TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Gov. Jeb Bush ignored advice to "pull the plug" on a flawed felon voter list before it went out to county election offices in spite of a warning from leery state officials, according to a published report Saturday.

Computer experts in the Department of State and Florida Department of Law Enforcement were concerned about the software program that matched data on felons with voter registration rolls to create the purge list of 48,000 names, The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported.

Jeff Long, a computer expert with the FDLE, told his supervisor in a May 4 e-mail that Paul Craft, the Department of State's point man on the purge list, had recommended it be scrapped.

"The Gov rejected their suggestion to pull the plug, so they're 'going live' with it this weekend," Long wrote in an e-mail obtained by the newspaper after a public records request.

1. The BFEE must be defeated.

It's that simple. If we don't send the shrub back to Crawford, Jeb, who is just as evil, but much smarter will be in great position in 2008. The damage to our country might be irreversible.

2. Don't we have some lawyers around that can sue these totalitarian

wannabes to prevent this list from being used in, at least, the largest counties?
