2. Yes - Katherine Harris used voter rolls purging to remove people

And not just black voters - many others were affected also.

One of the articles at the time mentioned that the Seminole County Supervisor of Elections stopped taking people off the voter rolls when she realized her name was among those to be removed. Ion Sancho did a random check and decided the lists were inaccurate and he never took anyone off based on the state provided list. I doubt that link still exists but I saved the article which is archived with all my other records from 2000.

Ion Sancho is targeting the reinstatement of felons and believes that it should be automatic once they have served their sentences. That is 1.5 million people just in Florida, mostly minorities. Think of the difference that would have made this year!
