A_Young: ".. a company now owned by ChoicePoint of Atlanta, was paid $4.3 million for its work, replacing a firm that charged $5,700 per year for the same service. If the hope was that DBT would enable Florida to exclude more voters, then the state appears to have spent its money wisely."
A_Young: "[The excluded individuals were] ... selected because their name, gender, birthdate and race matched - or nearly matched - one of the tens of millions of ex-felons in the United States. Neither DBT nor the state conducted any further research to verify the matches."
A_Young: "DBT, which frequently is hired by the F.B.I. to conduct manhunts, originally proposed using address histories and financial records to confirm the names, but the state declined the cross-checks. In Harris's elections office files, next to DBT's sophisticated verification plan, there is a hand-written note: 'DON'T NEED.'"
A_Young: (Secretary of State Katherine Harris .. simultaneously in charge of both Florida's voter rolls and George Bush's presidential campaign according to previous URL)

A_Young: "The one county that checked each of the 694 names on its local list could verify only 34 as actual felony convicts."
A_Young: "Madison County's elections supervisor Linda Howell refused the purge list after she found her own name on it. "
A_Young: Are you getting this?
A_Young: (Florida is the State of which W. Bush's brother Jeb is/was governer)
A_Young: "Of the 'matches' on these lists, the civil-rights commission estimated that at least 14 percent - or 8,000 voters, nearly 15 times Bush's official margin of victory - were false."
A_Young: shit man .. just .. shit
A_Young: "I was curious about this company that appears - although never say never in this game - to have chosen the next President for America's voters... 'Given a new President, and what we accomplished in Florida, we expect to roll across the nation,' ChoicePoint told me ominously."
A_Young: "'You say we got over 15 per cent wrong - we like to look at that as up to 85 per cent right!'"
A_Young: etc
