Hey, it worked before...

The Sarasota Herald Tribune obtained a "smoking e-mail" proving that Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was "personally involved" in ramrodding a new voter purge list for the 2004 election, even though the data firm that prepared it warned of its many "flaws."

...The new evidence of vote suppression by George Bush’s brother and others tied to the Bush-Cheney campaign was presented by Ralph Neas, president of People For the American Way (PFAW), and other leaders of the growing nationwide election protection movement, at an Oct. 19 news conference. (Details are available at www.pfaw.org.)

...An angry outcry by PFAW and African American leaders in Florida as well as many of the state's 67 county election supervisors forced Gov. Bush to finally withdraw the new purge list. Yet many right-wing election supervisors are implementing it under the table. Neas demanded that Attorney General John Ashcroft name an independent counsel to investigate this racist vote suppression scheme.
