Thanks for the reference. Doesn't look like many of them were in prison so properly you should refer to them as "ex-convicts." Registration officials need to check the criminal history files.

The one I liked most was Doreen:

Doreen John, 22, of Miami, said she thinks it's unfair to keep ex-convicts from voting. She was sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison in 1994 on convictions for armed robbery, kidnapping, burglary and carrying a concealed weapon. She cast a ballot Nov. 7.
``Before I got locked up, I voted,'' she said. ``I didn't know I couldn't vote now. I don't think that's fair. If you did something in the past, that should have nothing to do with it.''

If she was telling the truth about her age, she was 16 years old when sentenced and voted when she was underage. Sounds like a problem in Dade.
