>Wait a minute, now you are claiming that people who's name is the same as those of known felons would have voted for Gore? >Now, how do you prove that? I'm not sure how much of this really is true, and you can't really "prove" this, but you can induce: -Many felons are minorities -Most minorities vote Democrat -Gore was the Democratic candidate -Many minorities have the same names as members of the other same minority group -Therefore, purging people with the same names of felons will purge more people that would've voted for Gore than would've voted for Bush. It's not airtight (induction isn't supposed to be), but it isn't faulty logic, either. -Z

Here's another crime of the Jebster: The voter roll scrubbing wasn't even reported on by the "liberal media" (who are not liberal) but they were the way Bush swiped the election. Now a new way is Bushies in Florida helping Nader. Eligible voters on "felons list" Four years after the Florida vote was decided by 537 ballots, a Miami Herald investigation has found more than 2,100 Florida voters -- many of them black Democrats -- on the state's list of felons potentially ineligible to vote. The Herald had a copy of the list for about a week, and issued their report a day after a state judge said news organizations, including CNN, were allowed to see the felons list. "A Florida Division of Elections database lists more than 47,000 people the department said may be ineligible to vote because of felony records. The state is directing local elections offices to check the list and scrub felons from voter rolls." "But a Herald review shows that at least 2,119 of those names -- including 547 in South Florida -- shouldn't be on the list because their rights to vote were formally restored through the state's clemency process." "That's a potentially jarring flaw, critics say, in a state that turned the 2000 presidential election to Gov. Jeb Bush's brother George on the narrowest of margins -- 537 votes." "Florida -- one of just six states that don't allow felons to vote -- has come under intense criticism over its botched attempts to purge felons since the bitterly contested 2000 presidential election, when myriad problems prompted many elections officials to ignore the purge altogether. The new list is causing its own problems, raising more questions about the fairness and accuracy of the state's efforts to purge the voter rolls of ineligible voters."
