So the complaint by Dems is that the state is removing people from the voter lists who by law shouldn't be there?  Sheesh.

No, there is no complaint for that reason, although the law has been thrown into questionable constitutional light by the Appeals Circuit. There is only skepticism about the error rates of the list. Which is healthy since the 2000 election was stolen. I didn't believe that until I did some research myself, but now it appears agreed on a bipartisan level that innocent people were denied their right to vote due to failure of Florida officials to perform their duty.

Another thing-- This article is a little confusing because on one hand it suggests a completed list, on the other, it is obviously unsure of how many will ultimately be purged, suggesting that only preliminary data has been gathered... "potential" felons was the phrased used. I do hope they are matching by SSN and not name this time.

Skeptiscm about error rate of the list?  Why?  Those purged are either felons or they aren't.  It's not subjective.   There are legal records - a definite legal paper trail.  The person was a convicted felon or he or she is not.  if they are, they shouldn't be on the list as per established Florida law.

Well there's a paper trail but unless these people are going to be informed, if a mistake is made it probably won't come out until somebody goes and tries to vote and finds out he can't. Secondly, it is easy to confuse people's identity if two people have the same name and that's what you are going by. If they do it by SSN, and inform the people purged so that they can challenge before the election, there probably won't be a problem. If they don't, there could be.
