It was derived from the numbers of illegals that apply for services
divided
by high/low estimates from INS. I don't remember the exact source, but it
came out in May, 2001.

AAMOF, my M-I-L, who is 88, has voted in every election since 1936, after
coming over from Scotland when she was nine yers old, and has NEVER become
a
US citizen (as she's now finding out the hard way as she applies for
assisted living for seniors).


Until you have a reference and data it's supposition and unproven. It's a
pretty far stretch from applying for services to voting.



Well, then let's talk about the flawed voter roll purges that occured in
both Texas and Florida.

Really credible source, Salon is.

Ok here are more references.

The argument is AMERICANS...and that implies ONCE, LIVING, NOT A FELON...

A felony conviction does not permenantly remove your right to vote. If it
were I'm sure
Admiral Poindexter would be very disappointed. If you read the article you
would see that it's not just an issue with felons, it's also just the plain
sloppy job the company did, capturing people who had no conviction. Their
selection algorithm was just plain flawed.

I remember that in the first hours of the election returns Bush had a
54-46%
lead over Gore (at about the 35-45% of votes cast). Considering that rural
areas, Bush's strong points, are LATER in getting their numbers in,
something funky happened.

Again, just conjecture.


They never did look into the counties that had HUGH turnouts by dead
people,

Data please.

including several counties that Gore won that were very typical Bush
territory

Not inconceivable.

even more votes cast than people living there (New York and
Penn.).


Live in one county, work and vote in another. References?
