Barnes lost the governorship to the Republican, Sonny Perdue, 46 per cent to 51 per cent, a swing of as much as 16 percentage points from the last opinion polls.

The corporate media says 'move on'. We don't think so.
There were many scurious activities that led to the Florida recount debacle, but none so glaring as the illegal purging of 55,000 mostly African-American voters from the voter rolls by Jeb Bush and Kathryne Harris.
We have Greg Palast to thank for uncovering this CRIME and we recommend his book, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy for a comprehensive accounting.
We also reccomend Greg's website where you will find a plethora of related articles.
