There's something really, really weird about Bob Fitrakis andHarvey Wasserman.Sensible Americans were doing everything in their power thissummer to avoid all thought of the Presidential election, its ickychoices, its barf-making ads, the chatter-heads and chuckle-heads onTV spewing brain-cell killing bromides and the parade of o$ciousponces who call themselves "elected o$cials" and the wannabeelecteds - while Bob and Harvey worked like dogs to protect OurDemocracy.Are they delusional schmucks? Heroic heralds of the death of ourfreedoms? Two guys with oozing envy of billionaires and their trophysenators? Paul Reveres of the internet screeching, !ey're stealingyour vote! !ey're stealing your vote!?Like the investigations in "Strip and Flip," I am once again knockedover by the authors' erudition, authoritative analysis, stunningand ill-making revelations and irrefutable evidence of a nationalemergency: Grand !e" Election.Attorney and political science professor Fitrakis and historianWasserman know their stu& - and you should know it too.I've been in the election the" biz a long time - that is, reportingon the schemers and scammers who jack with your ballot, yourregistration and your government. It started in 2000 when Al Gorewas down for the count against George W. Bush and I got my hands on a set of computer disks from the o$ce of the Secretary of Stateof Florida, Katherine Harris. Harris had tagged 94,000 citizens for removal from the voter rolls. She called them, "felons," but every one, I mean every one, was innocent, though most were guilty of VWB: Voting While Black. !at's when I encountered Professors Fitrakis' and Wasserman's #rstwork into the too-many ways in which ballot bandits can eliminate your registration, hang your chad and throw your vote into the garbage-sometimes legally, sometimes not, but always, always, stealing away the last power-voting-of the poor, the dark-skinned, the young and the learned (students get dicked around a lot at polling places).
