GREG PALAST:"THIS WAS A JIM CROW ELECTION."

Greg Palast , investigating reporter for Rolling Stone, appeared on the Thom Hartman Show just after the Michigan Recount was terminated. He said that Hillary won Michigan and the Republicans were trying to squelch the news as much as possible. Over 75,000 votes in Detroit were not counted and the recount wouldn't allow them to be.

He has brought a petition to the Department of Justice on behold of Asian voters who claim Cross-Check, a voter purge system perfected by Kris Kovach, systematically purges minority names on voter lists. Palast says he told to the ACLU per on in North Carolina , who said that Cross-Check supressed the black vote. 

This happens because if a name shows up in more than one state,Cross-Check presumes that person voted twice and therefore is automatically purged. For example, a James Brown showed up in Deteroit and another one in North Carolina. However, both had different middle names. But both are purged. 

Palast spoke for some time with Jill Stein, who thought she would find Russian hacking in Wisconsin but instead she found minorities purged from voting lists. 

Palast said that forget Hillary Clinton didn't run a good campaign or that the Russies manipulated the vote. It was pure voter suppression in key communities in the mid-Wesrt which gave you Trump.
