Hey Bud, try to pay attention to current events before spouting off like 
that.  They concluded the hearings looking into "black voter 
disenfranchisemen" and guess what?  They found absolutely ZERO evidence.  
They also found ZERO people who testified they were prevented from 
voting.

Stupid is as stupid does.

You are confused and wrong.  They counted the famous Miami-Dade 
"undercount" votes recently, and several thousands were non-votes, 
several more thousands were idiotic votes for nobody (punched holes 
corresponding to no candidate).  Of the 500-odd hanging-chad and 
dipled-chad ballots, GW Bush got six more votes than Algore.

I think on my own.  I try to get all the information possible from a 
variety of sources.  Sometimes I listen to RL on headphones at work, 
because it does not interfere with my work.
