  • -The DNC unfairly disenfranchises the #4 and #8 most populated states, in order to preserve tiny states like New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina always getting to vote first.

    -Obama blocks Michigan and Florida from having their vote count, because Hillary still had a chance of getting the nomination.

    -Hillary could have won the nomination with early momentum of MI and FL wins.

    -Now Obama wants MI and FL counted since he upset so many locals.

    Obama and the DNC are making me vote 3rd party.

  • Obama and friends blocked a revote in Michigan but now he wants the votes from Michigan in general election.

    The Florida Legislature changed the date not the MILLIONS of people who voted. The Governor of Michigan changed the date of theirs again the people had no say in the matter. So we disenfranchise those people, over 2.5 million for voting on the day their goverment allowed it. I can see it now 43 or so electorial votes going to the GOP and Obama can go back to work for Tony Rezko.

  • Obama took his name off the Michigan ballot, so screw him about the delegates. The DNC should have done what the Republican's did and give us 1/2 the delegates - but they had to do a power trip and make it hurt. Well, look how they screwed up their whole process. The strong-arming and stupid 'fair' policies show us why they shouldn't be in power.

  • Florida is the only state that pays a private company that promises to "cleanse" voter rolls.The state signed in 1998 a $4 million contract with DBT Online, since merged into ChoicePoint, of Atlanta. The creation of the scrub list, called the central voter file, was mandated by a 1998 state voter fraud law, which followed a tumultuous year that saw Miami's mayor removed after voter fraud in the election, with dead people discovered to have cast ballots.

  • a purge of voter rolls undertaken by Gisela Salas and other election officials across the state shortly before Election Day. there were literally thousands of people whose names were purged from the voter registration roles who had no felony convictions, who had never moved, just faulty information coming from that contractor.

  • A U.S. Civil Rights Commission investigation concluded that, of nearly 180,000 votes discarded in Florida in the 2000 election as unreadable, a shocking 54 percent were cast by black voters, though they make up only a tenth of the electorate. In Florida, an African American is 900 percent more likely to have his or her vote invalidated than a white voter.

  • obviously obama is disenfranchising florida voters to win the election. Wow i have never heard of anything like that before... OH WAIT 2000 Bush election. Oh wait isnt obama bush's cousin... and they use the same tactics to win elections? Oh no he isnt a republican plant is he. Duh. Oooooobaaaaamaaaaa followers cant see the forest from the trees ;)

  • Harold Ickes said "we understand on very, very good authority" that Michigan legislators believe both campaign's consent would be necessary for a re-vote. He said that since the Clinton campaign was publicly in favor of a re-vote, the Obama campaign must be blocking the effort. Phil Singer said that in Florida, where a re-vote now seems very unlikely, "what is going on right now is a passive-aggressive effort on behalf of the Obama campaign to disenfranchise the voters of Florida."

  • #1 Bush won the majority of states so how can we blame a single state?

    #2 Gore lost Florida by the slimmest of margins, so why would you blame the entire state?

    #3 As a democrat I feel everyone should have their vote counted, our party could have found a way to punish the state party & not the people, especially the people in Michigan that vote democratic in elections.

    How can we justify disenfranchising the 4th & 8th most populated states, because of something that was out of their control?
