94,000
people on a voter "purge" list -- half of
them African-American --
continue to be banned from voting in Florida,
even though the state knows
the list is wildly inaccurate.

In
December 2000, we reported
that Florida's use of a
faulty and politically questionable list of
felons and dead people
"scrubbed" from voter rolls -- half of them
African-Americans -- may have
cost Al Gore the 537-vote margin of victory
claimed by George W. Bush in
Florida.
