Let’s talk about voter fraud and suppression

Mark Crispin Miller, author of “Loser Take All: Election Fraud and The Subversion of Democracy, 2000–2008” was on Democracy Now! last week talking about the Republican efforts to steal yet another election. His most interesting theory is that the Republicans are setting up an excuse for Obama’s win by promoting the idea that ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is perpetrating mass voter fraud, so theoretically, if Obama wins, it will be illegitemate and can be challenged aka 2000. On the other hand, the story of the “Bradley Effect” (voters telling pollsters that they will vote for Obama, only to pull the lever for the white guy) is also being pushed in the media so if Obama loses, it can be contributed to this phenomenon, thus negating an investigation of massive voter supression. The following is a movie by Brave New Films about the attacks on ACORN.
