The full article is in a member's only archive. Moreover, it's dated Nov. 1, 2002, a wee bit out of date. Are you aware of any current articles that discuss the issue?

This is what it states. In December 2000, we reported that Florida's use of a faulty and politically questionable list of felons and dead people "scrubbed" from voter rolls -- half of them African-Americans -- may have cost Al Gore the 537-vote margin of victory claimed by George W. Bush in Florida.

LOL AS. I asked you to show proof (or at least a link) saying that Jeb Bush settled out of court with then NAACP. Instead you post an article in the hate mag salon that says the list is still being used. Funny that they dems won't fight this. Thanks for admitting that you lied when saying Jeb settled out of court with the NAACP, and I will accept your apology for calling me a liar for saying it did not happen. Here's the poop that AS posted from hater Palast in the nearly bankrupt hate mag salon.com. Looks to me like the list must have been legal if still being used. LOL "Nov. 1, 2002 \| In December 2000, we reported that Florida's use of a faulty and politically questionable list of felons and dead people "scrubbed" from voter rolls -- half of them African-Americans -- may have cost Al Gore the 537-vote margin of victory claimed by George W. Bush in Florida. Fast-forward two years. There's another close race in Florida. This time, younger brother Jeb is fighting to fend off a challenge from Bill McBride for the governor's race. The Nov. 5 face-off could again come down to thousands, if not hundreds, of votes. And even though the list has been widely condemned -- the company that created it admits probable errors -- the same voter scrub list, with more than 94,000 names on it, is still in operation in Florida. Moreover, DBT Online, which generated the disastrously flawed list, reports that if it followed strict criteria to eliminate those errors, only 3,000 names would remain -- and a whopping 91,000 people would have their voting rights restored.
