"Here's What We Do Now", By Greg Palast

[karin_sj]

Greg Palast warned us that this was going to happen: the rejection of millions of votes, mainly from Black, Hispanic, and Asian-American voters:

"Being right never felt so horrid.
Before the election, I wrote, “How Trump Won” (https://www.gregpalast.com/how-trump-wona-warning/)

And on Election night I waited for the returns to make a fool of me.
Instead, the returns made the fool a President.

And so, my vacation’s cancelled. My life’s cancelled; that is, a life of anything but sleuthing and exposing the details of the heist of our democracy."

"But the horror we face is countered by this one hard question the US media will ignore, but I can’t: Did Donald Trump actually win this election? If so, was it really a landslide?

Here’s something you won’t read elsewhere: In the last Presidential, according to the official count of the federal Elections Assistance Commission, 2.7 million provisional ballots were rejected.

Whose ballots? If you’re Black, Hispanic or Asian-American, the chance you were shunted to one of these provisional ballots is 300% higher than if you’re white."

"With our investigative reports, with our hard and unassailable evidence, we can challenge the legitimacy of the Trump “landslide.” It’s not about bringing down Trump, it’s about shoring up that fragile thing called Democracy."

Many of us felt in our gut that something wasn't right about this election. It makes me feel sick to think that they will probably get away with this.
