ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR.: You know, a lot of Europeans wonder, why are Americans so crazy? They keep reelecting this guy. Well, the answer is, we don’t. You know, they keep stealing these elections. And they stole it in 2000, they stole it in 2004, and they’re all set up to steal it again.


GREG PALAST: In the last presidential election, officially, three million votes were cast and never counted. This time, it could go a lot higher. [Democrats and Republicans are] in on the game.


JUAN GONZALEZ: [V]oting rights groups are warning that tens of thousands of registered voters might not be able to cast a ballot come November 4th.

Beyond the documented problems of electronic voting machines, thousands of names have been purged from the rolls in several states, including at least six swing states. In some states, voters have been deemed ineligible because of voter registration laws that require photo identification or due to state officials checking voter names against Social Security databases.


In "Steal Back Your Vote", by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Greg Palast, there is a list of 7 ways voters can try to ensure that their vote is counted.
