Rev, from what I was reading of the process (very cursory reading) there were *several* verifications that had to be made in order to purge someone.... But yes, I think contacting the voter to clarify should be one, if it's not already.
Ah, apparently, this is not correct. Yea, I know, never trust a news article. But also, never trust a government employee to do more than the bare minimum. Some do, don't get me wrong. But the overwhelming majority do not.
"Instead, in April, the state sent out a list of more than 2,600 names to election supervisors. Since then, local supervisors have removed roughly 100 voters from the rolls for being non-U.S. citizens, though at the same time
more than 500 voters have turned out to be citizens.A survey of supervisors showed that counties handled the list differently. Some never even sent out letters asking voters if they were not U.S. citizens. And some never did suspend their efforts. Collier County election officials said on Wednesday that it has removed 26 out of 27 voters sent to them by the state. Some of those voters were removed because they failed to respond to mail requests for information."
If you think the government can operate an extremely critical database involving Constitutional rights with less than a 10-20% error rate, you need to pass the good stuff.
