JDN: immense voter fraud has been uncovered by felons

I have been wondering about this report ever since the election.

One one hand, you can check my previous posts about the voter reg scrub program and the very questionable legality of the activities of the Secretary of State's office in this regard. So it may be that a substantial number of these "felons" actually had a legitimate right to vote.

On the other hand, when a Florida citizen registers to vote there is a question on the form asking if they have ever been convicted of a felony. So it is easy to cull from the polls how many felons voted. But a reporter could easily disregard, or never check, whether they were convicted in other states and had their right to vote restored. Plus the list given to Florida of "felons" by DBT of Texas had so many thousands of errors, for which they accept no responsibility, that this report could have been entirely false.
