U.R. Rong said: "There are few of his kind, convicted or not, that are not felons... Fla. paid for inaccurate felon lists WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Florida's secretary of state spent $4 million to purge voting lists of felons this year, but the lists were incorrect and caused mass confusion at county election offices. About 12,000 people were listed as having felony convictions in Texas and other states even though many had only been convicted of misdemeanors. Others on the list, compiled by a Boca Raton company, had had their voting rights reinstated. Still others were cases of mistaken identity. In Leon County, the elections office received a list of 694 suspected felons, who are ineligible to vote under state law. Of those, Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho said the county only confirmed 34 were actual felons. Sancho, chairman of the state's voting list committee for the secretary of state, said the lists compiled by Database Technologies are unreliable because they depend on information from government agencies that may be outdated and which the company fails to double check.
