Palast Wins Eleanor Roosevelt Award For Superlative Investigative Reporting
By Nicole Powers
On August 6, 2017, investigative journalist Greg Palast was presented with the Eleanor Roosevelt Award by the Southern California branch of Americans for Democratic Action, an organization which the former First Lady co-founded in 1947.
The award was given to Greg for his: “Superlative investigative reporting and media coverage in the areas of human and democratic rights.”
"What an honor to get the Eleanor Roosevelt Award, because in my house she was our goddess," said Palast at the awards ceremony, which was held in the grounds of a private home in Santa Monica.
"I always think of Adlai Stevenson’s words at her memorial," Palast continued. "He said, Eleanor Roosevelt would rather light a candle than curse the darkness. And I think that all I do is curse the darkness. That’s my business. I’d be out of a job if it wasn’t for cursing the darkness. ”
Jan Goodman of ADA SoCal, who opened her home for the ceremony, presented Palast with the award, which she said was given to Palast for “reporting on human and democratic rights.”
“It’s become your life’s work, and we are joining you in your life’s work, because this is what ADA is all about also,” said Goodman as she handed a bronze statue of Roosevelt to Palast.
The award was presented with a Certificate of Congressional Recognition from Congressmen Ted W. Lieu honoring Palast, which stated: “Long may he snoop.”
Palast would like to dedicate this award to Tundu Lissu, who helped him expose the Barrick Gold scandal, and all the other whistleblowers who have put themselves on the line to help journalists curse the darkness.

Bernie and Jesse join hands to take on Trump’s Vote Thief-in-Chief
[Dateline: Chicago] “Why would somebody say a crazy statement like that?” Bernie had his arms spread like gull wings, fingers scribbling facts in the air.
“Why” was not really a question.
Watch this five-minute video of Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rev. Jesse Jackson and their alliance to take on Kris Kobach, the Dr. Moriarty of vote suppression.
In Jesse Jackson’s private ministry office, the Reverend and I had just laid out President Trump’s claim that 3 million Americans were voting twice—a massive crime wave of Black, Brown and Asian-Americans stealing the vote.
To Sanders, ‘crazy' is Trump’s cover. Bernie was worked up. He was talking about Trump’s claims of millions of people illegally voting twice. “To my mind it was fairly obvious. What he was doing was sending a signal to every Republican governor in the country: you go do voter suppression. So that is the signal. So then he follows up with this so-called ‘Commission.’”
Jackson has declared war—and drafted Bernie Sanders for the front-line assault. Their target: Donald Trump’s so-called “Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity”—and its chief, Kris Kobach, Sec. of State of Kansas.
[image error] Greg Palast, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rev. Jesse Jackson discuss Crosscheck
It was Sunday. The choir was rocking the sanctuary upstairs. This was the annual convention of Operation Rainbow/PUSH.
Rev. Jackson had just announced that he’d asked the nation’s premier voting rights attorney, Barbara Arnwine, to chair a commission of real experts to counter Trump’s and Kobach’s commission of zealots and whack-jobs Trump assigned to rewrite the nation’s laws to make voting an effectively whites-only affair. (Trump appointees include “Prof.” Hans von Spakovsky who peddles the completely Loony-Tunes claim that over one million aliens voted in the last election.)
Jackson had called me down to his sanctum to explain Kobach’s secretive “Crosscheck” vote purging program and enlist Sanders’ help in stopping Kobach from forcing this ethnic voter cleansing system on all fifty states.
Today, Wednesday, Kobach (and the nominal Commission Chairman, Vice-President Mike Pence), will hold the first meeting of what Trump calls his “Vote Fraud Commission.”
Weirdly, Kobach will have a formal swearing-in ceremony—for a commission without any congressional authority. Authorized or not, this commission can create big trouble for the remnants of our democracy.
They Gave Kobach their Files – then Lied About It.
Last week, there was a big brouhaha over Kobach asking every state to turn over their voter files, including the last four digits of citizens’ social security numbers.
In response to a public outcry, one GOP Secretary of State after another loudly proclaimed they would not turn over their voter rolls to Kobach and his Commission.
They lied.
It’s absolutely true that the GOP officials of Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi did not hand over their files to Kobach in Washington. However, they failed to mention that they’d already turned over their files, including those social security numbers, to Kobach’s office in Kansas.
In all, 28 states, almost all GOP-controlled, turned over a total of 98,263,382 voter files to Kobach.
And that’s far more dangerous than sending voter files to DC. The files sent to Kansas churned through Kobach’s “Crosscheck” computer program—which spit out the names of 7.2 million “potential double-registered” voters who, Kobach claims, could vote in two states in a single election. And for this “potential” crime, hundreds of thousands will lose their right to vote.
Here, by the way, is the complete list of states that turned over their voter files to Kobach, the number of files given to him and the number of suspected voters in each state.
[image error]
While the Palast team, working for Al Jazeera and Rolling Stone, obtained the confidential lists of millions of names on the Crosscheck suspect list, this document was hidden in plain sight… right there on the website of the Kansas Secretary of State!
No wonder the US media missed it.
But, as the journalist Yogi Berra once said, “It’s amazing what you can see if you look.”
So, enjoy the 5-minute flick, then watch the movie of the full investigation of Kobach and billionaires behind him: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy—A Tale of Billionaires & Ballot Bandits.
And support our work. For four years, we’ve raised the alarm about Kobach. I feel no joy in saying, “We warned you.” Now, we need the funds to carry the investigation forward.
And something new: to make a special, updated “activist” version of our film requested by Reverend Jackson to show in churches nationwide. It’s a request we are honored to fulfill… if we can get the resources. We’re passing the plate.

The New Voter Suppression Has BegunPalast on Thom Hartmann’s The Big Picture
"The Election Integrity Commission is a sham... It’s a blatant attempt at a national voter suppression campaign."
— Thom Hartmann
What Kris Kobach wants is the entire voter files for all 50 states. Of the 44 "resistor" states, I've counted 21 that have already given their lists to Kobach — via his Wichita, KS office instead of the one in DC.
The danger is, we know what Kobach and the GOP have done with these lists before. He’s created something called Interstate Crosscheck where he hunts for “double voters”. He’s already created a list of 7.2 million names of people who are suspected of voting twice. This is why Donald Trump has said there are 3 million double voters, because there are 3 million pairs of names.
Jame Thomas Brown is supposed to be the same voter as James Edward Brown, in other words double voting on a mass basis is a fraud. There aren’t millions of fraudulent voters, there are fraudulent Secretaries of State and con artists like Kris Kobach.
He’s got 28 states, mostly Republican, and he wants the others — especially California and Texas. Because then he’ll have a whole bunch of names to match — like Jose Rodriguez and David Wong — and he can knock off more voters of color.
I kid you not, 587 James Brown’s in Georgia have been tagged by Crosscheck as double voters, even though almost none of the middle names match — that don’t feel good!

GOP States Send Voter Files to Kobach, While Claiming They Will “Resist” His Demand
By Greg Palast for The Progressive
A national outcry followed last week’s request from Kris Kobach, Vice Chair of President Donald Trump’s Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, that state election officials provide him with a long list of personal information on every voter, including party affiliation, date of birth, last four digits of social security number, and more.[image error]Many Republican states (red) indicated to CNN that they will “resist” Kris Kobach’s demand for full voter files—but have already given him those files. Four Democratic states (blue) have made the same inaccurate claim. North Carolina’s Democratic Governor last week ordered his Board of Elections not to hand over voter files to Kobach—but the Republican-controlled board had already turned over 6,745,639 voter files.
Election officials in forty-four states say they will refuse to comply with the June 28 written request from Kobach, whose advisory commission was created in May by Trump via executive order. Trump has made repeated and so-far unsubstantiated claims that millions voted illegally in the 2016 election.
“They can go jump in the Gulf of Mexico, and Mississippi is a great state to launch from,” responded Mississippi's Republican Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann.
“The President’s Commission has quickly politicized its work by asking states for an incredible amount of voter data that I have, time and time again, refused to release,” said Louisiana’s Secretary of State Tom Schedler.
To the contrary, Schedler and voting officials from fifteen other Republican states, the majority of those allegedly “resisting” Kobach’s demand, have already shared detailed voter files with Kobach in his capacity as Secretary of State of Kansas.
Records obtained by The Progressive from the Kansas Secretary of State office showed that Schedler turned over nearly three million voter files to Kobach earlier this year, including voter birthdates and Social Security information.
In Mississippi, Hosemann turned over the state’s entire voter rolls to Kobach, some 2,092,886 files. Each file includes voter names, last four digits of their social security numbers, voting address, and voting history.
Kobach, who has recently announced his candidacy for Governor of Kansas, has indicated the lists will be used to remove illegal voters. But voting rights advocates say the goal is actually to allow fewer people to vote.
Twenty-one states listed by CNN as refusing Kobach his demands for voter files have already turned over voter files to Kobach’s office.
“The lists will almost certainly be used to...suppress the vote of citizens of color,” says Dee Hunter of the newly formed Civil Rights Center. Hunter’s group is part of a coalition including the ACLU, Common Cause, the NAACP of Georgia, Rev. Jesse Jackson of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, and other organizations calling for a halt to the expansion of Kobach’s Crosscheck system.
Voter lists from Mississippi, and twenty-seven other states, were turned over to Kobach beginning years ago as part of a voter-list purge program called "Interstate Crosscheck," Hunter explains. The list aims to identify Americans registered in more than one state and intending to vote twice in one election, which is a crime. Any names identified as potential double-voters receives a postcard which, if unanswered, could lead to removal from the rolls.
According to a Rolling Stone analysis of data obtained from states participating in Interstate Crosscheck, as many as 1.1 million names were purged from voter rolls before the 2016 election.
According to database expert Mark Swedlund, an astonishing one in six Hispanics and one in nine African-Americans are on Kobach’s “potential double registered” list of seven million suspects in the twenty-eight states.
But Crosscheck functions by merely matching the first name and last name of voters in the 28 Crosscheck states. This screenshot of the Georgia-Virginia suspect list created by Kobach shows that Barbara ANN Jackson of Georgia is identified as potentially the same voter as Barbara FAYE Jackson of Virginia. Similarly, Billy RAY Jackson may be the same voter as Billy MANUEL Jackson JR.Detail from Crosscheck results identifying potential "duplicate" voters in Virginia and Georgia.
The matches may seem ludicrous, but all these voters could lose their vote.
Swedlund calls Kobach’s approach a “simplistic, childish” matching algorithm. He says, “If your name is Jose Hernandez, you’re likely suspected of voting in 28 states!”
Indeed, in Virginia, at least 12 percent of voters on Kobach’s list lost their votes before the last election.
Virginia has purged tens of thousands of voters from the state’s rolls using the Crosscheck suspect list.
Before the election I spoke with Kobach at a Republican ice-cream social and asked him about Crosscheck potentially misidentifying voters as duplicate registrants. “Our system would not yield this match,” Kobach insisted. But when I showed him that Crosscheck contained literally millions of mis-matches, he jumped up, clutching his vanilla ice-cream—and ran for it.
He did call later to answer my questions, and stated he saw no problem in Crosscheck’s approach “to get the widest list possible” in the hunt for illegal voters.

Purger-in-Chief Kris Kobach DemandsDetailed Data On Every American Voter
The Al Capone of vote rigging, Crosscheck creator Kris Kobach, in his capacity as Vice Chair of Trump's so-called Presidential Election "Integrity" Commission, has demanded the personal information, voting history, and party affiliation of every US voter.
[image error]
[image error]
The above is a letter Kobach sent to Connecticut Secretary of State Denise W. Merrill, which demanded:
"Publicly-available voter roll data for Connecticut, including, if publicly available under the laws of your sate, the full first and last names of all registrants, middle names or initials if available, addresses, dates of birth, political party (if recorded in your state), last four digits of social number if available, voter history (elections voted in) from 2006 onward, active/inactive status, cancelled status, information regarding any felony convictions, information regarding voter registration in another state, information regarding military status, and overseas citizen information."
According to Vanita Gupta, President and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, who first shared the letter on Twitter, every US Secretary of State was sent a similar missive.
If all 50 states turn over their voter lists to Kobach, expect an additional 2 million voters, mostly citizens of color, to be purged. Even states not in his Crosscheck program will find their lists used for the lynching by laptop. Our elections would be safer giving this info to the Russians!

Or get a signed DVD, signed companion book, or a combo pack and support our work with a tax-deductible donation to the Palast Investigative Fund.
UPDATE: June 30, 5:08PM
Well over 20 Secretary of States are refusing to fully comply with Kobach's request including, bizarrely, Kobach himself, in his capacity as Secretary of State for Kansas. The most forthright response so far has come from a Republican Secretary of State, Delbert Hosemann of Mississippi, who told Kobach & Co that: "They can go jump in the Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi is a great State to launch from."
