CNN has sued Florida’s elections office to force them to hand over a list of possible felons who could be purged from voter rolls before the November elections. The state has compiled a list of possible felons that it sends to county elections officials who then review the list with their voting rolls. After the 2000 election, an investigation by BBC reporter Greg Palast found thousands of eligible voters were illegally purged from the election rolls in Florida because their names were similar to those of convicted felons.
