State culls 55,000 names from voter database

As reported here, "About 55,000 voter registrations have been scrubbed from the state's new elections database after investigators found duplicate entries and dead voters on the rolls, Secretary of State Sam Reed said Friday.

The purge of illegal registrations is the result of months of work by county and state elections officials, who began combing the new statewide voter database after its launch in January."

This is a start, which is encouraging, but it isn't enough in my opinion. For one thing, they aren't culling the names of felons who have not had their voting rights restored, as they are waiting on the appeal by AG McKenna to the ludicrous ruling handed down by a judge saying that felons can't be denied their 'right' to vote, simply because they haven't paid all of their fines and fees, which I posted about here, and here.
