Palast has been investigating vote blocking ...for decades
He pointed out how it was stolen from Gore, in 2000, and it got worse for him when he pointed out Kerry won.
no outlet would publish any more of his articles
So he went overseas
In his own words from GregPalast.com

I had to leave the country. Couldn't get a damn thing published in the USA. I faxed an article to The Guardian—they printed it, it was debated in Parliament, on BBC.
I'm best known for uncovering how Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush knocked off tens of thousands of Black citizens off the voter rolls of Florida just before the 2000 election. They were supposedly felons, but their only crime was Voting While Black.
This expose, and the ones on the theft of 2004, on the Bush-Ladin connection, on Enron, on Hugo Chavez, on Iraq — these were all front page stories in the U.K., in Europe, in Latin America—here, NADA. Look it up: NPR has never mentioned the purge of Black "felons" in Florida; the [New York] Times didn't acknowledge that story for four years.
I wrote a story in TomPaine and in the London Observer titled, "Kerry Won." I was contacted by the New York Times Washington Bureau days after the election, after I'd written my report indicating massive fraud in the 2004 vote. The Times reporter had two questions for me:
1. Are you a sore loser? [and]
2. Are you a conspiracy nut?
He hadn't the least interest in my offer to provide him evidence of votes uncounted and a racist voter-challenge campaign by the GOP (a story I reported on BBC Television, with documentation). Instead, the Times ran a story the next day headlined, "INTERNET THEORIES OF BUSH LOSS, SPREAD BY BLOGS, EASILY DEBUNKED."
