Listen to BBC's Greg Palast report on the felonies that have been committed by Republicans in their effort to prevent Democratic votes from being counted: http://www.truthout.org/multimedia.htm

Also see his printed report which was the number-one BBC report, in terms of international audience interest, but which American newspapers refused to print or comment on. http://www.gregpalast.com/

Greg says that Secretary of State Ken Blackwell in Ohio will not even allow the counting of the provisional ballots to begin unless he is threatened with a lawsuit from the Kerry folks, and that does not seem to be forthcoming. Honestly, I find this hard to believe, but that's what he said in this telephone interview.

Greg also claims that black voters -- I think it was in Florida and Ohio -- are eight times less likely to have their votes counted than are whites, and that special efforts have been made by Republican operatives to make sure most blacks either never get to vote -- or if they vote, that their votes are never counted. Why is this? Because 90-95% of all blacks vote Democratic.
