Report fears potential 'partisan manipulation' in voter purges
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Report_cites_partisan_manipulation_in_voter_1001.html

David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Published: Wednesday October 1, 2008



It is normal for states to periodically review lists of voters and remove any who have moved, died, or been convicted of felonies. However, with no national standards to control this process, it has become "chaotic," "riddled with inaccuracies," and "vulnerable to manipulation" for partisan purposes.

Those are the conclusions of a new report from the Brennan Center for Justice obtained by CBS News. Brennan Center Executive Director Michael Waldman told CBS, "Officials are making tons of errors, and it's all happening in secret, without public accountability."
