On the eve of the midterm elections, we air a report by investigative journalist Greg Palast on how new voter ID laws risk disenfranchising millions, especially black, Hispanic and Asian-American voters. Twenty-seven states are now participating in the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program. Backers say it is needed to prevent voter fraud, but critics say it is being used to stop Democratic-leaning voters from going to the polls. Tens of thousands of names have already been removed, and millions more are threatened. Based on a six-month investigation, Palast’s report originally aired on Al Jazeera America. A Puffin Foundation fellow, Palast is the author of the New York Times best-seller, "Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps."

3. this sounds so much like the felon voter purge of 2000 that helped put Bush into office

and now 14 years later, Democrats seem to have done nothing to stop the GOP from deciding who they don't want to have the right to vote.

Are Democratic politicians incompetent or complicit?

Either way, it's looking more and more like the party needs a top to bottom make over, or it simply needs to be replaced by a true progressive party.
