even if the voter was an ex-felon he had a right to vote in Florida anyway, so the whole notion was illegal. Ex-felons in Florida do not have the right to vote, but do have the right to apply for reinstatement to the voting rolls, which they are given if they prove they have served their time and paid restitution to their victims. That article you keep citing claims that "the only crime" that 90.2 percent of the scrubbed voters committed was being African American. That's preposterous; the article itself admits that many if not most of the scrubbed voters committed crimes, in many cases felonies. The State of Florida was literally infested with lawyers from both sides in November 2000, and if this had occurred on this scale you can bet a bigger deal would have been made of it then. The articles now are written by biased sources who can't even get the simplest of facts straight. Which may explain why you think it's a good argument. And when you are done carping about this nonissue, you can investigate the rampant double voting that takes place in Illinois and Wisconsin, which included stories of Democratic activists busing people from Chicago to Milwaukee on election day to vote twice. Gore "won" Wisconsin by a margin well under half a percent.
