Here’s how the 2006 mid-term election was stolen.

Note the past tense. And I’m not kidding.

And shoot me for saying this, but it won’t be stolen by jerking with the touch-screen machines (though they’ll do their nasty part). While progressives panic over the viral spread of suspect computer black boxes, the Karl Rove-bots have been tunneling into the vote vaults through entirely different means.

For six years now, our investigations team, at first on assignment for BBC TV and the Guardian, has been digging into the nitty-gritty of the gaming of US elections. We’ve found that November 7, 2006 is a day that will live in infamy. Four and a half million votes have been shoplifted. Here’s how they’ll do it, in three easy steps:

Calls for another round of Rove?

What a moron, what happens if the dhimmi's manage to win a few seats? Did they find a "better" way to cheat?

So if they win anything, they have just disenfranchised themselves by claiming that the voting wasn't legal.

Greg Palast officially went over the deep end in 2000, and hasn't had a sane word to say since.

>>1.1 million were allowed a “provisional” ballot — which was then simply tossed out.<<

Isn't this part simply a lie - don't provisional ballots by law have to be checked and counted if valid?

Somebody leaked the operation, blast them. Actually it is the telehypnosis: Karl can mentally manipulate a rat [even a mentally/morally defecative rat] voter into voting the right way - and no traces are left, for Karl does not even have to be within 500 miles from there. No need to shoplift the votes when one could manipulate the voters.

Please, Greg. At least give the Magnificent Bastard a fair chance to pull off the job before you start yelling "Stop! Thief!"

Good laws meant to stop vote theft. They are just pissed they can't cheat as well now.

This is a term paper for a psych class demonstrating 'delusional' right?

This is the same crap he claimed in 2000 too. Funny thing is, the careful reader will note that in all these cases, simple voter IGNORANCE isn't taken into consideration.

Here's something to consider Gregory:

1. If you aren't properly verified, then who's fault is that? More specifically, if you don't have a registration card with your current polling place, then what makes you think you've been registered correctly? Only a DEMwit would think everything's ok if you don't have a registration card, and you can just walk right into whatever polling place you THINK is right. Here's a hint: Make sure all your ducks are in a row MONTHS BEFORE!
2. If you don't have valid ID, who's fault is that? The only ones who hem and haw about ID checks are those who already planned some voting fraud.
3. If you're too stupid to punch a card right, or blacken a fricking oval, well then you shouldn't be voting anyway. Jim Crowe may have been too extreme, but what's wrong with requiring a bare MINIMUM of intelligence? Do we want people who can't blacken a simple oval deciding our nation's direction?

So let's add it up: Greg is asking us to coddle the stupid, and basically forget about identification verification. This is, again, what he had to say in 2000. It was stupid then, it's stupid now.

I'd rather be a pimple-faced Republican than a paranoid Democrat. Pimples eventually go away, but paranoia only gets worse.

...the Dems are simply strangling the Republican voters at the polls, failing to provide ballots, intimidating voters in lines, messing with the machines in key states....

This guy is living in a fantasy world if he thinks the Republicans are the worst participants in the dirty tricks to win the mid-term. He is also (I believe) a plant by the RATS to convince people that the elections were "stolen." He and all the rest of the media who have been hyping the "sure win" for the last 2 months. It's all a bunch of bologna to plant the seeds of doubt/outrage when they lose.

Greg Palast is raving psychotic dog feces..... it's no surprise that he "writes" for the far-left al-Guardian, but does still surprise me that even leftists can take his puerile ranting seriously.

I sometimes wish that some of these conspiracy theories were true and that we are as invincible as the opposition says we are. But, alas that is not the case. The left always exaggerates the power of the right when they lose.
