Whhhaaaat? I hadn’t heard about this. This is criminal.

Has the Obama campaign responded to this situation in Florida do you know Xilla? Outrageous.

If you want to hear the audio here it is

Here it’s an MP3

I forgot to log in!! lol Hey Regina Obama’s statement was he is concerned about the integrity of the vote in the southwest. Thats all he said about this.

Jackie, I apologize, I did not write this with you in mind. But rather for the rural white folks in places like West Virgina who will not vote this year or will vote for McCain because they can’t bring it upon them self to vote for a black man. I apologize I forgot to add the word Some before white people. Please blame it on the mind and not the heart.

I could have sworn I added that the white vote tends to break 50/50 give or take a 1 or 2 % look at the last 2 elections so with the majority of the black vote going towards Obama and with knowing that some of those black people are going to vote for Obama simply because he’s black… I’m not made at that. thats my point. Not to insult you be saying that you’re going to vote for McCain because you are white if you took it that way I apologize. My bad.

Let’s hope this time we really do get out there and show our force at the voting booth. Lord knows how many times we’ve missed out. It is embarrassing that as a group we always have the lowest turn out, when it is we who paid the highest price for the right to vote. To not exercise it is almost criminal, and definitely not moral

I’m sorry about it too, I had big plans for that one! lol ~ @JACKIE

Mr Tibbs - in 04 when diddy had that big vote or die campaign it worked record turn outs for blacks came out but… same thing happened as what they are trying to do. In Ohio, there were 153,237 ballots simply thrown away, more than the Bush “victory” margin. In New Mexico the uncounted vote was fives times the Bush alleged victory margin of 5,988. In Iowa, Bush’s triumph of 13,498 was overwhelmed by 36,811 votes rejected. In all, over three million votes were cast but never counted in the 2004 presidential election. The official number is bad enough-1,855,827 ballots cast not counted, reported to the federal government’s Election’s Assistance Commission. But the feds are missing data from several cities and entire states too embarrassed to report the votes they failed to count. Correcting for the under-reporting of the undercount, the number of ballots cast but never counted goes to 3,600,380. And there are certainly more we couldn’t locate to tote up.

Why doesn’t your government tell you this? Hey, they do. It’s right there in black-and-white on a U.S. Census Bureau announcement released seven months after the election-in a footnote to the report on voter turn-out. The Census tabulation of voters voting “differs,” from ballots tallied by the Clerk of the House of Representatives for the 2004 presidential race by 3.4 million votes.

I think Barack needs to hold a press conference and address this situation!

Do we have any suggestions on what we can do to try and get the people who registered out to vote?

TIME TO STEP UP

We have got to get more informed honestly ignorance is no excuse anymore!

that’s a damn shame

Not voting is not an option it should be taught in school and a damn law that we HAVE to vote damnit

sorry but white folks don’t get to play all super sensitive
