Couldn't agree more Martha. Why is Hartmann just bringing this to light. The idiom shut the barn door comes to mind meaning to try to stop something that has already happened or is in the process of happening and cannot be stopped; to make an effort that is futile because the damage has already been done.

Just bringing this to light? I’ve been yelling about this for over 20 years. I wrote a whole damn book about it several years ago, which we are serializing on Sundays right now.

Thom Hartmann, I wouldn't be on this substack, if I didn't admire and appreciate what you have been doing. No, I'm sorry I have not read your book. My comment did not relate to your whole newsletter. It related to what you revealed on voter suppression, particularly in the last election. Spoonamore, Daniel Solomon, and myself commented on Spoonamore's revelation. It appeared to fall on deaf ears. Harris and Biden folded. Why is my question? I expected journalists to fall all over themselves reporting this. Instead, I heard from various quarters that Spoonamore has been saying things like this for years, leaving me to believe his analysis was not well respected. It's a bit late now to let the horse out of the barn.

This is my latest post to Thom hartmann. I should have been more specific in my reply to you. It wasn't what you revealed. It was what Greg Palast revealed and you brought to light. Mr. Hartmann, my apologies, in reviewing an earlier report by you, I found you actually warned about voter suppression. Timing is everything, and those with the voices that can make a difference failed us, Again, I support what you're doing and admire your ability to relay it to the rest of us.
