Will Florida disenfranchise voters again?
Last I heard Jeb Bush's state government said it was going to scrap using the ex-felon list it came up with, but still provide the list to counties if they so wish to use the list. Is this still the case? If so, are lawsuits (hopefully) being filed? What is going on to prevent Republicans from cheating again down there?

Re Florida: In 2000, up until election day, nationwide polls almost always showed Bush with a slight lead lead of 3 pts. or more, when election day came, more Americans voted for Al Gore and more Floridians voted for Al Gore than for Bush. So if Bush is up by just 1 pt. in Florida now, the theft of the election done through the disenfranchisement of African-American voters is quite possible again.

3. I don't see how they can
it's not like a member of Bush's immediate family is running the state or anything ... oh, wait...

4. Yes. In addition to the Esatblished Methods there will be new ones
the Busheviks have already devised.

If I lived in Florida, I wouldn't stop working and donating because I might be wrong but my belief is that Bunnypants* will AUTOMATICALLY sweep all electronic "voting" states.

As automatic as a Stalin electoral "victory" in the Soviet Union in 1948.

they may find it harder to get away with this time 'round though.
