The BBC journalist who uncovered possible voter fraud in the 2000 and 2004 U.S. presidential elections told a South Florida crowd Sunday those same forces that led to President Bush's victories will not "steal" this year's election.
"They've already stolen it," Greg Palast told a crowd at the Palm Beach Democratic Club on Sunday. "But, you can steal it back."
Speaking before a crowd of more than 400 at the Kravis Center, Palast outlined what he said were Republicans erasing black, homeless and military voters from voter registration rolls, possibly preventing millions from casting votes in razor-thin races.
The latest example came in 2004, he said, in a method known as vote caging.
There, voters' registrations were challenged after registered letters with "do not forward" instructions addressed to, for instance, black college students on summer vacation or naval officers on active duty overseas were returned as undeliverable.
