Electoral Dysfunction 2.0

After Florida wrongly purged eligible voters from its rolls in 2000, several media organizations decided to follow up on how the state had fixed the problem this time around.

In response to a media-led lawsuit filed in June, Circuit Judge Nikki Ann Clark overuled a state law that prevented the release of the state's controversial list of 47,763 suspected felons. After thus inspecting the names on the list, newspapers found what many have long suspected - thousands of voters who shouldn't be listed, with about three times as many Democrats as Republicans cited.
