¿El voto 2008 será justo? Ése era el asunto tratado por el anfitrión David Brancaccio y el departamento anterior David oficial Becker de la justicia encendido AHORA el viernes pasado. Parte I (en la izquierda, 10:01) comienza con una discusión de los leyes de la identificación de la foto a prevenir el “problema inventado” del fraude del votante. The discussion continues at the 6:15 mark on the topics of voter caging and voter purging — when the DoJ requires jurisdictions to purge their voter rolls when they do not match census estimates.

Part II (at right, 9:50) begins with Becker explaining how the Bush 43 Justice Department has subverted its traditional mission: “During about a five year span, not one single case was brought on behalf of African Americans in the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division”. Becker goes on to state that policies were established that favored Republicans and disfavored Democrats in an effort to “gam[e] the system” to retain power.

Next, Brancaccio and Becker explore how the U.S. Attorney scandal fits in to the bigger picture. Becker: “The DoJ, especially under Alberto Gonzales, was being used as an arm of the right wing of the Republican Party to effectuate partisan gains in elections”. Finally, the program concludes with a discussion on voting machines and Florida’s 13th District.
