Yup.

ALSO, going back to our exchange awhile ago about decline of the print
press:  the PalmBeach Post reporter here, who draws upon work he did 12
years ago, is a helluva example of the value of professional
journalists.

Palm Beach Post:

hitect-of-felon-voter-purge-behind-floridas-new/nSp9t/>  "The Republican
attorney who engineered the 2000 Florida felons list, which African
American leaders said purged thousands of eligible blacks from voter
rolls in the state and helped swing that election to the GOP, also wrote
the first draft of Florida's controversial House Bill 1355 that has
restricted early voting and voter registration campaigns in 2012."

You really need to read the whole thing.  Eye-opening.
