2016 Presidential election Virginia had already removed 41,637 voters from the Crosscheck list—tens of thousands of voters whose only crime was having a common name. If all Crosscheck states follow Virginia's pattern, removing about 12 percent of the voters on their Crosscheck list, over one million voters will lose their right to vote by Election Day, November 2016.

Interstate Crosscheck The most common names in America belong to African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. … Interstate Crosscheck, by matching only first and last names, is a brilliant way to eliminate voters of color. This “laughable” computer program is blocking the right to vote to more Black Americans, Asian- and Hispanic- Americans than the Ku Klux Klan could have dreamed of.

Voting The chance you will be allowed to register to vote, to cast a vote, and to have that vote counted is directly proportional to the melanin in the skin of your ancestors. Greg Palast, Billionaires and Ballot Bandits © 2015 Kwiple.com
