In regards to the Florida debacles it is closed and done and needs only to be brought up as a lesson for all patriotic Americans.  The disenfranchisement of legitimate voters has no place in our republic.

Proof or just more useless hyperbole?

Not to mention the hundreds, of individuals denied voting rights at the polls based on "felony conviction records" which turned out to be 100% erroneous (e.g. a totally different person with the same name as a convicted felon; felony arrest resulted in misdemeanor conviction making them legally eligible to vote under Florida law). The disenfranchised were mostly African-American and lower income voters. Many of these "records of felony convictions were provided by other states to the FL Sec. of State--Katherine Harris, who could forget--before the election. Most were provided by one state in particular--you guessed it: Texas.

It's impossible to say how many of these people tried to vote. It's even impossible to say how many were really removed from the voter rolls - the SoS' files were so large and so obviously (to an expert - not that one was at hand in all counties) error-ridden that many counties just refused point-blank to act on them.

Agreed, and much (though hardly all) of the evidence of numbers in anecdotal. Still, FL was so close it's tough to believe it didn't swing the narrow narrow narrow balance of victory.

New Mexico was closer.
