Investigative reporter Greg Palast (BBC, The Guardian, and Rolling Stone) has been studying Republican voter suppression techniques since the fraudulent 2000 election in Florida. He wrote a book called The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.
Palast claims that a 28 state RNC program called Cross Check, developed by a Kansas Republicon named Kobach may well have "legally" purged 1 million minority votes in several swing states in November of 2016.
(Trump won the 2016 Electoral vote by a combined interstate margin of just 40,000 votes. Bush "won" Florida by 535 votes in 2000-- after 56,000 minority votes were illegally purged by Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris.)
He also claims that his findings have been largely blacklisted by the U.S. mainstream media.
This sounds silly, but I happen to know that the U.S. MSM refused to publish Carl Bernstein's "Mockingbird" article in the late 70s. (The article was finally published in Rolling Stone.*
Is Palast right? I don't know, but his thesis would certainly explain Trump's bizarre posturing about the election being "rigged" by fraudulent voting. Trump has a habit of pre-emptively accusing his adversaries of doing criminal things that he, himself has been doing.
Decide for yourselves.
