Everything I read in the linked article supports my claim.
Actually, the article outright rebuts it:
"But a review of state records, internal e-mails of DBT employees and testimony before the civil rights commission and an elections task force showed no evidence that minorities were specifically targeted.
...
Records show that DBT told the state it would not use race as a criterion to identify felons. The list itself bears that out: More than 1,000 voters were matched with felons though they were of different races."
AND
"The list identified thousands of legal voters as criminals, forcing them to prove their innocence before they could cast a ballot."
So no. The article clearly, concisely, exactly says the opposite of your claim.
What the linked article didn't mention, but what is mentioned in the movie Unprecedented, are the connections between the State government (under Jeb Bush at the time) and ChoicePoint and the specifics on how the purge rolls were generated.
You run with a conspiracy theory film, I go with the Palm Beach Post. Okay then.
As long as the voters purged vote to the left of the spectrum, it seems, you have no problem. With that observation, I'm done with this useless thread.
Odd assertion to make.
