I have been waiting to see, someone bringing up this ugly little detail.
Thanks. I have a lot of reading to do this weekend when it's supposed to snow (they say 1 - 2 feet) starting tomorrow.

You seem to be creating an argument where none exists. You ask for "regular news", and that's fine but this group specializes in offbeat and off the radar sources.
Democracy Now is increasingly well-known but still "alternative", so included in our listings.
They aren't going to cover every story that every other alternative outlet carries so you'll have to search on your own, maybe even write your own article based on the bits and pieces that went into Palast's story.
Here's an example of some back story:
6:19 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012 | Filed in: Local News
Both state and Fulton County officials have known for years about scores of voters still registered at now-demolished Atlanta public housing projects, but efforts to fix the problem came too late to clean up the rolls in time for the presidential election.
The county has come up with a plan for protecting against voter fraud, but because of flaws in its database of suspect names and addresses, some residents who never lived in the defunct complexes could be forced to prove where they live, raising concerns that legitimate voters could be dissuaded from casting ballots.
Another worry is that, with turnout at its highest, hundreds of voters could cast ballots in the Nov. 6 election using vacant lots for addresses. At least 40 people with questionable addresses have voted in various Fulton elections since late 2009, when the problem came to light following the mayoral runoff between Mary Norwood and victor Kasim Reed, an analysis by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution found.
Ethel Parks, who appears on Fulton County’s list of voters suspected of being registered at vacant lots, shows her voter registration card at her home in Atlanta on Thursday, October 25, 2012. She has already voted early in the current election. Parks, 77, has lived in her home for the past 13 years.
While the numbers probably aren’t enough to skew any race results, the lingering issue raises more questions about the integrity of Fulton County’s polling process.
