"This is ludicrous. Bush had his campaign director Kathryn Harris, back when she was the overseer of elections in Florida, scrub names of people who were still eligible to vote from the rolls. Most of them were black (big surprise!) They also routinely hire thuggish-looking people to "discourage" (intimidate) black people and prevent them from going into the polls. I am actually acting as a poll-watcher this election, to welcome minority voters who show up and are being accosted by these Republican-hired thugs."

Where is the source for this? Was it impeccable? Did you check the Demographics in Florida to determine the percentage of fellons that are black? Do overseers of elections in other states remove fellons from the voter roles or only the ones in Florida? Do they only remove the black ones?

We need more than generalizations.

Here is a link to a long story about fake votes in St Louis: http://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/pubs/reformmandate/reportpage4.asp
It is from the Office of the Secretary of State, Missouri - Matt Blunt. Note the part where the lawsuit for the plaintifs Gore-Lieberman, was filed because Robert D. Odom, a deadman, was not allowed to vote. After it was discovered he was dead the plaintifs said they made a minor mistake. They meant to say Robert M. Odom. It was later revealed that Robert M. Odom was not allowed to vote. Then it was found that he had already voted and did not have any trouble voting.

Here are some links about the news organizsation's recounts of Florida ballots:

I didn't see any thuggish around when people when I voted.
