Does anyone know what's going on with this and with voters being struck from several of the swing states?

DENVER (AP) - Election watchdog groups are suing Secretary of State Mike Coffman, alleging that tens of thousands people have been wrongly removed from the state's voting rolls.

The lawsuit was filed in federal court Friday. It alleges that Coffman violated federal election law in two ways.

First, the suit says Coffman has removed the names of about 3,000 voters because election notices that were sent to them were returned as undeliverable. That's allowed under Colorado law but the Advancement Project and other groups say that violates federal law.

They also believe that tens of thousands of voters have been wrongly removed within 90 days of Election Day for reasons that aren't clear.

Those who don't match in Oregon, for example, can cast a ballot, but their vote for president or any other federal race on a ballot won't be counted unless they can clear up the discrepancy up until 8 pm on election night. About 10,958 Oregon voters currently fall into this category, though the number changes daily as voters resolve their issues and are removed from the list, while others get added. In September, the number was 9,500.

Three states -- Iowa, Louisiana and South Dakota -- won't register applicants who fail to match. Iowa does, however, permit Election Day registration, which may allow a rejected applicant to reapply for registration at the poll and cast a regular ballot. Louisiana and South Dakota let the rejected applicants vote after showing ID at the poll but only on a provisional ballot, which may or may not be counted, depending on circumstances and state law.

In Florida, new voters who register after Sept. 8 and who fail a HAVA match must mail a copy or bring a hard copy of their ID to an election office before Nov. 4 to show that the ID number on their registration application is correct. Voters who don't do this can cast a provisional ballot on Election Day, but it will be counted only if they bring or send a copy of their ID to an election office within 48 hours. ID presented at the poll will not be accepted.

Critics say these extra hurdles will prevent many voters from casting ballots or having their ballot counted.
