   Thanks for the url.  I read the article just now, and sure enough--
"The [New York] Daily News said it could not provide an exact count of
how many people vote in both places, because millions of names are
purged between elections. But the newspaper found that between 400 and
1,000 registered voters voted twice in at least one election, a
federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000
fine."
   And what's up with a newspaper being the only entity that keeps
track of voters?  Makes you wonder what the full-time employees of all
the various election commissions do with their computers.  Of course,
it also makes me wonder who thought of this project and why - but
that's just normal election-year paranoia.
  (A word to folks who might want to get into a rant about them
cheatin' democrats - please reread the first sentence quoted above.
Thanks.)
