    My apologies for using the big words.
    I appreciate the protectiveness that you are only concerned about the freedoms of members of this board. However people have had their freedoms tread upon. The Patriot Act removes civil rights that were enshrined in the Magna Carta almost 800 years ago.

    50,000 would be something like 1 percent. The problem here with that felon list is with Florida being such a melting pot destination they were trying to coordinate the list scrub with all the other states. The system was truly fucked but not exactly sure how they could have done any better dealing with so many standards and such.

    When it was all said and done the number that were incorrectly turned away from the polls was a tiny fraction.. probally because only the law abiding citizens actually showed up to the poll to be turned away.

    One person with the legal right to vote being turned away is just as much of a crime as 50K. The party likely to benefit from a portion of the felon population not voting won. The margin of victory was extremely close. One can only expect some bitterness.

    Anyone besides me watch 'Unprecidented: the 2000 Presidential Election' documentary? Thought provoking no matter what side of the coin you are on.

    As I am sure you know American law is rooted in and derived from English Common law.
