Who's On The List?

Sam Heyward has voted in almost every election for the past decade or so. But according to the Florida Division of Elections, he's a possible felon who should be struck from the voter rolls.

Heyward appears on an infamous list - a list of 47,687 that is drawing national attention after possibly thousands of eligible voters like him were turned away from the polls in the election that gave George W. Bush the presidency.

Some may have been purged from the voter rolls because of mishandled paperwork or a typing mistake. Some may have been law-abiding citizens who just had the same name as a criminal.

Now that the state has issued another list of people at risk of being taken off the voter rolls, two documents are very important to Heyward: his tattered, blue voter-identification card and a freshly photocopied 1986 clemency form that gave him his right to vote.
