    "Many Texans Bereaved Over 'Dead' Voter Purge"

<http://www.npr.org/2012/09/16/161145248/many-texans-bereaved-over-dead-voter-purge?ft=1&f=1014&sc=tw>:

    Quite a few Texas voters are seeing dead people in the mirror these
    days when they go to brush their teeth in the morning.

    In Houston, high school nurse Terry Collins got a letter informing
    her that after 34 years of voting she was off the Harris County
    rolls. Sorry.

    "Friday of last week, I got a letter saying that my voting
    registration would be revoked because I'm deceased, I'm dead. I was
    like, 'Oh, no I'm not!' " Collins says.

    In order to stay on the rolls, the 52-year-old nurse had to call and
    inform the registrar of her status among the living. She tried, but
    it didn't go so well.

    "When I tried to call I was on hold for an hour, never got anyone,"
    she says. "I called three days in a row and was on hold for an hour
    or more."

    Collins, who is black, says she noticed that in Houston, quite a few
    of those who got the letters seemed to be older and black.
