<<The press hasn't confirmed anything yet on that issue. They're making good
copy, however. >>
To find felony voters, The Herald compared a list of
voters in those counties with a Department of
Corrections database listing felons who had served
at least a year in prison.
The Herald review included counties where voter
lists could be obtained -- about 8 percent of the
5.9 million votes cast on Nov. 7. It encompassed all
votes cast in Palm Beach and Pasco counties, most
votes cast in Duval County, and only absentee votes
in Miami-Dade, Broward, Lee, Leon, Hillsborough,
Clay and the Panhandle counties of Escambia,
Okaloosa and Bay.
At least 445 Florida felons voted illegally on Nov.
7, casting another cloud over a disputed
presidential election already mired in legal
challenges, a Herald investigation has found. |
