Investigative reporter Greg Palast of the BBC gets down to the nitty gritty of voter suppression in the US in yesterday’s edition of Democracy Now in the video embedded in this story.

Some of the highlights include the chief electoral officer of Las Vegas, New Mexico being stricken from voter rolls by faulty Republican purge laws; allegations against the Democratic Party by the Republican Party of massive voter registration fraud, debunked as “massive myth”; plans by the Republicans to physically challenge voters at the polls who had their names present on foreclosure lists; a lawyer fired by the Bush administration for not filing bogus voter fraud cases for the Republican party.  More on the story is available at MSNBC.com here.
