In a previous article, "Jay Honeck" said:

remember some people not allowed to vote in Florida? it was an election.
No, no comparison!
The only people who couldn't vote in Florida (in the 2000 presidential
election) were too stupid to figure out the ballot.
They weren't barred from voting by any external force.
WRONG! Several hundred (or was it several thousand) people were prevented
from voting because they had the same names as convicted felons, and
Florida had struck them from the voters rolls. Florida had hired a
company to find the felons and remove them, but the company had done
nothing more sophisticated than a name match, so if there was a convicted
felon named John Wayne Smith anywhere in the country, nobody with that
name was allowed to vote in Florida.
And they did the same damn thing in the last congressional election, in
spite of a law suit from the ACLU.
