The GOP voter suppression targets Dems

You keep saying what it's not. Are you saying that there is no pattern here? Do you know the definition of the word "pattern".

Coincidence does not equate to causation....

Hmm, but you seem to cast that aside when you speak about the Author of the Article, the Expert in the article and now the link from the blog. I thought Coincidence does not equate causation? But I see that is just a clever phrase to ignore what you dont like and validate the things you do.

Here...Now you can question the author on this one, or if that doesnt work you can question the officials and their childs teachers too

Florida voter purge gets pushback from elections supervisors, U.S. Justice

Florida elections supervisors said Friday they will discontinue a state-directed effort to remove names from county voter rolls because they believe the state data is flawed and because the U.S. Department of Justice has said the process violates federal voting laws.

Now question the Justice Department.

Florida's current effort also appears to violate the National Voting Right Act's prohibition on any major voter scrub 90 days before an election, Herron wrote. With an Aug. 14 primary scheduled in Florida, that would prohibit scrubs after May 16.

Now you can question the National Voting Rights Act...make sure you look up who wrote it because then you can "question" their credibility too. Whatever you do, dont question the voter rolls. Politics of Personal Destruction doesnt work that way

Nelson precisely cites a Palm Beach Post analysis that put the total number of people wrongfully dropped from the voter rolls in 2000 at about 1,100. Other estimates of wrongful targets are much higher, and experts about the 2000 election tend to go with those. Trouble is, we don’t have exact figures.

However, Nelson’s broader point -- that a significant number of people were wrongly tossed from Florida’s voter rolls -- is valid. And he did say at least.

We rate his statement True.

Politifact.

Florida undertook a similar purge of voter rolls in 2000, but that list was shown to include the names of many who were not felons. The new effort at such a purge, begun by Governor Bush's administration in May, was supposed to be free of those problems. But after a state judge last week ordered the release of the current list, it became clear that thousands of felons who had been granted clemency were still on it.

Hispanic Republicans outnumber Hispanic Democrats by about 100,000 voters in Florida. But more than 90 percent of the approximately one million registered blacks there are Democrats. The exclusion of Hispanics from the purge list explains some of the wide discrepancy in party affiliation of voters on the felon list, which bears the names of 28,025 Democrats and just 9,521 Republicans, with most of the rest unaffiliated.
