"The Best Democracy Money Can Buy----an Investigative Reporter Exposes the Truth about Globalization, Corporate Cons, and High Finance Fraudsters.'" by Greg Palast ( "A US citizen who works for the BBC equivalent of 'Nightline'"
"An IR working for the BBC has fingered FL Sec'y of State Patricia Harris as the architect of pre-election schemes to disenffrancise tens of thousands of voters, most of whom were black."
"I was watching as black voters in South FL kept coming up to our (BBC) camera crews and saying, 'I want to vote, but I'm not permitted to do so.' I thought, 'It's almost as if there was some kind of computer program knocking black people off the voter rolls."--author
Harris is alleged to have given 2.3 million to a GOP-connected list and a credit card firm to compile a list of 57,700 felons (ineligible to vote under FL law.)
According to Palast only 5% were real felons and over 400 names were of people convicted in the FUTURE; some before they were BORN.
Palast is said to have said that Ted Koppel and the rest of the county's media has thrown a blanket over the story.

Lawsuits have been filed against three South Florida counties for irregularities in the Presidential election. I believe they were filed by Haitian-American organizations for violation of civil rights.
