Are You on Florida's Felon List?
People for the American Way has posted the list of Floridians alleged to be felons and ineligible to vote. It also has instructions for how you can correct an erroneous listing:
On July 1, People For the American Way Foundation received from the Florida Division of Elections an electronic copy of a list of more than 47,000 registered Florida voters who the Division thinks may be ineligible to vote because of felony convictions. This list is now a public record available for inspection and copying by anyone as a result of the decision on July 1 by the Leon County Circuit Court in CNN v. Florida Department of State. The Supervisor of Elections in each Florida county has the list, and may use it as part of the basis to purge voters from the registration rolls. The state has admitted, however, that there may very well be errors on the list.
Background on media's successful lawsuit to obtain the list is here.
