ACLU: Felons must check voting status

Civil-rights organizations say the state's scrapping of a controversial list of possible felons was a victory for voters, but counties must still ensure that information they receive from other sources is accurate before purging their voter rolls. State officials abandoned the list of nearly 48,000 names on Saturday after problems emerged in the weeks since copies of the list were released. Now that the list is defunct, local election offices will continue their routine practice of reviewing court information each month to remove felons. [more]
