How Republicans Stole the 2024 U.S. Elections

Greg Palast: "I did a careful analysis of the numbers and BUT FOR racist, illegal voter suppression tactics Kamala Harris would have had an additional 3,565,000 votes.

She would have won Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia - she would have had 286 electoral votes. She would have won the popular vote by about a million and a quarter and the electoral college with 286 electoral votes.

How the heck do I get this stuff? It's all from government figures.

For 25 years I've been doing work as a forensic economist - this is my specialty for the U.S. Justice Dept., for several U.S. Attorneys General, and for 25 years I've been working on vote suppression, calculations; these are numbers that I've provided in technical reports for the ACLU, NAACP, Black Voters Matter; we go into federal courts with these numbers.

These are hard numbers from U.S. Government figures.

DailyBeastie.Com has known Greg Palast over 25 years and know him to be a fierce and fair objective reporter in relentless pursuit of truth in journalism.

Greg Palast has been a Pulitzer prize winning journalist and reporter for Reuters, BBC, Rolling Stone and other top publications and news organizations for decades.

Palast began investigating federal elections over 25 years ago and has been blowing the whistle on election fraud literally every election since the year 2000.

Palast's incredibly revealing investigative reporting on the 2000 and 2004 U.S. Presidential Elections is historical and will always serve as guidance for any voter seeking free and fair elections.

Any YouTube search of Greg Palast will show videos of Palast revealing election fraud over the past 25 years, including years and years of Palast reporting on Republican voter suppression from as far back as the 2000 U.S. Presidential Election.

Greg's reporting and institutional knowledge of Republican voter suppression tactics is so comprehensive that Greg actually produced a shocking film WEEKS PRIOR TO THE 2024 U.S. ELECTION warning and notifying voters of legal and illegal voter suppression tactics that Republicans were going to use in the 2024 Election to suppress millions of votes and steal the 2024 U.S. Elections - which is exactly what occurred.

If you haven't seen the one hour and twenty minute film, Vigilantes Inc., narrated and co-produced by Martin Sheen, you can watch it in its entirety below or click here: >>>>

Leonardo Dicaprio and Jamie Foxx met Greg and was so impressed with Greg's investigative reporting on this subject that DiCaprio and Foxx funded $10 million into Greg's incredible movie, Vigilantes Inc.

Greg reveals in his movie how for the first time ever, Republicans used a new voter suppression law to challenge any voter or any number of voters' registration status, removing those voters from the voter rolls without due process or review.

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission figure of 4,776,706 discarded ballots reflected the fact that when millions of voters went to cast their vote, they were told by election workers that they were not on the state voter roll.

Millions of voters were angry and asked, 'What do you mean I'm not on the voter rolls? I'm a registered voter and have been voting here all my life!"

Election workers told the angry voter, "Don't worry, you can still vote because here's a provisional ballot you can fill out right now and your vote will be counted."

Millions of voters filled out provisional ballots that were summarily thrown in the trash at the end of the night by the election supervisors, who when asked why did they discard all the provisional ballots cast that night? they said, They weren't on the voter rolls, so their provisional ballot and vote doesn't count.

This is the primary method that Republicans used to steal the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.

In fact, Greg Palast is famous (or infamous if you're a Republican) for exposing Republican Party voter suppression tactics in the 2000 Bush-Gore U.S. Presidential Election where Florida GOP state officials removed 58,000 black men from Florida state voter rolls by cross-matching names from a Florida state prison felon list with similiar names on the Florida state voter rolls. Greg said he checked with the Attorney General and not one was an illegal voter.

For example, a Gulf War veteran named Willie Steen was matched with a white guy, a convicted felon from Ohio named Willie O'Steen, but that was good enough for the State of Florida to knock off a black man.

BY THE WAY, Republicans intend to utilize the same voter suppression tactics that Republicans used in 2024, in the 2026 and 2028 U.S. elections.

Democrats remain silent.

Vigilantes Inc.

Greg Palast's must see 2024 Election fraud movie:

PALAST: "Georgia is the swing state of swing states. It's also the test kitchen for GOP vote suppression tactics against people of color - I'm not being partisan about this, I'm not with any party. It's the GOP that's going after voters of color.

For example, the year before the election, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission 4,776,706 voters were purged from the voter rolls without any solid evidence.

I'm not talking about people who died, people who moved.

I did a study for the ACLU in which I took the half million voters they purged in Georgia and I brought in experts from Amazon and the United States Postal Service, turned over these purge lists to these experts for examination.

They came back with 198,000 people on that list - who supposedly didn't live in Georgia anymore, they gave us the names and addresses of 198,000 people who should not have been removed from the voter rolls.

That alone took Georgia.

We did a sample of 800 of these people who were purged and we found that overwhelmingly most were people of color."

The new KKK trick: Vigilante vote challenges.

Our film is called, "Vigilantes Inc. America's New Voter Suppression Hitmen" for a good reason: for the first time since 1946 we've had mass challenges of voters.

And what does that mean?

For example, Greg Palast can say, "Krystal Ball should not be allowed to vote. She doesn't live where she says she lives - don't let her vote."

Now who am I to say that she can't vote?

The answer is, nobody. I'm a just a self-appointed vigilante.

This is something that the Trump campaign resurrected nationwide in 2024.

In 1946 the Ku Klux Klan set out to remove every black voter from the voter rolls using individual challenges of voters.

These are self-appointed vigilantes knocking you off the voter rolls using a 1946 KKK-sponsored law.

Trump resurrected these voter challenges through his group, Tru The Vote, who by August of 2024 they had already challenged and removed 317,886 voters.

One woman who worked for Marjorie Taylor Greene, Pam Reardon, personally challenged 32,000 of her neighbors. One person challenged 32,000 people in Cobb County.

How did she do that? Because the Klan has gone from white sheets to spread sheets.

She took this list from Trump operatives and sent in a spread sheet and said don't let these people vote, I don't believe they are proper voters.

One vigilante who dressed like Doc Holliday who was the Vice-chair of the GOP in southern Georgia, challenged over 4,000 black soldiers out of Fort Benning who were removed and not allowed to vote.

You will meet one of those soldiers in the film. This is what is going on.

Tru the Vote said their goal by election day was two million challenges.

The President of the NAACP said he was suffering over 200,000 challenges by election day.

It is overwhelmingly racial.

QUESTION: How many of these states have vigilante laws where they just assume that the person challenging your right to vote is correct?

PALAST: "Our last count was twenty states - and that includes swing states.

By the way, Trump's lawyer, Cleta Mitchell set up her own challenge organization and she challenged over 10,000 people in Philadelphia.

By the way the reason we named the film "Vigilantes Inc." is because the Ku Klux Klan was so worried that what they were doing was so illegal that they incorporated their organization calling it, Vigilantes Incorporated.

There were some small articles in the New York Times, Atlanta Constitution and other places about these vigilante vote challenges, but no one other than my team has reported on the size of it and its racial characteristic - which bent the election. It's not small.

QUESTION: What is a "spoiled ballot?"

PALAST: "You don't spoil a ballot by leaving it out on the fridge.

One of the weird things in America is we have a massive number of ballots which are not counted - disqualified.

There are about 585,000 ballots spoiled in this last election.

According to the United States Civil Rights Commission, the chance your vote will spoil and not be counted is 900% higher if you're black than if you're white.

That's the U.S. Government numbers.

It's been very difficult to get these numbers; in fact the NAACP had to go to court, sue the State of Georgia in federal court to get some of these numbers.

Spoiled ballots are sometimes called "undervotes" or "overvotes."

I'll never forget back in 2000, 700 ballots were disqualified in a black county in Florida.

People checked the name "Al Gore" for President, but it said "Write In Candidate's Name" so seven hundred people wrote in "Al Gore," and they disqualified their ballots.

They said we don't know who they're voting for - they checked "Al Gore" and they wrote in "Al Gore" - Who did they vote for?

Remember George Bush won by 537 votes. If they had counted those 700 spoiled black ballots, Al Gore would have been President.

QUESTION: What happened with provisional ballots?

PALAST: "If you have been purged, you show up and they say, 'Hey, your name's not here. Hey Kyle, your name's not here but don't worry, we're going to give you a provisional ballot. Just fill out this paper ballot, stick it in this envelope and they'll count your ballot.

PALAST: "NO THEY WON'T. No they won't because whatever stopped you in the first place, they're going to keep you off the ballot. According to the government, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission 42% of all provisional ballots are just thrown in the dumpster.

You know how many provisional ballots were thrown away this last election?

One million, two hundred and sixteen thousand provisional ballots were thrown in the dumpster in 2024. (1,216,000 provisonal ballots)

According to the Brennan Center for Justice and government agencies, if you are black the chance you'll be shunt into a provisional ballot is 300% higher if you're Black, Hispanic or Asian-American than if you're white.

Young people, especially young people of color are given provisional ballots like candy.

I call them placebo ballots - you think that you voted, you feel like you voted but you didn't.

It's racially bent, it's racially biased.

QUESTION: What happened to the mail-in ballots?

PALAST: "Two million, one hundred and twenty thousand mail-in ballots were disqualified in this election. (2,120,000 mail-in ballots)

According to National Public Radio (NPR) calculated that 13.8 % of mail-in ballots never get counted. That's one in seven ballots. MIT did a study that indicated the loss was much higher than one out of seven.

The State of Washington did a study that found that if you're black, you're 400% more likely to have your mail-in ballot disqualified than if you are white.

Unfortunately I think vigilantes, not voters picked our President; and that's what's frightening."

There was a system called, "Interstate Cross Check" that I investigated for Rolling Stone magazine, where the GOP challenged seven million voters before the 2016 election and they knocked off almost a million voters, overwhelmingly voters of color.

What they did, they took common names - in Georgia there were 238 voters named "James Brown" that lost their vote, because they said its the same guy voting again and again.
