Subject: RE: BS: Ugh ...the recount
Brian, can you state specifics please? The hearings in Tallahassee held by the Voting Rights Commission did not turn up a single qualified voter who was denied the right to vote. There were problems with the purge lists, true, and the investigations there are ongoing. In my county, the Supervisor of Elections threw the purge list out when she found HER name on it as a convicted felon.
Purge lists are, nevertheless, legal and their use does not constitute prima facie evidence of illegal disenfranchisment. They are very useful in screening out people who have no right to vote in a county or precinct because they have moved, are convicted felons, or are dead, to name a few.
Doug, I thought you were gonna stay out of these political threads. *BG*
