 Florida's flawed "voter-cleansing" program - Salon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Florida is the only state that pays a private company that promises to "cleanse" voter rolls.The state signed in 1998 a $4 million contract with DBT Online, since merged into ChoicePoint, of Atlanta.
The creation of the scrub list, called the central voter file, was mandated by a 1998 state voter fraud law, which followed a tumultuous year that saw Miami's mayor removed after voter fraud in the election, with dead people discovered to have cast ballots.
In compiling a list by looking at felons from other states, Florida could, in the process, single out citizens who committed felons in other states but, after serving their time or successfully petitioning the courts, had their voting rights returned to them.

 BuzzFlash Interviews Greg Palast, Author of "Best Democracy Money Can Buy," Exposes the Continued Suppression ...
According to Palast, perhaps as many as 91,000 should have their names taken off the "scrub list" and be legally permitted to vote this Tuesday, Nov. 5th.
Not many people know that US civil rights groups have complained to Ashcroft that his plan to send down "monitors" into Black precincts to look for vote fraud looks an awful lot like the "voter integrity" campaigns used by segregationists to intimidate Black voters and defeat the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
[Check my site www.GregPalast.com for listings.] In this film by Danny Schechter, who followed me around when I was investigating for BBC TV, I discover that the purge of "faux felon" fl voters was deliberate: planned and executed with the connivance of the Harris and the Governor’s office.
