Is GOP using HAVA to run a massive voter-denial program?

Now, I’m not going to claim the Help Americans Vote Act is perfect, by any means.

But, RFK Jr. and Greg Palast would have a better claim if they didn’t cite Las Vegas, N.M. as their
first example.

Yes, Paul Maez, the city’s elections supervisor, was bounced from voting lists, as was State Auditor Hector Balderas.

Maez blames the state privatizing its voting list management.

But, you know… that privatization was done by well-known Democratic governor Bill Richardson and a Democratic state legislature.

And, while Palast can always be entertaining, he’s not always spot-on. And, RFK Jr. has been and remains full of crap about autism and thimerosal. And other things.

So, take this story with a fair, but not necessarily huge, grain of salt. But, at least a fair grain.
