More
than 2,100 Florida voters -- many of them black Democrats -- could be
wrongly barred from voting in November because Tallahassee elections

vote, a Herald investigation has found. 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. [more]
