You sound a lot less ignorant when you actually read the article and respond to what's in it, ie citizens who have never committed any crimes are purged from the voter rolls because they share the same name as a convicted felon.

While we're on the subject though, Florida is one of fourteen states that disallows ex-felons from ever voting again. Interesting thing though, is that Florida has the most of any state, with roughly 400,000 ex-cons who don't have the right to vote, out of an estimated 1.3 million nationwide.
