later by their ballots. With an average voter turnout of 60.13 – 8.5 percentage points above the national average – the system is working for Oregonians.

“There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we see high turnout because of vote-by-mail,” says Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown. “It’s extremely convenient and accessible; it’s secure and cost-effective.”

Either what the man says is factual or it isn't. Worry about that and less about his hat.

That's a very good Juinor-High School tactic.
Glad to see that you are growing up.

Thank you for posting this.

There is a lot of fraud and gaming going on these days.

Brooklyn just had 126,000 Democrats purged. Don't think this isn't happening...

I've been reading him on line for years and have two of his books. I've often thought he should have a couple of body guards with him.

Thanks for the post, antigop.

As I watched him talk, I could see a twinkle in his eyes! And I love his hat. I own two fedoras, and am a 77 year old woman.
Oh to be 50 years younger and single! Not really, as he travels a lot and works very hard, and I'm married to my soul mate.

First of all baby boomers are not of one mind in planning for the future. One thing baby boomers did agree with was to make higher than usual FICA contributions for their retirement. And, because of this Social Security is sound with a 2.8 trillion dollar surplus.

Where the young people get it wrong is what happened to their future. Their future, along with money that would subsidize their college tuition, was stolen mostly by the Bush cabal.

While Bush enacted tax cuts for the wealthy he also engaged the nation in not one but two unnecessary, counterproductive wars of choice.

If all that was not bad enough we have come to find out that many very wealth people and corporations are hiding money (trillions) in offshore accounts so they can escape paying taxes.

Yes, some of the people that put money in the Cayman Islands were baby boomers. But you cannot blame an entire massive age group for the sins of .01%.
