Ralph Neas, president for the People For the American Way Foundation, has finally had enough.

Neas is calling for a Justice Department investigation in the continuing Florida election fiasco, especially after revelations that Bush criminal sibling Jeb, after being advised in May to shitcan the 'voter purge' list, instead ordered its immediate implementation.

“It’s the smoking email. This shows that Governor Jeb Bush knew in May that the list was deeply flawed and could in fact take eligible voters off the rolls. Enough is enough. There must be an independent investigation.

“This isn’t staffers making decisions on their own. This email shows the Governor directly overruling the recommendations of state employees on May 3. On May 5, his Secretary of State, Glenda Hood, ordered the implementation of the purge. It’s amazing. It’s unconscionable.

“This from a man who knew Florida’s reputation for fair elections was at stake, who knows that as the President’s brother, his every action will be put under a microscope. The arrogance is staggering."
Most on the list were Democrats. Black Democrats. Rethug-voting Hispanics were 'almost entirely absent from the list due to a technical error.'
