Our buddy Greg Palast is with us. Who actually won or lost the 2024 presidential election? Greg, welcome back. I should mention you are a Guardian and New York Times reporter and author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. Thom: Your latest film is Vigilantes, Inc., and gregpalast.com is your website. Hey, Greg. Greg: Hey, glad to be with you, Thom. Thom: Thank you. So, who won or lost the election? Greg: It's real simple. If not for vote suppression tactics—that’s a fancy way of saying shafting people of color and young people out of their votes—Kamala Harris would have won by 3,565,000 votes. That’s the number of voters denied their right to vote because they were purged, challenged, or had their provisional ballots thrown out. Let me give you some numbers. The reason I’ve waited to make this report is that I had to get the data from government agencies, particularly the Elections Assistance Commission. People don’t realize that I used to be a professor of statistics and a forensic economist. This is my specialty—numbers. I’ve done this work for attorneys general, the U.S. Department of Justice, and other agencies, even for federal courts. According to the Elections Assistance Commission’s official numbers, 4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from the rolls. I’m not making this up. We had experts from Microsoft and Amazon go through every purge name in two states—Georgia and Wisconsin. For example, in Georgia, we found 198,000 voters who were wrongly removed from the rolls. We even have their names and addresses. Overwhelmingly, these were voters of color. In Wisconsin, nearly every voter removed by the purge was either a Black voter in Milwaukee or a student in Madison. And this year, we saw a new phenomenon: vigilante voter challenges. For the first time, individual voters could challenge others. For example, I could say, “Thom Hartmann doesn’t live in Portland; he shouldn’t be allowed to vote.” By August, there were 317,000 challenges. The NAACP reported over 200,000 challenges in Georgia alone by Election Day. We also had 2.12 million mail-in ballots rejected. This wouldn’t matter if it were random, but it’s not. According to a Washington state study, Black voters are 400% more likely to have their mail-in ballots rejected compared to white voters. Washington has the least voter suppression of any state. The U.S. Civil Rights Commission found that mail-in or in-precinct ballot rejection rates are 900% higher for Black voters than for white voters. Over half a million votes were spoiled because machines couldn’t read them—again, disproportionately affecting voters of color. We had 1.2 million provisional ballots rejected. People think, “Oh, I’ll fill out a provisional ballot.” But 43% of those were thrown out, according to the U.S. government. Provisional ballots are disproportionately given to Black, Hispanic, Latino, and Asian-American voters, who are 300% more likely to receive one than white voters. Factoring in some double counting, the vote suppression rate was about 2.3%. Kamala Harris would have gained 3.565 million more votes, winning Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, with 286 electoral votes. These calculations are precise. Without voter suppression tactics, she would have won. I’ve worked on elections globally, from Britain to Venezuela to Liberia.
