I urge my fellow progressives to write the major news networks about this:

So why haven't we heard more about this in the US news?

Oh yeah, I forgot that the mass media loves Bush for letting them monopolize local markets now.

God, more of the same fear-mongering by Democrats. The article even says as much: "New Scandal FEARED".

It's all the same garbage, year after year. Just trying to scare people into voting Democrat.

How about you name ONE PERSON who was illegally disenfranchised in the last election? Just one. Just like the Patriot Act. Name one person who's right have been violated. Just one. You can't, because it's all fear mongering with no substance.

Believe me, if there was one, their name would be plastered all over the cover of the New York Times.

So the people being detained at Guantanamo Bay for months without being able to see a lawyer or even hear what crimes they are charged with, because the government says they are terrorists, aren't having their rights violated by the PATRIOT Act?

The thousands of people Florida "accidentially" purged from their voting rolls in the last election because their names resembled those of convicts were illegally disenfranchised. Too bad the situation only came to light months after the Supreme Court made its decision.

accuracy. Madison County's elections supervisor, Linda Howell, had a peculiarly personal reason for distrusting the central voter file: She had received a letter saying that since she had committed a felony, she would not be allowed to vote.

Howell, who said she has never committed a felony, said the letter she received in March shook her faith in the process. "It really is a mess," she said.

"I was very upset," Howell said. "I know I'm not a felon." Though the mistake did get corrected and law enforcement officials were quite apologetic, Howell decided not to use the state list anymore because its "information is so flawed." She's unsure of the number of warning letters that were sent out to county residents when she first received the list in 1999, but she recalls that there were many problems. "One day we would send a letter to have someone taken off the rolls, and the next day, we would send one to put them back on again," Howell said. "It makes you look like you must be a dummy."
