Paft: The Republican administration of Jeb Bush hired a private company to purge voter rolls using very rough name matches as part of a highly publicized "election reform."
bdj: Nope, sorry. It was done by individual counties pursuant to Florida law.

So you're claiming, in all seriousness, that the Florida Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, and the Florida Director of Elections, Clay Roberts, had nothing to do with it?

bdj: They instructed the company to cast a wide net, again, per law. The idea is to keep illegitimate voters off the rolls.

And they were warned -- repeatedly -- that the net was so wide that a very, very high number of legal voters were being labeled as illegitimate.

bdj: To ensure that those who are valid voters didn't get permanently removed, an appeals process was put in place.

Which, given the sheer volume of people who'd been purged, was unlikely to be completed before the election.

Paft; And many individuals did not in fact learn that they had been purged until the day they attempted to vote.
bdj:P That's their fault.

Why?

jbdj: Except that no one was victimized by voter suppression.

Are you denying that law-abiding voters were falsely labeled felons and refused access to the ballot?
