TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The state Division of Elections failed to sufficiently oversee an outside company that created a database meant to check voter registration against lists of felons and dead people, but there wasn't any intent to disenfranchise anyone, an internal audit of the database found.

But earlier this year Secretary of State Glenda Hood's office abandoned the project after acknowledging that 2,500 ex-felons were on the list even though their voting rights had been restored through the state's clemency process and that, due to a technical glitch, Hispanics were largely absent from the list of those recommended for potential purging. Hispanics often vote Republican in Florida, and some critics questioned whether there was intent to purge some felons, but not others.

2. Yeah, sure, no intent

why THEN even HAVE such a list? What a bunch of LIARS.

Furthermore, Hood dropped this under threat of a FOIA lawsuit from CNN.

4. Some might have believed 'no intent' the first time in 2000

But again? Nope. This was definitely the intent.
