This did happen ( the felon purge) but there was no partisan intent as Palast deludes himself into thinking. Felons should not be on the voter roles in states where they lose the right to vote. He's only telling part of the story. This part of the election story was mostly ignored at the time by even the liberals because there wasn't anything to it. With a system that relies on voter honesty, some mistakes will happen. Every measure to make sure we only have honest and fair elections where "one man, one vote" is the end result are fought by the Democrats. This is just off the top of my head. I'll search and find a fair and complete treatment of this story and get back to you.

Thanks, HGC. I'm not sure that there was "partisan intent" either, but it's the kind of sloppiness that makes me sick to my stomach: a State official too busy to get the facts right when the peoples' right to vote is at stake. Blech.
