Palast Announces Suit Against 26 Crosscheck States

[JonLP24]

In Testimony To National Commission For Voter Justice
JULY 25, 2018
By Nicole Powers

Award-winning investigative reporter Greg Palast was called to testify in front of the National Commission for Voter Justice (NCVJ) at their Southern California Regional Hearing. The non-partisan organization was set up in response to the now-defunct Trump/Kobach Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which used fraudulent claims of illegal double-voting as justification to cull millions of perfectly legal (mostly young and/or minority) voters from the rolls.

The NCVJ’s SoCal proceedings were held on Saturday, July 14 at the Los Angeles Trade-Technical College’s Aspen Hall in Downtown LA, and were part of the organization’s nationwide effort to “highlight, document, and address the scourge of voter suppression across the country.”

Among those present were NCVJ National Co-Chairs Barbara R. Arnwine and Pennsylvania State Senator Vincent Hughes, and Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., who serves as NCVJ’s Honorary Chair and who personally thanked Palast for his tireless efforts to expose Crosscheck — the GOP’s racially-biased weapon of mass vote destruction.

Below is a transcript of Palast’s NCVJ testimony:

We had 112 million Americans registered to vote in 2016 and it is now down to 110 million. Two million voters have vanished. What’s happened? The answer, from my investigations, is purge-by-postcard.We just had a decision by the court in Randolph Institute v. Husted… The state of Ohio had eliminated over half a million voters. It was misreported that these voters were eliminated because they failed to vote in a couple of elections. That was just a trigger. In fact the court allowed them to be removed because they received a postcard and didn’t return it. And they used that as evidence these voters had moved.
