Letters to the editor
On June 1, 400 people attended a forum to hear evidence that
the last four elections had been massively manipulated and that the
presidential elections had indeed been stolen.
One of the panelists, BBC investigative journalist Greg
Palast, who has been reporting on the successful and deliberate tactics
employed to disenfranchise millions of would-be Democratic voters in the last
few elections, revealed breaking news. Karl Rove's protege, Tim Griffin, one of
the main engineers of the campaign to disenfranchise largely black voters (who
vote predominantly Democratic) resigned suddenly from his "new
replacement" as U.S. attorney in Arkansas. Palast connected the dots
between the U.S. attorney firings/Gonzales scandal/campaign to disenfranchise
millions of Americans.
As if such breaking news delivered in the Hudson Valley
wasn't considered deserving enough of the Journal's coverage, the forum also
heard from New York State Board of Elections Commissioner Douglas Kellner about
the challenge confronting New York, the only state that has yet to decide on a
new voting system. Every other state has switched to some form of privatized
electronic voting equipment and have experienced massive breakdowns and fraud
on a level never before possible. New Yorkers need this critical information
before the Legislature permits the same anti-American secret vote counting by
private corporations to become the law in the state. It's hard to imagine what
part of this the Poughkeepsie Journal didn't deem newsworthy enough to report on.
